As the leaves turn and the days grow shorter, one thing becomes crystal clear—the holidays are just around the corner. That means hosting family, preparing big meals, clearing space for guests, and trying to keep everything organized while staying festive and sane.

But here’s the question: Is your kitchen, bathroom, or pantry ready for the holiday season?
If your cabinets are outdated, dysfunctional, or not optimized for hosting, now is the perfect time to make a change. At 3D Cabinets by Design, we help families across Coeur d’Alene, Hayden, and surrounding North Idaho communities create spaces that are both beautiful and functional—just in time for the holidays.
Let’s dive into why a cabinet remodel, redesign, or update before the holiday season is one of the best gifts you can give yourself (and your home).
A Season of Hosting: Is Your Kitchen Cabinet Layout Working for You?
There’s something magical about gathering in the kitchen during the holidays. But when drawers stick, cabinets don’t close properly, or you’re constantly digging for that one serving platter, the joy of hosting can quickly turn into holiday frustration.
Hosting Highlights That Reveal Cabinet Flaws
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, your cabinets might be ready for an upgrade:
-
You have to shift five things to find the roasting pan
-
Your guests crowd into your narrow cooking space
-
You don’t have enough drawers for flatware or utensils
-
There’s nowhere to store bulk ingredients or holiday baking supplies
A clever cabinet design and layout update can fix these problems before the holidays hit. From pull-out spice racks to deep pantry drawers, modern cabinetry is all about making your space work harder and look better.

Family Coming to Stay? Optimize Guest Bathroom & Entry Storage
Hosting during the holidays isn’t just about the kitchen—it’s your whole home. Guest bathrooms, laundry areas, and mudrooms often become command centers for chaos when friends and family come to visit.
Cabinetry Solutions That Make Hosting Easier
In the bathroom:
-
Add under-sink storage for toiletries
-
Install built-in linen cabinets for towels
-
Create countertop space that’s both clean and stylish
In the mudroom or entryway:
-
Build custom cubbies for coats, shoes, and backpacks
-
Add bench seating with storage underneath
-
Make room for winter gear before the snow hits
In Hayden and Coeur d’Alene, where winter weather starts early and the snow sticks around, having organized entry storage can make a huge difference in managing mess and maximizing comfort.
