Q: How thick should I make my pantry shelves?

• <div><p>The depth of your pantry shelves should range between 12 and 24 inches, depending on how high it sits on the wall and your pantry size. Higher shelves should fall on the thinner side since it is harder to reach deep shelving areas the higher you go.</p></div>

Q: Is a medicine cabinet outdated?

• <div><p>Medicine cabinets are not necessarily outdated, but they have evolved in design and functionality. However, some homeowners prefer other storage solutions, like wall-mounted shelving or modern vanity cabinets with built-in storage. Still, medicine cabinets remain a practical and space-saving choice in many bathrooms. In most cases, potential home buyers won&rsquo;t be swayed by a medicine cabinet one way or the other.</p></div>

Q: Do cabinet handles come in standard sizes?

• <div><p>While a three-inch center-to-center handle is common, there&rsquo;s no guarantee that sizing will be the same for every cabinet. Different types of handles have different sized holes to attach them and there are lots of different cabinet handle widths and styles. You should measure to be sure you know the size of a handle and to avoid surprises.</p></div>
