“Toe kicks”
That indented wood strip that connects your cabinets to the floor is called a “toe kick” and it isn’t just there to make your cabinets the right height to comfortably work on.
According to Jason Pickens, designer and host of HGTV.com’s The Work Around, the toe kick makes it possible to open your cabinet doors without hitting your feet, as well as making it easier to stand closer to the counter.
