Can I Add a Dishwasher to a Home with Original Cabinets?

The original cabinets may not really impact your decision unless they’re super old. The key is to check if there’s space next to your sink for a dishwasher, and whether you can get the necessary connections for water, power, and drainage.

Don’t forget, there are portable dishwashers if you're not ready for a full install! They can be a great space-saving option, too.

If you can remove a 24-inch section of cabinet next to your sink, it probably won’t be too hard to install a dishwasher. Otherwise, you might need to adjust more of the cabinets, which could mean a bigger remodel. Just something to think about!
