Make The Most Out of Your Kitchen Storage
There’s a lot that belongs in your kitchen, groceries, pans, utensils and don’t forget about bulky appliances. Sometimes there just isn’t enough space anymore to place your things. Here are our tips to make the most out of your kitchen storage.
This may seem a bit obvious, but when designing or remodeling your kitchen, make sure to select deep drawers for pots and pans or non-perishable food storage! Full extension drawer slides may be a great alternative to an already finished kitchen if you aren’t planning on a full remodel. Full extension drawer slides allow you to access the full drawer and support more weight than the average ones. These slides come in many different lengths, make sure to look and see which suit your drawers the best. Before installing, make sure you have enough room to pull the drawer out completely, as it wouldn’t make much sense if there is an island in front of it!
Make use of all the space you have and don’t let corners stop you! Lazy Susans are a great option for storing smaller items you need easy access to, like spices.
Appliances can be bulky and take up valuable counter and pantry space! Consider installing appliance garages in your kitchen. These garages assure your appliances are in reach at all times but also out of sight. If you want to be able to use them directly in the garage, make sure the space is properly vented and has enough electrical wiring. There are a ton of different styles like rolling, folding, sliding or tuck-in doors. If you want a futuristic kitchen, consider a garage that rises from underneath the counter by the touch of a button. You can also design one deep into the backsplash area to keep your counter space clutter-free. For this, borrow some space from the room behind the wall.
Islands provide even more valuable counter space as well as storage if you choose to hollow out one side and install drawers or shelving! This kind of storage is great for items you need on a daily basis like cookbooks, dishes or utensils. If you’re looking to build an island during your kitchen remodel, don’t hesitate to contact us! We offer top quality natural stones such as quartz, marble, and granite for countertops.
Take advantage of wall space! Hang pots, pans and cooking utensils on walls or inside of cabinet doors to help declutter drawers filled to the brim.
