The kitchen is often the busiest room of the house, especially around the holidays. It’s also a place where you need to store a lot of things – food, dishes, appliances, cookware. If yours doesn’t currently have enough storage for your liking, upgrading your kitchen cabinets will create a more functional layout. 

Optimize Your Kitchen Storage With These Design Tips

1. Install Kitchen Cabinets Under the Island

If you have an island or peninsula in your kitchen, you might not be making full use of it. Instead of just using it for seating and extra counter space, have additional kitchen cabinets made to fit underneath. That way, you can add storage near the seating area without taking up extra space.

2. Add Vertical Storage

If your cabinets don’t reach all the way to the ceiling, add some additional storage above. Either have extra cabinet doors installed or add a shelf to store decorative or rarely-used items.

3. Include Shelving Along Your Backsplash

Add a simple shelf below your kitchen cabinets along the backsplash. Choose a glass material or wood stained to complement the color of the backsplash. Then use it to store glasses or other items that will look attractive on display.

4. Utilize Pull-Out Cabinets

Some homeowners don’t use all of the storage space they have because it’s difficult to reach the very back of a deep cabinet or shelf. If you have this problem, have pull-out cabinets installed so you can easily access everything, even those items at the very back.

5. Organize With Storage Bins

Make the most of your storage space by using bins or baskets inside your cabinets and drawers. These items help you group similar items together so everything is easy to find and access.
