From bread machines to mixers, there are all sorts of rarely-used appliances that take up space on kitchen counters. This can leave little room to prepare food, unpack groceries, and store other belongings. When items live on the countertops, it makes the space appear cluttered and disorganized. If you’re about to start a kitchen remodeling project, below are a few ways to create more storage space.

5 Storage Ideas to Consider for Kitchen Remodeling 

1. Put an Appliance Garage on the Counter

A bulky appliance on a kitchen counter not only takes up space, but it can also clash with other features in the room. To save space and keep a cohesive design, conceal equipment in an appliance garage. It resembles a large box with a roll-up door. You can find a material and finish to complement other design elements. 

2. Create Corner Storage

When working on a kitchen remodeling project, a storage cabinet in a corner will conserve space. A contractor can install carousel shelves in the unused area. The fixture turns, like a lazy Susan, allowing you to store more items and easily access them without taking up additional space. 

3. Switch to Full-Extension Drawers

When drawers only open halfway, it limits what you can store in the fixtures. Installing drawers that fully extend make it easier to grab anything towards the back. You can also find full-extension drawers with deep compartments to store dry goods and additional items you can’t fit in overhead cabinets. 

4. Consider Drawers With Deep Compartments

If kitchen drawers are too shallow to hold anything more than dishware and utensils, replace them with deeper fixtures. This way, you’ll have a dedicated space close to the stove to keep pots, pans, and additional cookware. You can fit more stacked dishes in deeper drawers, too, just remember to put dividers in the compartments to prevent damage.  

5. Remodel the Pantry

If you have a walk-in pantry, consider changing the layout to maximize storage. You can add more shelving to hold non-perishable items in labeled containers. If appliances are stored in the pantry, you can also take out a few shelves to provide more space to house larger equipment.
