Cooking, hosting guests, and enjoying a family meal can all feel stressful if you’re low on kitchen storage. As one of the most used areas in your home, the kitchen should be comfortable, not cluttered. Fortunately, these renovation ideas for storage upgrades will make your kitchen more functional and attractive.

3 Ways to Maximize Storage in Your Kitchen

1. Rolling Shelf Cabinets

A lot of room gets wasted when you cram items and appliances into a cabinet. To get the most from the space, install cabinets with stacked rolling shelves. This upgrade allows you to better organize loose items while ensuring no space is wasted. It also makes it easier to reach what you need when you can roll the shelf out instead of digging through the cabinet.

2. Island Storage

A solid-faced kitchen island has valuable storage potential. Cut out the existing sides and replace them with open shelves or cabinets and drawers. You’ll be able to store a variety of appliances, such as blenders and toasters, along with larger pots and pans that crowd other cabinets. If the island is large enough, you can even install a microwave or warming drawer.

3. Add a Pantry

Tired of looking at loose food items on the counter or having them crowd your cabinets? If you have the space, build a walled-off pantry. This dedicated room can house all of your dry food and miscellaneous kitchen items, along with cleaning tools. If you already have a pantry you feel is underutilized, have renovation professionals install more shelving and cabinetry so you can better organize items.
