Just because you have a small kitchen doesn’t mean you can’t spruce it up and make it more functional. When undertaking a renovation, incorporate these smart storage ideas to make the most of every square inch.

4 Small Kitchen Storage Renovation Ideas

1. Vertical Pull-Out Shelves

If your kitchen cabinets have small spaces between them to accommodate decorative features like pillars, put them to better use. Install vertical pull-out shelves in which to line up non-perishables like condiments, cereal, and spices. If space allows, you can even have one beside the sink with a towel rack and small shelf to let the dishwashing materials dry.

2. Vertical Tray Storage

If you’re an avid baker or host, you likely have a variety of sheet pans, cutting boards, and serving trays. Instead of stacking them, then taking them all out to find the one you need, set up vertical dividers in a deep drawer. You can see your inventory and sort it with ease.

3. Corner Solutions

Corners take up valuable real estate while being cumbersome in which to fit kitchen items. Install custom drawers that pull out to reveal arrow-shaped spaces, which offer extensive depth to accommodate long-handled pots and pans. If you prefer an open concept plan, leave the corners uncovered and add round, spinning shelves inside in the style of lazy Susans to bring everything to you.

4. Appliance Garage

If you regularly use appliances like the coffee maker, toaster, and blender, you might think it’s easier to leave them out on the counter rather than storing and removing them every day. However, appliances eat up space. A handy solution is to carve out a niche in the wall for them so they can sit on the counter while still being out of the way. You can also add a small door to hide them when not in use.
