A kitchen remodeling project can help maximize your existing space and increase the aesthetic appeal of your home. As you begin the kitchen design process, prioritize the inclusion of features that will keep the room beautiful, organized, and easy to use. Here are a few ideas to ensure the space is functional. 

Organizational Features for Your Kitchen Remodeling Project

1. Kitchen Island

When you have a busy household, meal times can be hectic. Install an island with a variety of drawers and cabinets for storage. If there’s enough space, build appliances like a dishwasher or stove top into the island. Make sure there’s plenty of countertop space for food preparation. Also, put in seating so family members can eat at the island, but make sure your kitchen designer adds enough space for your knees.

2. Custom Cabinets

With appliances, dishware, pots, and pans, storage space is always crucial in the kitchen. For increased storage, install custom cabinets. Corner cabinets with an internal turnstile take advantage of the depth of this area. 

3. Extension Drawers 

If your pantry is filled with baking ingredients, herbs, spices, and paper products, it can be difficult to find items. Build extension drawers into your pantry to make it easy to access food. You’ll be able to see everything on each shelf, saving you time and preventing you from buying duplicate items. 

4. Tray Storage

If your kitchen gets messy, finding the right cutting board, serving tray, or baking sheet can involve rearranging and sorting through stacks and piles of cookware. Design custom cabinets with upright storage to it’s easy to find the tray you need, without having to move items around.
