Small kitchens can be adorable, but they provide limited space to store your pots and pans, utensils, and food. Luckily, well-planned and creative kitchen remodeling can maximize storage and functionality so you aren’t dealing with a cluttered space while you cook.

Kitchen Remodeling Tips to Enhance Storage

1. Add Narrow Cabinets

At first glance, narrow kitchen cabinets may seem like they don’t offer much storage space, but they can accommodate many items. For example, you can place cookie sheets and cooling racks on their sides. Narrow cabinets can also fit spices, sugar, and other flavorings that come in small containers. Place the cabinets next to your oven for easy access while you prepare food.

2. Drawers That Serve a Purpose

Add drawers of various depths in place of a few kitchen cabinets. Drawers provide space to store smaller items without piling them up in a cabinet. Shallow drawers with organizers offer a home for all of your kitchen utensils, while deep drawers can contain your pots and pans. If you have extra space in the back of drawers, store items you don’t use every day, such as a food scale.

3. Use Every Inch

Finding useful nooks and crannies to store items can keep your kitchen clutter-free. The space above your fridge, for example, is ideal for storing larger items you don’t use often, such as a blender. Floating shelves can store extra dinnerware or fine china, and installing racks over cabinet doors provides a spot to hang your towels.
