If you are working with a remodeling contractor to revamp your kitchen, you’ll want to make sure there’s room for everything you own. Pots and pans can get cluttered inside cabinets, but a few simple modifications will give them places to live. To help you make the most of your new space, here are a few ideas for how to store your cooking utensils. 

4 Storage Ideas for Pots & Pans

1. Hanging Above or Below an Island

Add a hanging rack above your kitchen island. Use this to keep pots and pans within eyesight but out of the way. If a cook in your household has a hard time reaching that high, add s-hooks for hanging items below the island countertop instead. 

2. Open Shelving 

Pots and pans can become unorganized and unstable when you pile them up inside your cabinets. Switching to open shelving will eliminate this problem. Not only will you be able to see where everything is, but you can also design the shelves to be exactly the width you need. Seeing all of your belongings may even encourage you to stay neat.

3. Corner Cabinets

A lazy Susan or wire rack will turn that deep corner cabinet in your kitchen into a useful storage space. Talk to your remodeling contractor about rotating shelf options or ones that pull outward. This will allow you to see everything in your cabinet, maximizing your usage of its natural depth and reducing the clutter common in this area. 

​​​​​​​4. Pantry Pegboards

If you have a pantry, a simple pegboard can be a great solution for keeping pots and pans out of the way. A few pegboards on the back of the door or a wall will give you places to hang skillets, spatulas, and even your favorite apron.
