If you have a smaller kitchen, you might often feel like you can’t find a place to put anything. This is a common conundrum and a frequent target of remodeling plans. Your kitchen design can never have too much storage, but with a more restricted space, it’s necessary to get creative. Here are some ideas to inspire space management solutions.

4 Ways to Add More Storage to Your Kitchen Design

1. Cabinets to the Ceiling

If your cabinets don’t go all the way up to the ceiling, you’re missing out on valuable storage space. Even if you wouldn’t be able to quickly reach the top levels of these cabinets, you can reserve the space for appliances and containers you rarely use. A juicer or a panini press might be best stored a little higher than daily items that need prime real estate.

2. Pull-Out Cabinets

Pull-out cabinets let you store far more in your existing space than you probably thought possible. When you open your drawer or cabinet, it will reveal several pull-out trays where you can store dishes, silverware, and spices. If your kitchen is a tight fit, this is an easy, low-cost solution.

If you think the kitchen island is only there to create more prep area or a casual dining space, think again. It’s taking up room in your kitchen, so it should offer some storage.

Install cabinets below your island. Include doors on all sides, even where your bar stools are, so it’s easy to access what you’re looking for instead of having to dig your way to the back of a shelf.

4. Open Shelves

Open shelves float on your wall above your sink and allow you to have some extra space for whatever you need close at hand. They’re inexpensive to put in and can look classy and attractive. Make sure you keep everything on the shelves tidy, or else the mess will give the whole kitchen a cluttered feel.
