Your options for storage solutions include:
Shelves
-
Look to different interior
shelving options for easy-access in hard-to reach places:
-
Vertical pullout units
-
Rollout shelves
-
Foldout banks of shelves
-
Swingout shelves
-
Gain storage space with narrow,
4-inch-to-10-inch wide slide-in shelves that look like posts when they’re
pushed in. They can give you extra room without taking up whole sections
of the cabinets, holding spices, soups, and more.
-
Put away plates with ease with
open shelving—a great way to add color and personality to your kitchen.
Also, since upper cabinet open shelving tends to be more recessed than
low-hanging boxes, you’ll end up with a more open workspace.
-
Turn an awkward corner into a
valuable storage spot with a lazy Susan. Many shelving manufacturers offer
accessories to make access even easier, like pie-shaped bins and
slideouts.
Baskets
-
Add visual depth and interest
with pullout wicker baskets and under-the-sink pullout wire baskets—ideal
ways to store linens, cleaners, or vegetables, depending on their location.
Bins
Drawers
-
Consider using drawers instead
of shelving for your base cabinets.
-
Don’t only equate drawer
storage with cabinetry. Many appliances, including refrigerators, wine
chillers, and dishwashers, now come as drawer units. Store milk and juice
next to your breakfast nook or place frequently used items in a
refrigerator drawer beneath your workspace.
-
Keep what you use where you
use it. A large drawer under a cooktop is an ideal place for pots and
pans.
-
Use dividers for simplified
retrieval:
-
Cutlery compartments
-
Spice drawers
-
Utensil dividers
