Smart Storage: Our Best Kitchen Organization Tips

The best and most effective way to optimize your kitchen cabinet space is to compartmentalize, which makes it easy to find what you are looking for. Consider the following elements: 

• Adjustable shelves
• An assortment of plastic compartments and racks to create storage layers
• A rotating platform under a corner cabinet
• Hooks to hang utensils and cutting boards inside cabinet doors
• Sliding drawers for easy access to items at the very back of deep cabinets
• Dividers for cutting boards, platters and pot lids that can be stored vertically
• Pull-out trash cans to store the garbage bin and recycling box under the sink

You can use the inside of cabinet doors! Install supports to hang tea and hand towels and store cleaning products, brushes, washcloths, etc.

There are many ways to improve organization and free up space thanks to kitchen appliances and small appliances: 

1. Choose models that offer storage space. For example, an oven with a storage drawer is perfect for keeping baking sheets, muffin tins, or even pots and pans.
2. Pay attention to the capacity. There are tons of large-capacity models to choose from.
3. Go for compact models. You can find standard-depth fridges in counter-depth designs!
4. Select a fridge design that meets your needs. Twin-door and 4-door keep food in easy reach and can be good in tight spaces. Remember that full-width doors need ample space to open!
5. Pick a large-capacity dishwasher. To avoid piles of dirty dishes on your counter, pick a dishwasher with convenient options such as adjustable racks and a third rack (dedicated to cutlery, utensils, and chef’s tools).
6. Consider a 2-in-1 model. There are over-the-range microwave ovens that free up counter space, blenders that blend and cook, systems that offer the versatility of a blender, food processor, and dough mixer in one.
7. Don’t forget wine storage. We have racks and cabinets to complement any style, but also convenient and trendy undercounter wine cellars!
