Whether you're working with a small space or just want a more organized kitchen, smart storage can transform the way you cook, clean, and live in your home. During a renovation, it’s the perfect time to think beyond cabinets and get creative with your kitchen layout.

Here are some top storage solutions to consider in your next remodel:

1. Pull-Out Pantry Shelves

Traditional pantries can turn into deep, cluttered black holes. Pull-out shelves bring everything to you,  no more digging behind the olive oil to find the quinoa.

Why it works: Maximizes narrow spaces and keeps dry goods visible and accessible.

2. Deep Drawers for Pots and Pans

Skip the standard lower cabinets. Deep drawers make it easier to grab heavy pots, pans, and even small appliances without crouching or stacking.

Pro tip: Add peg organizers or soft-close features to keep things secure and quiet.

3. Vertical Tray Storage

Tired of stacking cutting boards and baking sheets? Install a vertical divider cabinet to store trays, pans, and lids upright.

Bonus: It keeps items from warping or scratching over time.

4. Corner Cabinet Solutions

Lazy Susans have come a long way. Today’s corner storage includes pull-out shelves, swing trays, and blind-corner pull systems that give new life to awkward nooks.

5. Appliance Garages

Want to keep your toaster and coffee maker but hate the cluttered look? Appliance garages are built-in cabinets with roll-up or retractable doors that hide small appliances while keeping them accessible.

6. Toe-Kick Drawers

The space beneath your cabinets often goes unused. Toe-kick drawers turn that dead zone into hidden storage for flat items like trays, linens, or extra baking pans.

7. Overhead Open Shelving

Open shelves add style and function. Use them for everyday dishes, cookbooks, or decorative pieces, and keep your closed cabinets for less attractive essentials.

Note: Keep it tidy. Open shelves can quickly go from “chic” to “cluttered.”

8. Built-In Spice Racks

Whether you love to cook or just want to avoid rummaging for paprika, built-in spice racks in cabinet doors or narrow pull-outs are a game-changer.
