Organize That Kitchen!

Kitchens see the most traffic and use of any of the rooms in your home. So, obviously, it would serve you best if your kitchen were organized with enough storage space. When you take the plunge and tackle a full kitchen renovation, keep every detail in mind. Sure, include lots of cabinets. But spend some time and really think through how little details can make your new kitchen yours. Here are a few ideas I’ve come across and fell in love with. Enjoy.

Don’t be afraid to use hooks for storage if you find yourself short on cabinet real estate. Include a colored wall to liven up your space. 

Do you have limited counter space and or don’t want to display your fifteen appliances all the time? A swinging or sliding shelf is a great way to allow use or access without having to drag a heavy mixer from a cabinet the few times you actually use it. 

Those sponges that are so ugly now have a convenient hiding spot!  Stainless is always a great material for the kitchen too! easy to clean doesn't rust and looks great!

 

Underneath most sinks is a pile of cleaning supplies. I love this idea as a way to organize and again allow access to the entirety of the space. Installing a “U” shaped drawer will help you keep this nice and neat. 

Finding a way to use otherwise wasted space is a necessity in some kitchens. By installing a toe-kick drawer you can store flat items that you may not use often. 

I’ve always hated corner cabinets since my reach is limited. I basically have to crawl into the thing to get items from the back. Very inconvenient to store stuff you use often. These are a fantastic solution as they allow access and visibility to everything.
