Kitchens serve multiple purposes in your home, and as a result, they tend to accumulate a lot of stuff!
Whether you’ve got limited space or more pots and pans than you know what to do with, these smart storage features will help you find a place for everything.
Vertical Dividers
Whether its chopping boards, baking trays, platters, or cookbooks, vertical dividers are a great way to store your larger kitchen items. Instead of getting stuck at the bottom of a drawer, they’ll be easy to access whenever you need them.
Knife Magnet
If you are looking for a safe and space-saving way to store your kitchen knives, look no further than a kitchen magnet. By mounting your knives on the wall, you’ll save counter space that would otherwise be taken up by a knife block, and you’ll also keep knives well out of the reach of children.
Hanging Racks
Hanging racks are a stylish and practical way to store a host of kitchen items; you can hang pots and pans, spoons, ladles, or even mugs. It’s a great way to display your stylish kitchenware, and it can be placed neatly under a cupboard or cabinet, just an arm’s length away from your workspace.
Corner Drawers
Corners present storage challenges, but there are plenty of innovative options to help you maximize this space. Corner drawers pull out from the corner cupboard so you can retrieve what you need before sliding the drawer back.
Kitchen Pantry
A kitchen pantry is a staple in any kitchen that requires maximum storage. Don’t be afraid to get creative though, you could pick a pull-out kitchen pantry to keep everything neatly tucked away when you aren’t using it. Equally, you might choose to convert an old closet, so you never run out of space.
Island Storage
More and more kitchen updates include an island these days, but kitchen island storage is often overlooked. The island presents many options, whether its deep drawers for pots and pans or a stylish wine rack.
Pocket Doors
Need to store your doors? Well, you can do that too. In smaller kitchens, swinging doors are often a recipe for disaster. With pocket doors, you can open a cupboard door and then have it slide back into the cabinet, to maximize space and add a stylish touch.
Sliding Countertops
It’s not just doors that can slide back to give you more room. Sliding countertops are an ingenious way to get some extra storage where you least expect it. You can keep particular items just under where you need to use them with a sliding countertop.
Drawer Organizers
Drawer organizers are an efficient solution to storing heavier items such as plates and bowls. Deep drawers are great for space but can often get cluttered. Drawer organizers solve that problem by keeping your kitchenware stacked together.
Swing Stool
The kitchen is as much a social hub as it is a workroom. If you are struggling for enough seating, consider a swing stool as an extra seat that can fold away when it’s not in use.
