Organization Ideas to Expand Your Kitchen Storage

The kitchen is the heart of the home — our favorite spot for cooking, hosting, and much more. However, using your kitchen without proper storage can be frustrating and even chaotic, especially if you have a small kitchen.

Fortunately, the design experts at Willet Construction are here with space-saving tips to maximize your kitchen storage! Enhancing your kitchen and increasing storage is easy with our tips and suggestions. Here’s a look at several storage ideas you can include in your kitchen remodel to increase space.

Easy Ways To Save Space In Your Kitchen

To increase space in your kitchen, the Willet Construction Remodeling Specialists recommend these storage and design options:

Install a Kitchen Island

Kitchen islands are popular as they provide a place to sit, eat, and prepare food. They also function as storage spaces. Kitchen islands offer a large counter space, cabinets, and drawers, perfect for storing kitchen utensils and dishware.

Use Pegboards for Wall Storage

Pegboards are a stylish and affordable way to display your pots, pans, and utensils. These wall fixtures are a versatile storage solution with a touch of rustic charm, ideal for areas too small or narrow for upper cabinets.

Divide Cabinets for Better Organization

Cabinet dividers maximize space in cabinets and drawers. When you choose a two-tier divider for your utensil drawer, you can instantly double your utensil storage space. When placed into an open cabinet, dividers provide effortless reach for awkward and bulky sheet pans, platters, cutting boards, and trays.

Incorporate Pull-Out Pantry Shelves

If you find reaching the items in the back of your pantry difficult, we suggest pull-out pantry shelves. These sleek shelves maximize pantry space while making reaching items in the back easier. They’re a simple update with big benefits, helping you locate and organize items with minimal effort.

Install Overhead Pot Racks

If you cook a lot and need quick access to your pots and pans, overhead pot racks are a great option. These racks free up space on your counters and cabinets while making your pots and pans easier to access. Overhead pot racks also add charm to your kitchen.

Add Drawer Organizers

Do you need better storage in your kitchen drawers? Built-in drawer organizers can help you organize utensils, spices, and other small items. Declutter your drawers with this simple storage solution.

Use Under-Cabinet Storage Solutions

With under-cabinet storage solutions like hooks, racks, or pull-down shelves, you can organize your cabinets and increase space. Hooks can hang pots, oven mitts, or utensils, while racks are beneficial for storing plates or cooking utensils.

Consider Floor-to-Ceiling Cabinets

Floor-to-ceiling cabinets are a bold and stylish choice for any kitchen. They’re also one of the most effective ways to increase storage. By extending your cabinets, you’re adding several feet of space to your kitchen. Consider floor-to-ceiling cabinets in your kitchen remodel for increased storage capacity.

Add a Pull-Out Cutting Board

Cutting boards can take up a lot of space on your counters. Installing a cabinet with a pull-out cutting board is an instant way to free up space and make your counters less cluttered.

Install a Lazy Susan in Corner Cabinets

A Lazy Susan is a rotating shelf system. The unit spins so you can easily access the items in the back of your corner cabinet. Lazy Susans transforms awkward corner cabinets into spacious, easy-access storage solutions.
