A well-organized kitchen isn’t just about sleek countertops and beautiful finishes; it’s about smart, functional cabinetry that works for you. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel or just looking to optimize your space, we’ve got the inside scoop on the must-have extras to add to your kitchen cabinetry.
1. Pull-Out Shelves for Easy Access
Say goodbye to rummaging through deep cabinets! Pull-out shelves are a game-changer for lower cabinets, allowing you to effortlessly access pots, pans, and pantry items. These shelves glide out smoothly, giving you a clear view and easy reach to everything stored inside.
2. Lazy Susans/ Super Susans & Lemans: Corner Cabinet Savior
Maximize those tricky corner cabinets with a Lazy Susan, Super Susan and Lemans. These shelf solution makes it easy to store and retrieve items that would otherwise be lost in the back of the cabinet. Perfect for storing spices, small appliances, or even pots and pans.
3. Integrated Trash and Recycling Bins
Keep your kitchen looking tidy by incorporating pull-out trash and recycling bins into your cabinetry. This not only hides unsightly bins but also makes waste disposal more convenient while keeping everything within arm’s reach.
4. Built-In Spice Racks
Avoid the clutter of spice jars on your countertop by installing a built-in spice rack within a cabinet or drawer. This ensures your spices are organized, easily accessible, and keeps your kitchen looking streamlined.
5. Drawer Dividers for Utensils and Cutlery
Tame the chaos of your utensil drawer with custom dividers. These keep your cutlery, cooking utensils, and small gadgets neatly arranged, saving you time and frustration during meal prep.
6. Vertical Tray Dividers
Store baking sheets, cutting boards, and trays vertically with dividers inside your cabinets. This simple addition prevents stacking and makes it easy to grab what you need without disturbing the rest of your kitchenware.
7. Under-Sink Organization
The under-sink cabinet often becomes a catch-all for cleaning supplies. Optimize this space with pull-out organizers or caddies that can hold everything from dish soap to sponges, ensuring a clutter-free and accessible area.
8. Appliance Garages
Tuck away small appliances like toasters, blenders, and coffee makers in a designated cabinet with an appliance garage. This keeps your countertops clear while ensuring that these everyday items are always within reach.
9. Roll-Out Pantry
If you’re short on space, a roll-out pantry could be the perfect solution. These tall, narrow cabinets with shelves that roll out give you ample storage for pantry items without taking up much room in your kitchen.
10. Soft-Close Hinges and Drawer Slides
Last but not least, consider upgrading to soft-close hinges and drawer slides. These ensure your cabinets and drawers close smoothly and quietly every time, adding a touch of luxury and prolonging the life of your cabinetry.
