How a Kitchen Renovation Can Increase Your Storage Space
You can never have too many storage solutions in a well-designed kitchen, especially with many cookware and culinary gadgets. So it’s essential to get creative and strategically utilize every inch of space.
With so many options for kitchen organization, you can easily maximize the space for ultimate efficiency. Take a look…
1. Extend Kitchen Cabinets Vertically
Gone are the days of the unused soffit space above minuscule cabinets. Extending cabinets vertically up to the ceiling is on trend with the added benefit of making the room look larger. It also creates storage for seldom-used items like holiday dishes or unique appliances.
2. Transition Spaces with Specialty Built-Ins
While making plans to renovate your kitchen, consider adding a wet bar or coffee station in an adjoining space. This creates a nice transition from the living space and acts as an extension of the kitchen. You can customize these spaces with shelves or pull-outs to store glasses or display appliances within easy reach.
3. Reconfigure for an Island with Storage
Reconfiguring the kitchen to accommodate a large island is a smart solution for cozy seating and meal preparation. An island is a perfect area to place appliances for easy access, such as the microwave, ice machine, or wine chiller. Including cabinetry around the island for optimized storage.
Bonus: Opt for Deep Drawers
Selecting deep drawers instead of doors for lower cabinets is a wonderful storage saver. Make sure to specify drawers that fully extend so you can easily access items in the back.
Applying these storage solutions will enhance your kitchen and lifestyle. Thinking through your kitchen storage plan is essential to creating a functional kitchen for you and your family.
