Smart Storage Tips for your Kitchen

Smarter on the inside
A brand new kitchen may look the same as the one you have, but act totally different. Improving the inside functionality is the difference between finding the garlic press while the oil is hot or interrupting your cooking to tear through your drawers.

Specialized inserts make
your frequently-used items
ready to go when you are.
Change to pull-out larders 
You don’t have to empty your cabinet to get
the bowl in the back. Replace your old cabinet shelves with pull-out larders or drawers. They provide a better overview and make reaching way into the back a thing of the past.


 








A place for everything, and
everything in its place.
Organize the drawers
Always pulling out the corkscrew when you’re reaching for the whisk? Drawer organizers keep everything from plates to chopsticks orderly and easy-to-find.







Less digging, less reaching --
what you need close at hand.
Use clear containers
Organize your drawers and cabinets with transparent containers. They maximize space and provide a quick overview. Fit containers together sideways or stacked, and watch how unruly packages of rice, flour and beans line up and behave.





Clearer on the Outside
Crowded countertops, messy cookbooks and piles of stuff make a dream kitchen a nightmare to work in. Extra workspace and storage solutions put everything in order again and give you more space to cook.
Close at hand, but off the counter!
De-clutter the countertop
Get more countertop-space by hanging utensils, herbs, and more on the wall. A wall-hanging system gives you more room to chop, and puts the things you use most in easy reach.






Added surface for prep, and also
convenient clean-up
Extend your workspace
Where should you put the mushrooms while you chop the onions? A fitted tray or chopping board over the sink gives you an extra drop-off zone and more workspace.







Prductive use for empty space,
and a nice place to display
showier pieces.
Add open shelving
It’s easy to get stuck thinking about cabinet space. But adding open shelving is a way to maximizes empty walls and corners, while giving the kitchen an airy feeling. Shelves and brackets can be placed almost anywhere, and the length can be varied to accommodate your space and storage needs.
