While stainless steel appliances, luxurious natural stone or quartz countertops, and stunning tile work tend to take center stage in our kitchen remodeling dreams, there is much more to a kitchen underneath the surface. Every home cook appreciates a well-organized kitchen for faster prep time and easy access to essentials when entertaining. If you’re thinking about giving your kitchen a fresh start this New Year, give these seven innovative kitchen storage ideas a try.
1. Tiered K-Cup Coffee/Tea Organizer Drawers
Do you find yourself fumbling around with your coffee/tea supplies in the morning? Custom tiered K-Cup drawers (pictured) are a smart solution for storing your single-serving hot beverages. The second tier features space for creamer and other fixings so you can enjoy an authentically luxurious coffee house feel. |

2. Double Waste Container Pullouts
These handy pullout organizers are easy to open, and keep trash and recycling cans in a convenient spot while keeping them out of sight. The second trashcan could be used for dog food or other recyclables. For optimal function, install them near the sink and food prep areas but not under the sink, as that space is usually reserved for the plumbing and garbage disposal.3. Cookware Organizer
Organize all of your clunky pots and pans – and their lids – in a sturdy pullout drawer, with lid and pot dividers available to add. Not only do these offer a convenient place to store larger volumes of cookware, they also prevent dust from collecting on them and keep your stovetop clear.4. Base Cabinet Pullout Storage/Knife Organizers
A popular trend in kitchen storage, custom pullout organizers (pictured) are handy for storing knives, utensils, spoons, scissors, storage containers, and anything else you can imagine. They can be incorporated into a new kitchen remodeling design, or installed later in an existing kitchen. |

5. Pull-Down Shelving System
No more need to climb on countertops or fetch your stepstool to reach your topmost cabinet items, such as medicines, pet items, spices or essential oils. A pull-down shelving system (pictured) will smoothly and easily lower them to your level. |

6. Spice Rack Pullout Organizer
Keep your spices organized once and for all with a pullout cabinet organizer. Incorporate this little gem into your kitchen even more affordably than many popular DIY spice organization tips. Are you a cook with spices galore? Use multiple pullouts to make room for all of your beloved cooking essentials. Spice organizers are also available in a drawer.7. Blind Corner Lazy Susan
If you’ve ever found yourself crawling in your corner cabinet to access hard-to-reach items, you have a blind corner. The ability to reach every square inch inside your kitchen cabinets is essential to a well-designed kitchen. And what better way to accomplish that than with a Lazy Susan? These timeless favorites just keep getting better. Use these handy pivot shelves to make occasionally used items like waffle makers, food processors, and holiday serving dishes more accessible, or keep bulky items within easy grasp. Another useful option for this corner is a 3 bin rotating trash organizer, instead of a pivoting shelf. Options are endless.A beautiful kitchen begins with smart storage solutions designed for the way you live.
