Our 13 Best Kitchen Storage and Organizing Tips
Looking for ways to keep your kitchen organized and functional? Kitchenland gathered 13 clever ideas to help you store everything from everyday essentials to items you use less frequently. At Kitchenland, we offer a wide range of practical and stylish cabinets and design solutions to maximize your space and elevate the overall look of your kitchen.
Whether you’re working with a small, medium, or large kitchen, the right cabinetry can make all the difference. For smaller spaces, focus on efficiency by adding only what you need for daily use. Larger kitchens give you the flexibility to explore endless storage solutions without sacrificing functionality.
1. Pantry Storage
Kitchenland’s tall pantry cabinets provide versatile storage, perfect for kitchens without dedicated pantries. Available in varying widths and heights, these cabinets offer 24″ deep shelving and the option for full-depth roll-out shelves, making it easy to access items. They’re also adaptable for use in other areas like laundry rooms or bathrooms for storing linens or cleaning supplies.
2. Upper Cabinets
Maximize your vertical storage with upper cabinets from Kitchenland, available in three heights: 30″, 36″, and 42″. Taller cabinets allow for more storage, especially when extended to the ceiling with crown molding, eliminating dust-collecting gaps. These upper shelves are perfect for storing special occasion dishes and other rarely used items.
3. Recycling and Waste Storage
No one likes a trash can out in the open. Kitchenland’s pull-out waste storage solutions fit into base cabinets as small as 15“, keeping your kitchen clutter-free and odor-free. Options include configurations for one or two 35-quart trash cans, perfect for managing both trash and recycling. Conveniently place them near your sink or prep area for easy access while cooking.
4. Tip-Out Trays
Those faux drawers under your sink don’t have to go to waste! By installing a tip-out tray, you can convert these into handy storage spaces for sponges, brushes, and other small items. Available in multiple sizes to fit 30″, 33″, or 36″ sink bases, this is a simple yet effective solution to keep your counters clear of clutter.
5. Tray Dividers
Flat kitchen items like baking sheets and cutting boards are often hard to store. Kitchenland’s tray dividers can be installed in base cabinets or above appliances to keep them organized and easy to access. These heavy-gauge chrome dividers keep your kitchen essentials tidy and ready to use.
6. Drawer Base Cabinets
For easy access to heavier items, consider drawer base cabinets. Kitchenland’s deep drawer designs, equipped with peg systems, allow for organized storage of dishes, pots, and pans. These pull-out drawers provide a more functional alternative to traditional base cabinets with half-depth shelving, making it easier to lift items out rather than reaching in.
7. Island Storage
Adding an island is an excellent way to increase storage without disrupting your open-concept kitchen. At Kitchenland, we help you design the perfect island, complete with additional storage, seating, or even shelving at the ends for a unique look. No matter the size of your kitchen, a custom island can serve as both a functional workspace and a stylish centerpiece.
8. Spice Storage
Keep your spices neatly organized and within reach with Kitchenland’s in-cabinet spice pullouts or drawer organizers. Designed for small cabinets or fillers, these pullouts include adjustable shelving to fit both short and tall spice jars. If drawer space is more your style, our trimmable drawer organizers make it easy to arrange spices in a way that suits your cooking needs.
9. Floating Shelves
For those who prefer a minimalist design, floating shelves are a great alternative to upper cabinets. Available in various sizes and finishes to match your kitchen’s aesthetic, Kitchenland’s floating shelves are an ideal choice for modern or small spaces, adding a sleek, open feel to your kitchen.
10. Utensil Organizers
No more messy drawers! Keep your utensils neatly organized with a trimmable cutlery tray or a pull-out organizer for larger items. Kitchenland offers utensil pullouts featuring cylindrical buckets, perfect for storing spatulas, wooden spoons, and other tools right by your cooking surface.
11. Pot and Pan Storage
Say goodbye to stacking pots and pans. Kitchenland’s glide-out pot and pan organizers let you hang these kitchen essentials on hooks that glide out from your base cabinet, providing easy access and better organization.
12. Small Appliance Lift
Free up counter space by storing your stand mixer or other small appliances on Kitchenland’s pull-out appliance lift. Compatible with base cabinets, this storage solution features a soft-close mechanism, allowing you to easily access your appliance when needed without sacrificing valuable workspace.
13. Food Container Organizer
Tired of mismatched plastic containers and lids? Kitchenland’s food storage organizers feature adjustable dividers and soft-closing mechanisms, making it simple to keep your containers neat and easy to find.
