For many, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Families and friends spend a lot of time in this room. Whether a meal is being prepared or shared, there always seems to be something going on in the kitchen. This room is also a main place of storage in the home. Pots, pans, cleaning supplies, appliances, dry food, utensils, knick-knacks, and more all need a place in the kitchen. All these things need a proper place, but they don’t just have to be tossed into a cabinet. If you’re looking to build a new home or remodel your kitchen, you can design unique ways to store all your kitchen-related belongings.

When designing storage solutions for your kitchen, you can design ideas that are functional and space-saving or ideas that are aesthetically wonderful, or both. At Luxury Home Designs, we will work with you to create creative and practical storage solutions for you to have an optimally-organized kitchen. Below, we wanted to share some clever and unique ideas of ways you can organize your odds and ends in one of the most important rooms in your home.

• Install shelf organizers into cabinets so you can easily organize small items and other appliances.
• For a more open look, opt for shelves instead of cabinets in certain areas around the kitchen. On these shelves, you can place decorations, plates, or pretty baskets to hold items.
• Like wine? Build a wine cabinet into the side of your island or above the fridge.
• Hide your trash and recycling in a cabinet with multiple bins. Design a pull-out cabinet where you can easily throw out items, and easily remove them come trash day.
• Install a disk rack into a lower cabinet drawer to keep pot lids organized.
• Install a closet system in your pantry to make organizing all your food a breeze!
• Build a deep bowl into the kitchen island to keep easy-to-grab fruit.
• Opt for built-in knives on a part of your island that you dedicate as a butcher’s block.
• Install roll out shelves for easy access for cleaning or art supplies.
• If you hate lifting plates from a high cabinet, put them in a lower drawer in a peg system to separate the dishes.
• Build a narrow pull out cabinet to store dish soap, towels, and sponges next to the sink.
• If you like a large island, it is a great spot to build in lots of deep draws, shelves, and cabinets.
