5 Nifty Kitchen Storage Solutions for Small Kitchens

5 Nifty Kitchen Storage Solutions for Small Kitchens

Kitchen storage is one of the pressing needs and dreaded challenges of nearly every modern kitchen. No matter what size of your kitchen is, you tend to run out of adequate storage space as stuff gets accumulated over the time. Thankfully, the solutions are just a few great ideas away. In this kitchen storage guide, let’s explore some of the unknown kitchen storage solutions in your kitchen.

Use Slender Pullouts in Tricky Places

Almost all modern kitchens install pull-out base cabinets. However, only a few know how to make the best use of the pull-out shelving. A slender pullout can be a great idea to seal the gap between your cooking range and the counters, allowing you ample storage space for small kitchen items such as linens. Even better, you can install a pull-out organizer for small items like cutlery and kitchen knives.

Create a Pet-Friendly Kitchen with Toe-Kick Drawers

As more and more kitchens become pet-friendly, the need for storing pet gear and pet food is increasing. Given that many homeowners struggle to find storage space for their existing pantry and appliances, the idea of creating storage space for the pet may sound absurd to some.

However, it’s not.

The cabinet toe-kick area, one of the underused areas in every kitchen, offers adequate storage space for a pet food drawer. You can always hide the drawer when it’s not in use, meaning no sacrifice in your existing kitchen storage.

Make the Most of Your Kitchen Corners

The kitchen corners are some of the most underused (even wasted) storage spaces in almost every kitchen. If your kitchen remodeling budget allows, you can invest in custom corner cabinets that feature Lazy Susans. While Lazy Susans don’t really expand your storage space, they definitely make the dead corners more accessible.

Add A Freestanding Pantry Cabinet If Your Space Allows

The pantry is an indispensable part of every kitchen. While a walk-in pantry is a desirable yet expensive option, corner pantry is a great solution for small kitchens. On the other hand, a freestanding pantry cabinet is quite effective for those who have extra space for a dedicated pantry cabinet but not enough budget for it. It’s not only affordable but relocatable as well.

However, if your kitchen is too small for a dedicated pantry cabinet, you could try these alternative pantry storage solutions.

Look Beyond the Kitchen for A Walk-in Pantry

As mentioned previously, a dedicated walk-in pantry is most homeowners would desire but not many of them have space or budget for. However, if you have adjacent room, you could borrow a small space in it and turn it into your pantry to store food, dishes and small appliances.

Final Thoughts

As your kitchen evolves over the time, so do your storage needs. It’s always recommended that you should periodically assess the existing storage solutions and kitchen items to see if you could get rid of unwanted ones for a minimalist kitchen design. As you long as you keep your kitchen updated, you will continue to find to explore new kitchen storage solutions.
