Finding enough storage space in your kitchen can be a challenge. No matter how many times you arrange and rearrange your cabinets, there never seems to be enough space to store everything you need. When you install new cabinets, maximizing storage space is one of your top priorities. Our team at RP Pro Contracting has a lot of experience with cabinet installation in NH, so we have some suggestions for useful features you can add to your kitchen cabinets to make the most of your space.
Are you installing new kitchen cabinets? Here are some useful features to make your kitchen more organized and functional.
Store Pots and Pans in Deep Drawers
Often, we store pots and pans in a cabinet underneath the counter. But it can be challenging to crouch down and reach to the back of the cabinet to get at the pot or pan you need. A solution to this problem is to replace some of these lower cabinets with deep drawers. A deep drawer has just as much space as a cabinet, and you can pull it out to easily see and reach what’s inside.
Organize Your Baking Sheets and Cutting Boards
Keeping baking sheets, cutting boards, and serving platters organized is an ongoing struggle in many kitchens. If you try to stand them upright, they slide down or fall over. But if you stack them on top of each other, it’s hard to pull them from the bottom of the pile. We have a solution: vertical dividers in your cabinet. The dividers don’t allow enough space for your sheets, trays, and cutting boards to slide down, and you can organize them by type to quickly find what you’re looking for.
Save Counter Space with Pull-Outs
No one likes to have cluttered kitchen counters, but sometimes, you don’t have a great place to keep items you need to access quickly. Narrow pull-outs are a great way to save space on your counter and still keep your items organized and easily accessible. Spices, oils, and condiments are common in this type of cabinet or drawer, but you can also use them for kitchen utensils. Rather than have a canister of spoons and spatulas on the counter, install a pull-out by the stove. You’ll be able to grab what you need while you’re cooking while keeping your counter clear.
