Kitchen Cabinets: 7 Storage Accessories You Can't Live Without

Ron Nanberg | Thu, Jun 13, 2013 | Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen cabinets are an essential component of any kitchen, but they can be difficult to keep organized. Storage accessories that are both practical and attractive are an excellent way to create an element of functional elegance in your home’s kitchen cabinets.

Kitchen Cabinet Drawer OrganizerDrawer inserts

If your kitchen cabinets’ drawers are cluttered, it may be time to consider installing drawer inserts. These can take a number of forms. For example, an in-drawer knife block crafted from wood can do wonders for saving countertop space and maintaining your knives’ sharp blades. Another excellent option to consider is an in-drawer modular organization system that you can customize to fit a variety of kitchen utensils.

Appliance garage

A popular way to reduce unsightly clutter in kitchen cabinets is to install an appliance garage, which will save space and can take a number of different forms. Appliance garages have a wide range of available door sizes and whatever option you choose will create a clean, streamlined look in your kitchen.

Kitchen Cabinet Spice RackPullout spice and oil rack

A pullout spice and oil rack is a feature in kitchen cabinets that will save precious counter space as well. As with other storage accessories, a pullout spice and oil rack will remain hidden from sight until you need to remove the spices or oils that you have stored there.

Corner cabinet Lazy Susan

Many people regard corner kitchen cabinets as a problem rather than an opportunity for better storage and organization. The classic corner cabinet Lazy Susan is a wonderful way to make good use of valuable corner space in your kitchen.

Built-in trashcans

Kitchen trash and recycling is one of the most unsightly aspects of a kitchen, but it doesn’t have to be that way. A built-in trashcan is hidden from sight and takes the form of your much more tasteful kitchen cabinets. Even better: consider the addition of a slot beside the trashcan for storing trash bags.

Vertical dividers for cookie sheets and cutting boards

Rather than storing your cookie sheets and cutting boards horizontally where they will waste space, consider using vertical dividers. You can install these inside your kitchen cabinets for easy access and storage.

Pantry with pullout drawers

If your ingredients are disappearing into the back of the pantry, pullout drawers may be a better option. With pullout drawers in your pantry, you can avoid bending over backwards to reach into the depths of your kitchen cabinets.
