One of the most common frustrations homeowners have with their kitchen is not enough storage. Cabinets are full, countertops are cluttered, and there is no good place for the things you use every day. A kitchen remodel is the perfect opportunity to fix that.
Pull Out Drawers and Shelves
Deep base cabinets are difficult to use efficiently. Items get pushed to the back and forgotten. Pull out drawers and shelves make the entire depth of the cabinet accessible. They work especially well for pots, pans, baking sheets, and small appliances. At Black Forest Home Improvements, we include pull out solutions in most of our kitchen remodels because they make a noticeable difference in daily use.
Corner Cabinet Solutions
Corner cabinets are notorious dead space. Lazy Susans, pull out corner trays, and blind corner organizers turn that wasted area into usable storage. The right solution depends on the size and configuration of the corner, and we select the option that fits best during the design phase.
Vertical Storage
Tall, narrow spaces between cabinets and walls or next to appliances can be used for pull out pantry organizers. These vertical drawers hold spices, oils, cutting boards, and other items that would otherwise clutter your countertops. They are a simple addition that makes a real impact.
Island Storage
If your remodel includes a kitchen island, the interior of that island is prime storage space. Deep drawers for cookware, open shelving for frequently used items, and built in trash and recycling bins keep the kitchen organized without adding footprint. We design island storage based on what you actually use and where you want things to be accessible.
Pantry Design
A dedicated pantry, even a small one, changes the way a kitchen functions. Walk in pantries work in larger kitchens. For smaller spaces, a floor to ceiling pantry cabinet with adjustable shelving provides significant storage within a compact footprint. We evaluate your kitchen’s layout and recommend the pantry configuration that gives you the most capacity without sacrificing counter or cabinet space elsewhere.
The National Kitchen and Bath Association publishes design guidelines that address kitchen storage planning and efficiency.
