Here’s How to Increase the Storage & Functionality of Your Kitchen

Adequate storage is essential for maintaining a smooth-running kitchen. It will also help keep your kitchen looking great and ready to receive visitors at a moment’s notice. From cabinets and shelves to kitchen carts and islands, here’s how to get the most storage out of your kitchen space.
Kitchen Cabinets
If you live in an older home, your original kitchen storage cabinets may not be as useful as they could be. Replacement could be the answer to achieving an optimized space that matches your home’s existing decor. There are several options available.
Requiring a little time on your part, these cabinets are also easy to install. Manufacturers usually provide a choice of door styles.
Delivered to your door in parts and boxed for easy identification
Simple-to-follow instructions are usually included
Require joining the cabinet box pieces and attaching doors & hardware
Wide range of styles available at multiple price points

Shelving to Suit Your Particular Kitchen
Every kitchen requires shelving – usually the more the better. The type of shelving will depend on the size and layout of your space. Here are a couple of practical options.



Slide-Out Waste Bins
A waste bin hidden in the sink cabinet keeps your kitchen looking neat and tidy. A slide-out bin makes it easily accessible. There are three types of slide-out garbage bins available and all are fairly easy to install.
Pivoting Bin
The pivoting bin can be mounted on the cabinet door and works in both frameless and face-framed cabinets.
Sliding Bin
The sliding bin mounts on a slide-out assembly installed on the floor of the cabinet.
Inside Drawer Bin
If you have a lower large drawer in your kitchen, you can install one or two waste bins inside. Perhaps one for garbage and one for recycling.
