If you have a kitchen island, consider utilizing a few top drawers for cutlery and cutting boards. You can also use a knife block for easy selection when it’s time to prep food.
Simple shelving is affordable to make and relatively easy to install. Hang a shelf under your cupboards to easily store mugs, dishes, or spices. You can paint them or leave them untreated for natural appeal, which is particularly useful for farmhouse or rustic aesthetics.

Are you remodeling or building a new small kitchen? Consider installing a recessed nook with a shelf. This technique gives you extra room to organize without losing square footage.
Consider installing pantry shelves between your cabinets and stovetop if your kitchen has the space. A pantry like this is sleek and attractive and can be painted to blend right in with your other kitchen cupboards. You can use your pantry to store bulk items or shelf-stable goods.
Are you working with a minimalist kitchen? Consider opting for efficient cabinets with flush handles. Consider a natural wood material to add warmth to a monochromatic interior.
A stovetop nook is a common kitchen feature, with cupboards on each side of the stovetop. Install wall-mounted shelves for additional storage. You can keep dishes or cookware on these shelves for easy access while preparing food.
Consider installing your appliances in the island to maximize space and efficiency. Many island designs now include spaces for ovens and range tops, as well as wine coolers and an extra sink.

If you wish to have a streamlined and functional space around your kitchen sink, consider installing chrome soap dispensers or sidesprays. You can even install lotion and hand soap dispensers to keep those bulky bottles off your counter.
While organization and de-cluttering are important, so are convenience and efficiency. Keep cooking oils, spice shakers, and utensils on your kitchen counter with storage dishes and trays. Add touches of nature with small succulents or flowers for a delightful experience.
Use dishes like bowls and cake stands to keep fruit, bread, and pastries within sight. This can add decorative flair and serve as a visual reminder to grab a readily-available snack.

This idea maximizes square footage by keeping your refrigerator flush with your cabinetry. Choose a high-shine stainless steel fridge for a sleek, modern statement.
