5 Storage Ideas for Small Kitchens

9/13/2018

Not all homes are blessed with large spacious kitchens. If your kitchen lacks square footage, there are still plenty of ways you can maximize your space and satisfy your storage needs. Here are five great ways to add storage to your small kitchen.

1. Add shelving under your island countertop. Whether you have a true island or a peninsula, look to see if you have room to add a shelf. This makes a great space to store things like plates, placemats, and other table setting items.

2. Add cubbies around your kitchen entrance.​ With this idea, you can turn the typically wasted narrow space into useful storage. The narrow cubbies are excellent for vases, cookbooks, and more.

3. Install toekick drawers. No matter how big or small your kitchen is, toekick drawers are an absolute must. They transform previously unused space into the perfect storage for a short stack of pans, cookie sheets, linens, or pantry items.

4. Build a pantry between the studs.​ If you don't have space to build out, build in. With a small kitchen, adding cabinetry can make the area feel crowded, however, utilizing the space between studs can be just the answer. Pantry built-ins are great for spices, tea boxes, and other smaller items.

5. Utilize the space above your refrigerator. Too often the space about refrigerators either goes unused, or it's horribly unorganized. Adding shelving above your refrigerator can be just the answer for your larger items like pots, cutting boards, etc.
