3 Ways to Improve Storage During a Kitchen Reno

Improving your kitchen storage during a renovation is a strategic endeavor. There is a lot to consider from cabinetry, specialty built-ins, and drawers when making the best use of your space. For example, in my kitchen, I only have lower cabinet drawers, and I have ample storage.

I want to make sure you know the best ways to improve your kitchen storage. So today, I’m sharing my top 3 ways to increase your storage during a kitchen renovation… 

1. Kitchen Cabinets and Molding Touch the Ceiling

Always take upper cabinets to the ceiling and have the molding touch the ceiling. This creates a seamless, built-in look that draws the eye upwards and makes the room appear taller than if you had shorter cabinets with disconnected molding. 

2. Double Sinks

I love adding two kitchen sinks to every design, even if it's a micro bar sink in the island. That way, you can cook unimpeded, and children and guests can help themselves to handwash and water refills out of your way. 

3. Increase Island Storage

I love adding cabinetry on both sides of the island. This increases storage space tremendously, even if one side of the island is for counter seating. The cabinetry behind stools can be used for specialty storage for serving pieces that are occasional use. They are out of your way for daily use but easily accessible when you have guests. 

Bonus: Storage Tip

All of my kitchen cabinets, except the sink cabinet, are drawers. It is so much easier to pull open a drawer and view all of the contents than to open a door and search for items at the back of the shelves.

Let's set up a consultation to discuss how we can increase the functional storage in your kitchen. Having everything in its place and a place for everything makes your life a whole lot simpler.
