Maximizing Kitchen Space
A great kitchen is at the heart of every home, and some simple updates can help you to make the most of your space. Whether you’re a Top Chef or a microwave maven, a kitchen that is designed to your needs is key. Evaluate where your kitchen is lacking, whether it’s counter space, storage, functionality, or even in need of an innovative total redesign. These tips can help when space is at a premium.
Cabinets
The cabinets are a major part of your kitchen real estate. Using them wisely can save you lots of time spent searching for things and keep your countertops free of clutter. You may think your cabinet space is set in stone, but if you happen to have a drop ceiling, or cabinets that don’t reach all the way up, there is a lot of room to expand vertically. Simple things like shelf racks and pull outs can double your usable space. A good tip is to always group similarly shaped items together, such as lids, which can get in the way if they are jumbled in with other items.
Smart Storage Accessories
Specialty products and accessories can also save you space in a cramped kitchen. Invest in a hanging pot rack which will free up a lot of storage room, and it just looks cool! Installing hanging spice racks and other utility items from the wall or backsplash can also make cooking more convenient while saving space at the same time.

Drawers and Built Ins
Drawers are very versatile as well. Using a drawer divider will create essentially two drawers in one. There are also inserts to store different sized items preventing them from running into each other. If you have a lot of spices and cooking ingredients, a pull out spice rack, or custom pantry set up would be a great addition to organize the kitchen space. For a larger impact, those hard to reach corner cabinets can be converted into easy pull out drawers. Consider too adding a customized built in which can either hide or showcase your kitchen items.
