5. Towel Pull-Out

We love a stylish kitchen towel, A towel pull-out offers a practical solution, keeping your kitchen towel readily accessible for quick clean-ups while concealing it from view. This not only reduces visual clutter but also enhances the overall cleanliness of your kitchen!

6. tray divider Storage

Storing sheet pans, muffin tins, and cutting boards can be a challenging task as they are often bulky and difficult to organize. Typically, they end up shoved into random cabinets, precariously stacked and ready to topple out at the slightest touch.

A more effective solution is vertical pan storage with dividers. This setup allows you to easily see and access each pan, while the dividers prevent them from leaning against each other—reducing the risk of them falling.

The best part? Having a dedicated cabinet for pans ensures they won't be scattered throughout your kitchen, making them easier to store and find whenever you need them.

7. Appliance Garage or Mixer Pop Up

While baking Christmas cookies was a blast, we don’t need our stand mixers crowding our workspace. If you use your larger appliances (mixer, food processor, blender) on a daily basis, an appliance garage is a great way to keep these items on your countertop but in a designated home that tucks them out of view. That way you don’t have to drag them out and fumble around with cords every time you want to use them.

If you use your appliances more sparingly (ie. dinner parties and holidays) consider base cabinet storage with deep roll-out drawers. This again, gives the items a home that’s not adding to daily clutter and gives these items a specific storage spot in your kitchen design so that you can find and access them when needed.

9. Charging Drawer

Our kitchens aren’t just a place to cook and eat but also a place where we work and study. The problem is, when we use computers and tablets in our kitchens, they tend to be left out on countertops which makes them prone to spills and other accidents.

 A charging drawer is fantastic storage solution that allows us to work in our kitchen while also keeping our devices safe and reducing clutter. These drawers are equipped with internal outlets so that devices can be stored, protected, and charged simultaneously. And they can be tucked away out of sight when not in use.
