Kitchen Organization

It seems that whatever home design magazine you pick up, organization is key to their designs. Storage is always a big issue when redesigning a kitchen. Ever wondered what to do with all of your clutter? How can you use the space inside of you cabinets better? Well there are some great new cabinet and closet hardware pieces that will help you put it all away.


Maximize Kitchen Space! Make the most of your cabinets with Hafele or Rev-a-Shelf products. Some product ideas:


• Two Tier Cutlery drawer



• Use Drawers with Pegs:

• Creative Lazy Susan corner cabinets. They can hold your pans or your trash!


• Other Creative Drawers — Drawers have been upgraded with individual compartments that avoid a tangled mess and ones for knives protect both blades and fingers.


If you’re thinking about a kitchen redesign here are words of wisdom from Designer Kenneth Brown: "It's up to the homeowner. There is a point where the designer's role stops and the homeowner's role really starts. I can make a kitchen function and look really great, but I can't tell you where to put your cans of soup. Take your kitchen plans and label where everything is going to be. You have to do your homework to make sure the kitchen is going to function with how you cook."


If you're still looking for more space, think of where you could sacrifice space in the rest of your home in order to create a pantry.
