Sanity Saving Small Kitchen Storage Ideas

Regardless of the size of your kitchen, storage can be a challenge. Fortunately, we at Maine Cabinet Company have a number of storage solution suggestions that can be used to make the most of your space!

Your space might not be equipped with a hidden pantry, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have everything you need right at your fingertips. Small can mean intimate or organized, rather than cluttered.

Save Space with a Super Susan

The difference between the design of a traditional Lazy Susan and a “Super Susan” is that the rotating shelves of a Lazy Susan are supported by a central pole, which limits the amount usable space available.

The rotating shelves of a Super Susan are mounted to a fixed shelf. This eliminates the central pole and allows you to put small items in the corners that aren’t frequently used. Additionally, the shelves on a Super Susan rotate independently, so it’s especially easy to find items across the different tiers.

Double Trash Pullout

The best solution for waste baskets is an “out of sight, out of mind” approach. Double-trash can pullouts are exceedingly practical, making them a must have in every household. Not only are they a discreet way to dispose of kitchen waste, but they’re roomy enough to separate trash from recyclables without taking up any floor-space in your kitchen.

Tray Dividers

Tray dividers are an inexpensive solution for storing cookie trays and broil pans. Rather than stacking everything flat, trays are assembled vertically so you can easily reach for the appropriate pan without the hassle of reorganizing every time you take one out. If baking or broiling is an everyday activity, tray dividers are the best way to stay organized and keep everything you need within an arm’s reach.

Keep Countertops Clutter Free by Utilizing Drawers Inserts

If you’re trying to keep a clean countertop, your drawer game needs to be on point. A good drawer divider is a one-time investment that allows you to keep your countertops free for food preparation and free of visual clutter.

Start simple with cutlery dividers for your cooking utensils and flatware. Then, consider what else in your kitchen can be tucked away in a drawer. Inserts that allow you to safely store your knife set in a drawer frees up space taken by a clunky countertop knife block. Spice drawer inserts are also useful. They give you the same visibility as a spice rack while taking up far less space.
