Custom cabinets are tailored to the needs of your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room. You can personalize the cabinet sizing, colors, wood types, and door designs to match your home’s aesthetics and maximize space. Here are some ways to improve storage with custom kitchen cabinets:
Roll-Out Shelves
A roll-out shelf is a sliding platform installed inside kitchen cabinets, allowing you to pull the shelf forward. This design provides access to items stored at the back of a deep cabinet without having to move things out of the way. With improved accessibility, it’s easier to utilize all the space in your kitchen cabinets, including the hard-to-reach areas. You can group similar items, creating designated zones for baking supplies, pots, canned goods, and small appliances.
Corner Cabinets
Lazy Susan corner cabinets are rotating shelves installed inside corner kitchen cabinets. The rotating mechanism allows you to use the entire cabinet space, including the back corners. By enabling 360-degree access to stored items, lazy Susans enhance kitchen storage by making it easier to organize and retrieve small to medium-sized items, such as kitchen gadgets, canned goods, and spices. The design features multi-tiered shelves that utilize vertical space effectively. Lazy Susans are often designed in various sizes and configurations, including half-round, full-round, and kidney-shaped, to fit different cabinet types and storage needs.
Tray Dividers
Tray dividers are designed to separate and store flat kitchen items like cutting boards and cookie sheets vertically inside cabinets. Instead of stacking these items on top of each other, which can cause clutter, tray dividers create individual compartments for each item. Separation prevents items from tipping, sliding, or falling out when you open the cabinet. The trays utilize vertical storage, freeing up horizontal space for other kitchen items. With each item in a dedicated space, you can find and retrieve what you need without disarranging other stored items.
Spice Cabinets
Custom spice cabinets allow you to store spice jars vertically or horizontally in designated drawers. Vertical spice storage keeps jars upright, preventing spills. A multi-drawer design enables you to organize spices alphabetically, by flavor profile, or by frequency of use.
Horizontal spice cabinets keep all jars within easy reach, as you don’t have to bend over to access those stored near the floor. Face-up labels make spice identification convenient, speeding up the cooking process. Keeping all spice jars visible helps reduce time spent looking for key recipe ingredients.
Sink Base Cabinets
Sink base cabinets are installed directly beneath your kitchen sink to house the plumbing and provide a finished look to the sink area. Incorporating shelves inside these cabinets provides storage for cleaning supplies like sponges, dish soap, rubber gloves, and garbage bags. To maximize storage in sink base cabinets, you can incorporate:
- U-shaped drawers: U-shaped drawers fit around the plumbing under the sink to optimize storage space. The pull-out design keeps items in easy reach.
- Shelving: Shelving helps keep clutter off the cabinet floor, making it easier to separate cleaning supplies from other kitchen necessities.
