Picture this: neatly stored food, perfectly positioned spices, orderly pots and pans, uncluttered utensils and immaculate countertops — everything clean and in its proper place. A beautiful and organized kitchen can leave you feeling invincible and ready to take the new year by storm. Turn your fantasy into a reality and kick your new kitchen into high gear using built-in cabinet accessories. The Home Depot, the largest home-improvement retailer in the world, offers solutions to triumph over five common storage issues.
Your Lower Cabinets Are Overcrowded
Cabinets so crammed that you need Ant-Man to help you find that last jar of tomato sauce? It’s time to take action. Maximize your lower cabinetry space with a combination of large rollout trays, side rollouts and wire door racks. Rollouts pack a punch, helping you reach the back of the cabinets in a flash — no more aching knees and strained back just to find the right canned soup. Add a toe-kick drawer underneath for even more storage.
This setup isn’t just for food. Use it to create a kid zone to store juice boxes and craft supplies, or as a pet zone — put food, toys and leashes up top and stash food and water bowls in the toe-kick drawer. If your corner cabinets are giving you grief, install a Lazy Susan to easily access items. Consider corner drawers or pullouts for maximum impact.

Your Upper Cabinets Are Too High
Not all of us have a Clark Kent to fly us to our top cabinet shelves, but never fear — your kitchen caped crusader might just be masquerading as a pull-down spice rack. Instead of teetering on a stool, hunting down a taller family member or simply avoiding the top shelves, you can pull your spices down to eye level. Add this cabinet accessory near your cooking area, such as next to the range, for a space-planning victory. A dedicated spot for your spices makes meal prep more efficient and also keeps your countertops clear.

Your Cutlery Drawers Are Jumbled
Kitchen cutlery drawers are notorious organizational pain points. Standard dividers don’t always fit your silverware or your drawers, leaving things a mess. Get organized with a built-in tiered cutlery divider. The additional level provides more storage, so you don’t have to stack items haphazardly. The top level slides back and forth, providing easy access to the lower compartments. Fitted during construction, the divider won’t be sliding around every time you open and close the drawer. Try a diagonal divider to hold Hulk-sized utensils.

Your Pots and Pans Are Chaotic
Pots and pans are often shoved into cabinets in disarray, creating an ambush of falling lids the next time someone opens the door. Stop the lawlessness with base pullouts or deep rollout trays. The pullouts seen here operate independently and feature rails for storing lids on the sides. Install yours next to the stovetop or range to grab the right pan in a jiffy.

Your Utensils Are Scattered
Kitchen utensils can be a home chef’s kryptonite. The basics just don’t seem to cut it when you could have a shiny set of matching knives, three sizes of whisks, four types of spatulas and seemingly endless spoon options. The tricky part is storing everything neatly. A base utensil pantry pullout keeps items in one place and off the counter. Try one with an adjustable knife block and a lower shelf for added convenience. The knife block — made out of flexible fibers — and storage canisters seen here are dishwasher-safe.
Bam! Pow! These cabinet accessories will leave you and your kitchen designer saying, “Mission accomplished.”

Set on Stone: Why These Countertops Are So Swoonworthy
Here’s what makes stone (and stone-inspired) countertops popular on any budget
Full Story
I am short so upper cabinets are basically a waste of space. I have a couple of them with everyday dishes, lowered them to sit on counter, that way I can access 3 shelves standing on the floor. As I age I don't want to be standing on step-stools to reach daily dishes. I like keeping the spices in a shelving unit between the studs. The shelving is shallow and I can see everything so nothing gets lost and outdated. I like drawers exclusively on the lower cabinets. I like tall cabinets with pull-out drawers. One next to stove for pots and pans, the lids mounted on the inside door. Everything I use most often is at a height where I don't have to bend down much. I also like 3 tall cabinets in the oven/baking area. One for pans (cake, bread, and casseroles), one on each side of the ovens. On one side I put unbaked cookies on sheets, bread raising and other unbaked goods. On the other side, I put baked goods for cooling/storing. The lower part of the cabinets are for storing extra sheets and large jelly roll pans. My island has drawers on both sides. One for often used baking supplies and the other for storing baking tools and containers. At the end of the island, it drops to table height, nice for a few friends to gather for coffee/tea and conversation. It is perfect height to roll out cookies/cinnamon rolls. It is my favorite room of the house. I also have a huge skylight that lightens the room, even at night when the moon is full, plus a lot of windows where the upper cabinets would usually block. If you must have upper cabinets, consider fixed windows where the back splash would be. It really adds light to the counter tops.
Wow. Great design.
