Kitchen Remodeling to Increase Storage

Do you have things falling out of your cabinets as you reach for the item you want? Do your shelves look messy or don’t have enough room? Then you might want to consider gearing your kitchen remodel towards creating more storage. Take a look at some of the ways you can maximize your space to create adequate storage in your St Charles, IL kitchen.

Add More Cabinets: One of the possible reasons you might not have enough space in your kitchen is that your previous owner did not install enough cabinetry, especially if you have an older home. Whether you add two or ten additional cabinets during your St. Charles, IL, kitchen remodel, it’s important that you understand how much space you are truly going to need to keep your kitchen organized and clean.

Ceiling Space: A classic idea that is often overlooked when planning a kitchen remodel is the use of ceiling space. By installing a suspended pot and pan rack, you can maximize your space, while also keeping home up to date with the latest trends. This in turn creates more space in your cabinets, for more overall organization and lots of visual interest.

Islands: Adding an island to your kitchen remodel can not only serve as a staple piece to your kitchen, but it can also provide more storage underneath. Have your island constructed specifically for storage so you’ll have a place for all of your pots, pans, and large items like crock pots and air fryers.

Built-in Spice Rack: If you have trouble trying to figure out how to properly store your spices, then installing a built-in spice rack that rolls out is one of the best upgrades a cook can get. These genius storage solutions allow for easier access and organization when cooking in your St. Charles, IL, home. 

Pantries: Adding a pantry during your kitchen remodel can maximize your storage space and reduce clutter and frustration. Large or small, pantries provide a place where you can organize dry and canned goods while leaving more space for dishes and small appliances in your primary cabinets. 

Unused Space: Before you decide what you want to add to your St Charles, IL, kitchen remodeling project, make sure you incorporate ideas around the unused space in your Kitchen. This could be an empty wall or extending your pantry to the ceiling to maximize your space. When you hire the Whelan Builders we’ll be sure to give you our ideas and what we’ve seen other homeowners have done.
