Shop Sink Cleanup Storage7 Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Storage Ideas
Most homeowners spend lots of time making sure their kitchen looks perfect. However, it’s equally as important to focus on smart cabinet organizers that keep your kitchen clean and streamlined. If you want a planned kitchen that’s both beautiful and functions beyond your wildest dreams, consider adding these 7 must-have kitchen storage ideas to your design.
1. Wastebasket Pull-Out
Every kitchen creates waste. That’s why you should keep your kitchen tidy and well-organized with a wastebasket pull-out. With two cans and a kitchen cabinet drawer you can dispose of trash and recycling in the same cabinet, making your kitchen less smelly and more streamlined.
Wastebasket pull-outs will also reduce the risk of pets and small children rummaging through the bins when your back is turned. This cabinet accessory is commonly located near the sink for easy disposal of food scraps and other garbage. Make your new kitchen even more dreamy with a wastebasket pull-out.
2. Knife Block Drawer Insert
Reduce the clutter in your kitchen by taking advantage of the knife block drawer insert. Knives for food preparation are best stored in drawers with dividers that keep the blades sharp. Not only does this clean up the appearance of the kitchen, but it keeps knives out of sight and out of the mind of smaller family members.
Consider placing your knife block insert near your range or cooktop for convenience. This kitchen cabinet storage solution makes food prep and last-minute tasks a breeze. Add this cabinet accessory for organized kitchen cabinets.
3. Tray Divider Cabinet
Stuck on where to store your awkward cookie sheets and muffin pans? An organized tray divider cabinet gives you easy access and visibility. No more stacking pans at the bottom of a cabinet or using a flimsy store-bought shelf organizer to stand them upright.
CliqStudios offers several tray divider cabinets to customize your storage. Either add tray dividers over the refrigerator or to your base cabinet or wall oven. This cabinet accessory adds incredible value to wasted kitchen areas. Put it on your wish list today!
4. Roll-Out Trays
Tired of reaching blindly into the back of your cabinets? Do you find yourself pulling out every pan on the shelf just to find the right one? Base cabinet roll-out trays are a must-have solution to improve the accessibility of your custom kitchen.
This sliding shelf for cabinets is a great choice for those choosing to age in place, and for anyone who’s tired of disorganized base cabinets. You can choose between one or two roll-out trays for your base cabinets based on your needs. Soft-close glides create a seamless experience bringing your kitchen supplies out front where you can see them.
5. Two-Tiered Cutlery Drawer
Does your silverware drawer need an upgrade? Ditch that basic plastic insert for a two-tiered cutlery drawer. Now you can take advantage of every square inch and make the most of your drawer space.
Tiered silverware drawers are best for homeowners who love more space to store cutlery and have more cutlery for entertaining. Using a smooth glide system, the top drawer slides back into the cabinet revealing the lower divider for easy access. Consider placing this accessory near your kitchen sink or dishes storage to make setting the table easier.
6. Lazy Susan Cabinet
Nothing makes a homeowner more frustrated than cluttered corner kitchen cabinet storage. Since they are notorious for being difficult to use, try a lazy susan cabinet. This popular cabinet accessory allows you to see everything within seconds.
Lazy susans are most commonly used for dry goods or canned food storage. Smaller items are easier to stack and place within rotating trays, but some prefer them for pots and pans storage. Each lazy susan comes with two spinning trays to maximize your corner storage cabinet.
7. Super Sink Base Cabinet
If you love an organized kitchen then the super sink base cabinet is for you. Explore four unique accessories that take advantage of every inch of your sink base. No more worrying about where to store cleaning products, dish scrubbers and wet towels.
Each super sink base includes a tilt-out tray, wire basket pull-out for cleaning supplies, sink base liner and towel bar. Store sponges and dish scrubbers in the tilt-out tray for quick access. Every sink base liner is also designed to protect your base cabinet from potential water leaks and the towel rack keeps your dish towels out of sight.

How to Organize Kitchen Cabinets
We all know how difficult it can be to organize a new kitchen. With so many new cabinet accessories and more storage space, you want to do it right the first time. But do you know where to store everything? If you want to maximize your space and efficiency, follow our top tips for organized kitchen cabinets below.
Clean Up & Clean Out
The first step before moving back in after a kitchen remodel is getting rid of clutter. Take plenty of time to go through canned foods and dry goods tossing anything expired. If you have damaged items like small kitchen appliances or pots and pans, now is the time to get rid of them. Make sure to only bring items back into the kitchen that will add value and serve a purpose.
Organize by Work Zone
In every kitchen there is a cooking, cleaning and food prep zone. Organize your space by looking deeper into each of these zones. For example, the cooking zone will generally be around the range. Because you will need pots and pans, cooking utensils, hot pads and baking dishes here, store these items in the surrounding drawers and pull-out storage for easy access.
Like the cooking zone, the prep zone will need quick access to items like chef’s knives, cutting boards, large bowls, spices and oils. Keep these items in your kitchen island or wherever you plan to prep food. Lastly, the cleaning zone will be near the dishwasher and sink so make space to store dishes, silverware and other serveware here. This will make unloading the dishwasher convenient and quick.
Consider Your Work Habits
Although these tips make logical sense, sometimes homeowners have different preferences. Maybe you prefer to keep your dishes and cutlery by the range so you can serve food hot off the oven. Organize your kitchen based on your work habits and what makes sense for you. If having cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink is foreign to you and you prefer the kitchen pantry cabinet, then choose whatever location helps you the most. The name of the game is convenience and creating a kitchen that’s efficient for you.

How to Choose Your Kitchen Cabinet Storage
Ready to choose your own cabinet upgrades and accessories? Start by making a list of your storage priorities. This should take into consideration how you like to cook, what items you tend to use most, and the quantity you would prefer of each upgrade.
Do you have lots of pots and pans? Add more storage like roll-out trays, deep drawers and pots and pans pull-outs. This will help you maximize every inch and make it easier to access these bulky items at a moment’s notice.
How about excess plates, bowls and silverware? Consider adding multi-storage drawers for dishes down low, and multiple cutlery dividers to accommodate silverware. If you prefer an open layout, add floating shelves to store dishes, plates, cups and bowls.
Do you love to bake? Add tray divider cabinets near the range for your never-ending supply of cooling racks and cookie sheets and cabinet door storage for spices. By placing them near the range, you will have easy access to your baking supplies when that last batch of cookies is larger than expected.
At the end of the day, focus on your wish list. Write down what you like about your kitchen and what doesn’t work, then plan from there. If you keep your storage needs and function at the forefront, your new kitchen remodel will be a dream.
