Installing new kitchen cabinets is one of the most exciting parts of remodeling. After the installation is complete, the finishing touch is to organize your storage effectively to make the most of it. Overcrowded or messy cabinets can make cooking and cleaning more difficult than they have to be, but with a few simple adjustments, their storage capacity will be put to the best use possible. Here’s what to keep in mind when setting up your remodeled kitchen.

How to Make the Most of Storage Space in Your Cabinets

1. Adjust the Shelves

Most cabinet shelves rest on adjustable pegs that can be removed and rearranged. While it can seem like a hassle to pull out packages, dishes, and kitchen equipment, readjusting your shelves periodically is worth the effort.

As the configuration of dishes, bowls, and stored equipment changes, you’ll be able to make use of every inch of storage space. Shelves can be moved closer together or farther apart to make space for multiple smaller items, or they can be removed completely to allow plenty of space for bulky equipment or large pots and pans.

2. Make Use of Drawer Bottoms, Sides, & Door Backs

Although plenty of storage space can be created by stacking items on cabinet shelves, there’s a lot of empty space that can be taken advantage of with hooks and hangers. Mugs can be hung from hooks to the bottoms of drawers or the sides of cabinets, while folders or storage pockets can be attached to the backs of cabinet doors to store utensils and lightweight items, such as spice jars.

3. Match Items to Cabinet Dimensions

Before moving items into your new kitchen cabinets, consider the dimensions of both. If you have deep cabinets, you can place infrequently used items like specialty cookware toward the rear while storing high-demand dishes and supplies near the front for easy access.

If you have tall, narrow cabinets, use them for slim items like baking trays or cutting boards. Cabinets with higher shelves and plenty of space toward the bottom are the perfect space for larger pots and kitchen tools.
