Are you preparing to upgrade your kitchen? If so, it’s the perfect time to add useful features to your kitchen. Whether you want the luxury of a home bar or desperately need more storage, custom kitchen amenities offer solutions. Here are seven kitchen design amenities you didn’t know you needed.
1. Drawer Organizers
How often do you find yourself searching through a jumble of utensils for the one that you need? Or do you find that large utensils, like spatulas, frequently shift and block drawers from fully opening at all? Thankfully, drawer organizers are a simple solution to prevent this. That’s because they separate and neatly store utensils, lids, small accessories, and more. So you’ll have no problem reaching into your drawers and finding what you need!
2. Lazy Susans
Like drawer organizers, lazy Susans help you make the most of your space. So they’re especially helpful for cabinet spaces that are difficult to reach and would otherwise go unused. Instead, cans, spices, jars, and more become easily accessible just by spinning your lazy Susan. We recommend choosing lazy Susans with multiple levels to maximize your space.
3. Pull-Outs
Pull-outs are one kitchen design amenity you’re sure to appreciate. After all, no one likes to see visible trash or recycling. Fortunately, with pull-outs, garbage and recycling are stowed neatly out of sight. And you’re sure to love all the space you’ll gain. In addition, pull-outs are excellent for making use of narrow spaces. So they’re perfect for storing spices, jars, or even utensils.
4. Home Bar
Do you love hosting friends for game night? Or are you a wine connoisseur with a collection of vintages you can’t wait to display? Alternatively, do you simply relish the idea of relaxing with a chilled cocktail at the end of the day? If so, a home bar is the amenity you didn’t know you needed. Whether you want a simple wine rack and glass storage or a full wet bar with refrigerated cabinets, Edgewood Cabinetry is able to help all your home bar dreams come true!
5. Coffee Bar
A coffee bar is the perfect place to grab a pick-me-up in the morning or to brew beverages for your family or guests. So why not include one in your next kitchen remodel? For instance, include custom storage for your coffee maker, espresso machine, or French press. And don’t forget designated spaces for all your utensils and accessories! Likewise, be sure to add compartments for coffee pods, sugar, coffee grounds, creamer, flavored syrups, and more to finish your custom coffee bar.
6. Kitchen Island
Kitchen islands have become increasingly popular–and for good reason! They’re truly multi-functional and add tons of utility to your kitchen. So whether you’re dreaming of a breakfast nook with built-in storage for stools or you want space for a second cooktop and prep area, a kitchen island fits the bill. Furthermore, it’s the perfect place to gain additional counter space and storage or add specialty appliances. There are so many possibilities!
7. Pet Food Station
You have your table or bar, but where does your pet eat? Are your pet’s bowls sitting awkwardly in a corner of your kitchen, taking up valuable floor space? Or do you frequently deal with messes from your sloppy eater? Fortunately, there is a solution. Many homeowners are adding pet food stations to their kitchens. A simple built-in nook provides an out-of-the way space for pets to eat. Alternatively, add storage for pet food bags and treats to keep everything organized and within reach. Or go all-out with space for leashes and a cozy bed!
