Installing new kitchen cabinets? Great! You have the perfect opportunity to design your dream kitchen space and have everything exactly how you want it.

So don’t just focus on the exterior of the cabinets. Get the customized storage you need! Before you install your new cabinets, explore all of these incredible kitchen cabinet accessories.

Corner and Base Cabinet Organizers

Are you sick of opening your cabinet to an avalanche of plastic? Or are you tired of your entire cabinet being taken up by awkward piles of lids? If so, corner and base cabinet organizers are your new best friends.

Corner cabinets offer tons of space when they’re properly organized. For instance, a corner cabinet organizer neatly stores all your specialty appliances and the accessories that go with them. And a base cabinet organizer is perfect for storing all those plastic storage containers and lids!

Pull-Outs and Pull-Downs

Obviously, no one wants to display their trash to guests. It’s unsightly! And let’s be honest, the smell isn’t great either. So why ruin the perfect look of your new kitchen with trash cans and recycling bins? Keep it all out of sight with pull-outs and pull-downs.

With this purpose in mind, pull-outs and pull-downs offer you a way to easily store trash and recycling within your cabinets. Just pull down on the handle or slide the bin out, toss your garbage or recycling in, and close the door. Plus, emptying the bins is just as easy! Simply open the cabinet, remove the bin, empty it, and return it to the cabinet. So easy!

Lazy Susans

Imagine being able to open your cabinets and simply spin a lazy Susan to find what you need. No more moving stacks of cans or reaching around boxes. Finally, everything will be neatly organized and within your reach.

Lazy Susans are perfect options for cans, jars, and spices. They’re also wonderful for organizing coffee, tea, and cocoa. Or use a lazy Susan to organize all those cleaning supplies under your sink.

Drawer Inserts

We are firm believers that having a place for everything and everything in its place makes life simpler and better. And drawer inserts are the perfect way to do that.

Cooking utensils, silverware, and small items all too frequently turn into a jumbled mess in kitchen drawers. Fortunately, drawer inserts easily organize the contents of your drawers. And they’re customizable to fit your own unique needs!

Spice Racks

If you do a lot of cooking, you know there’s never enough room for your spices. They end up all over the place–on the back of your stove, cluttering your counters, and taking over your cabinets.

Thankfully, there’s an easy and beautiful solution to reduce your kitchen clutter–spice racks! Spice racks are easily added to any of your new kitchen cabinets, and they’re customizable to fit different size jars. So add one, two, or 10!

Wine Racks

What’s dinner without a little wine? Whether you want to display your favorite vintages or just keep bottles within easy reach to pair with dinner, wine racks are a beautiful addition to your cabinets.

Best of all, wine racks are completely customizable! So tuck your bottles neatly away inside a cabinet. Or put them on full display with a gorgeous rack that’s built into your kitchen island. Alternatively, go all out by creating a home bar in your kitchen. The sky’s the limit!

Range Hoods and Vents

What’s the point in designing beautiful custom cabinets, only to have your range hood stick out like a sore thumb? Thankfully, we have a solution. Here at Edgewood Cabinetry, we offer custom-designed range hoods and vents to match your new cabinets.

Clutter doesn’t just look bad. It also has a significant effect on our well-being. As a matter of fact, too much clutter is linked to stress, anxiety, insomnia, and distraction. Conversely, clean, organized spaces give us a sense of calm. So what can you do if you’re tired of household clutter? Here are six cabinet features that can solve your clutter problem.

1. Pull-Outs and Pull-Downs

Longing for wide-open spaces? Then, consider adding pull-outs and pull-downs to your cabinets. They’re excellent for clearing floor space. That means you can finally say goodbye to trash cans, recycling bins, and laundry hampers cluttering your floor. With pull-outs and pull-downs, everything is stowed neatly out of sight. Consider adding them to your kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, walk-in closet, and any other room that could use some out-of-sight storage.

2. Lazy Susans

Lazy Susans are perfect if you find yourself constantly searching through your cabinets or needing to move stacks of items. That’s because they organize your clutter, all while keeping everything you need accessible. For example, add lazy Susans to your kitchen to store spices and oils. Or incorporate them into your closet to organize your belts and ties. You can even create rotating hanging systems to make your wardrobe more accessible. Just imagine the possibilities!

3. Drawer Inserts

At times, many of us are guilty of shoving our clutter into drawers. But the problem with that is, you only have so much space. Consequently, when your drawers aren’t organized, they wind up filled with a jumble of items that may even interfere with the drawer opening and closing. Thankfully, drawer inserts easily solve this problem. Moreover, they’re useful for every drawer, whether you need to organize silverware in your kitchen, washcloths in your bathroom, office supplies in your desk, or socks in your bedroom. No more rummaging through drawers, trying to find the one item you need. Drawer inserts keep everything organized, accessible, and, perhaps most importantly, visible.

4. Accessory Storage

Today’s homes are filled with accessories. You probably have small items like hair dryers, electric razors, game controllers, remotes, makeup, and jewelry throughout your house. These small, often oddly-shaped items are difficult to stack neatly in cabinets, so they’re frequently left on countertops and furniture instead. Fortunately, custom cabinets are made with accessory storage in mind, and they’re personalized to your own unique needs. So whether your nail polish collection is taking over your vanity, you constantly find remotes and controllers stuffed down the sides of your furniture, or you’ve accumulated an inordinate number of small specialty kitchen appliances, custom accessory storage areas accommodate it all.

5. Custom Sizes

If you live with stock cabinets, small closets, and an entertainment center from a big box store, it’s no wonder you have problems with clutter. Cabinets sold as one-size-fits-all solutions are anything but. Thankfully, custom cabinets open up a whole new world of possibilities. Have a multitude of oddly-shaped kitchen appliances? Build cabinets to accommodate them. Share a closet with someone a foot shorter than you? Custom-sized hanging areas make the most of your space. Own an extra large television? Display that beauty on a custom size entertainment center! Instead of trying to force your possessions into your existing cabinets, take advantage of custom sizes to make your cabinets fit your needs.

6. Racks

Racks allow you to both organize and display your items (if you choose). So get your spices off the counter with a spice rack. Store toilet paper in a behind-the-door storage rack. Tackle that pile of shoes in your closet with a built-in shoe rack. Or display your favorate vintages on a wine rack in your home bar. Indeed, racks are a useful feature to add to cabinets in almost any room. And since they hold a ton, they’re one of the best ways to clear up your clutter.

pull out shelves-edgewood cabinetry

When planning to remodel your kitchen there is always a certain tension between the desire to maximize the square footage of the room and to produce a space that offers a greater ease of use. Indeed, the “form vs function” debate has long raged in architecture and home design. Ultimately, however, there is no universal answer to this question: each particular project must engage with it pragmatically in order to best use the space available.

In the case of remodellings, this tension is neatly bound up in the decision of whether or not to choose pull-out shelves for your kitchen cabinets.

On one hand, pull-out shelves offer a stylish convenience. Items can be neatly arranged and, when pulled out, almost find themselves on display. On the other hand, such shelves must clear any obstacles in their way, such as cabinet doors or appliances, such that they are able to pull out freely. Also, depending on how the shelves are mounted, the boxes may need to be narrower to provide room for the slides that they sit on.

When it is time for you to make the choice, consider how much room your kitchen has to spend on form: do you need to maximize every square inch available to you or would your cabinets still hold your things despite being slightly smaller? Remember that even if your cabinets already seem to be filled to the brim, your remodel may be increasing your storage space with or without pull-out shelves. Try to imagine clearing one shelf in every three cabinets to get a sense of what kind of space might be lost. If you can manage, pull-out shelves are probably right for you.
