While the outside appearance of your cabinets greatly defines your kitchen’s design and style, the inside greatly defines its functionality. Whether your kitchen moves with you and assists you in achieving your goals throughout your day or becomes congested and discourages workflow comes down to your cabinets. It won’t matter how many items you toss that do not “spark joy” if the remaining items are hard to find and then hard to reach, or how clean your kitchen is if it smells awful. Below we give you six cabinet storage ideas you can add to your kitchen to make it more functional than ever. 
1. Deep Drawers If you’re in the market of replacing old cabinets, we definitely recommend checking out the benefits of deep drawers. Lower cabinets are usually two feet in depth, offering a lot of dark space to lose your stuff, causing you to take everything out as you dig to find that colander you swear you have. Drawers solve this problem by making even the items in the back easy to find and access. Also, unlike cabinets that are essentially a large hollow box, drawers can have dividers that make it easier to organize your stuff. Drawers are also more efficient since you will actually use all of your lower cabinet space.
2. Pull Outs When drawers are not an option, there are many pull-out options that essentially turn your lower cabinets into drawers. Easily organize your various size pots and pans, use roll trays to easily access your cooking essentials, and make the most of a slim cabinet with a pull out for your spices. This is a great option if you’re looking to optimize your space but can’t afford an entire cabinet replacement.
3. Corner Lazy Susans Normally corner cabinets are the most difficult places in the kitchen to access. Instead of just shoving you’re least used items in the back since you never need them anyway, finally utilize this storage space with the independently rotating Lazy Susan. It makes it easy to get what you need without reaching into a dark corner.
4. Trash Can Pull Out Nothing ruins a kitchen’s cleanliness like the smelly remnants of last night’s fish dinner. Even nice trash canisters are not pleasant to look at. Keep the smelly trash discreet, almost like it doesn’t even exist, with a pull-trash bin hidden behind a cabinet door. 
5. Toe Kick Sweeper Practically every crumby mess in the kitchen ends up on the floor. Make cleaning a breeze and utilize unused space with a toe kick sweeper. All you have to do to get clean floors is open the toe kick sweeper cover and simply sweep messes right in. 
6. Appliance Garage Small appliances can quickly make even a large, open kitchen feel cramped and cluttered. However, for coffee makers and blenders you use every day, it doesn’t make sense to store these appliances in a distant pantry. Instead, an appliance garage can keep your small appliances out of sight but still within reach the moment you need them.
