It no secret that we’re constantly inundated with kitchen gadgets and tools these days. You have your stand mixer and your milk frother. An immersion blender and a food processor. We’re not quite sure what it is, but we hear great things about a microplane. With all of these tools, it’s important to get your kitchen storage right. If you’re remodeling your East Brunswick home, you have a unique opportunity to start from scratch. What would you want if you could choose your kitchen cabinets, from storage space to usability? We’ve gathered up a few of our best tips to help you figure it all out. Who knows? Maybe it’ll inspire you to get going on your own renovation.

Don’t Skimp on the Drawers

We can’t all survive with a fashionable tin for our cooking utensils and a basket for our silverware. Kitchens need drawers just as much as they need kitchen cabinets. Think of the space you have now. Do you find yourself jamming more and more into the too few drawers? You might want to consider converting a space that used to be a cabinet into a row of drawers to increase usability. With the right set of new kitchen cabinets, you’ll be able to decide the exact ratio of cabinets to drawer space.

Embrace Your Height with Kitchen Cabinets

We’re not trying to call anyone short here, but if you constantly find yourself climbing on counters to reach everyday items, you may want to build that into your kitchen redesign. Maybe you focus more on maximizing the lower cabinet space. Perhaps you use the upper kitchen cabinets as more of a display space, like in the above set from Cubitac. That way you can still get plenty of use out of the area without boarding it off with a soffit or turning your kitchen into a jungle gym.

If you’re taller, on the other hand, you may be able to get away with a smaller footprint and much taller kitchen cabinets. That could allow for a more open floor plan and a high vertical space usage.

Get Creative with Your Kitchen Cabinets

If you really want to maximize your kitchen’s utility, you may need to get creative. Take a look at the island with built in cabinets from Cubitac. This ensures that you’re not wasting space without sacrificing the utility of an island for everyday or special event cooking needs.
