Maximizing Space with Your Kitchen Remodel


Even a large kitchen can go to waste with a design that doesn’t consider efficiency. Explore some ideas to get a feel for the ways you can use your kitchen space more effectively when you remodel:

  • Use your vertical space: going vertical makes your kitchen larger and more functional. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets create a ton of storage space and keep your counters clear.  Also consider a hanging rack for pots and pans, storing items below cabinets with hooks, and installing magnetic strips for knife and spice storage.
  • Organization solutions: when everything has its space, you reduce clutter, and create a space that feels larger. Drawer organizers, appliance garages, and hooks on the inside of cabinet doors are just a few ideas for space-maximizing organization.  
  • Slide and spin: instead of ending up with the dreaded dead-zone at the back of your cabinets, get the most out of your space with sliding shelves or a lazy Susan. These solutions help you use (and organize) more of your space than traditional cupboards.

Get More Use Out of Your Basement!

Do you have a hard time figuring out how to find space for home schooling, working from home, or working out?

Do you think your basement would be a good place to fit all these needs, but you’re not sure how to make it happen?

Homes that have extra, unused basement space are great for multipurpose rooms, but it can be overwhelming figuring out where to start.

Here’s a few additional tips for maximum storage and functionality:

  1. Utilize multi-functional furnishings: Pieces that fold away neatly to free up floor space, or double-duty pieces that can transform into something else entirely are key to making a room work for several activities. A fold-away desk or furniture that doubles as storage space are great ideas.
  2. Don’t overlook corners: The addition of L-shaped corner desks or corner shelving can improve space that might be otherwise overlooked or under-utilized. Added shelving can multiply a room’s storage space, freeing up floors and closets.
  3. Look up: Vertical expansion is key! Walls are valuable real estate for hanging chairs, and fold-up furniture. If you don’t have much wall space, you can also use the back of doors for hanging storage.
  4. Clear the clutter: Creative storage options like walk-in closets with shallow cabinets, wall hooks, and a built-in shelving will help you keep a space clean and easier to transform depending on your needs. The key here is having a dedicated storage spot for toys, craft supplies, and workout gear. When every item has its place, you can find what you need quickly.
