Custom Kitchen Cabinet Ideas

lower kitchen cabinet drawer divided to hold eating utentilsClever built in solutions for kitchen storage are a plus.

We’ve all seen the spice drawer with labeled bottles and the currently popular base cabinet drawer divided with dowels to hold dishes.  It’s great to be organized and even better to have built-ins that make everyday life in the kitchen convenient.  Who wouldn’t love this partitioned utensil drawer next to the dishwasher so that it’s quicker to unload?

kitchen pantry divided tray and platter storageWhen I originally saw this photo, I thought wooden dowels had been used in the pantry to divide the platters and chopping boards.  But they’re actually window tension rods. No need to wait for a kitchen remodel to put this idea to use.

kitchen counter storage bins for bread and onionsI’m not sure how practical these countertop storage bins are, but I like the idea.  Bread, onions and garlic are kept nearby.

    The tension rods are a FABULOUS idea! Would love to have that silverware drawer. Rethinking the orientation at which you store stuff in your cabinets makes all the difference in the world. Again, great ideas.

    My tomatoes (and much else) would be rolling down through the hole into the trash. LOL But I love all these ideas, particularly the last 2 and the top 1 (I think the cabinet color is contributing to the appeal)…As long as they pull out for occasional cleaning.

    Not sure I like the bread/onion cubbies. All I can think of is all of the crumbs that would need to be vacuumed out on a daily basis. It would drive me batty!
