When it comes to remodeling a kitchen or bath, storage is almost always high on the wish list. Good storage isn’t just “more cabinets.” It’s about designing spaces that work with the way you live every day, making it easier (and more enjoyable) to cook, get ready, and keep things tidy.
Over the past year, we have worked on several projects that prove thoughtful storage can be a game changer. Here are some of our favorite solutions from recent kitchens and baths.
Kitchen Storage That Works as Hard as You Do
Pull-out spice racks near the cooking zone No more digging through the back of a cabinet for the paprika. Slim pull-outs next to the range keep spices visible, organized, and right where you need them.
Deep drawers for pots and pans Drawers are a back-saver for heavy cookware—no bending or rummaging, just a clear view of everything at once.
Custom dividers for utensils A drawer without dividers is just a jumble waiting to happen. Custom layouts keep flatware, baking tools, and gadgets in their place (and easy to find).
Hidden recycling and trash pull-outs Integrated bins tucked behind cabinet doors keep waste out of sight, free up floor space, and make clean-up a breeze.
Bathroom Storage That Feels Like a Luxury
Built-in shower niches A dedicated spot for shampoo, conditioner, and soap keeps bottles off the floor and makes the shower feel more spacious.
Medicine cabinets with built-in outlets Integrated outlets inside the cabinet make it easy to charge electric toothbrushes, razors, and other grooming tools while keeping them off the countertop. It’s a simple upgrade that adds both convenience and a clutter-free look.
Tall linen cabinets with adjustable shelves Perfect for towels, guest bedding, and toiletries, plus adjustable shelves give you flexibility as your needs change.
Three Design Rules for Great Storage
Keep daily items within easy reach—the things you use most shouldn’t require stretching or bending to get to.
A home for everything— When every item has a designated spot, clutter is less likely to build up.
Plan for flexibility— Life changes, and so should your storage. Adjustable shelves and modular inserts can adapt along with you.
Good storage is one of the best investments you can make in a remodel. It adds function and comfort to your daily life while keeping your space beautiful and clutter-free.
If a kitchen or bath refresh is in your plans for 2026, I’d love to help you design storage solutions that fit your style and your life.
