Kitchen Storage/ Organization
Here are some of the ideas and pictures of the kitchen and space savers.
Instant Kitchen Tool Drawer Organizers
Whenever we peruse the sites of high-end European specialist kitchen makers, we find ourselves admiring the built-in drawer storage units (such as the SieMatic drawer, shown below). For the DIYers among us, we've rounded up a selection of modular drawer components that allow you to instantly organize kitchen utensils, knives, and spices.
Window Seat Storage
Drawers underneath the window seats store tablelinens and other seldom-used items. Narrowshelves nearby add function to areas too small for standard-size cabinets by holding fabric-lined baskets.
Tip; This idea should be kept in mind when renovating or remodeling any nook where you can utilize the practical space.

Spice Storage
In a narrow space next to the range, a pullout spicecabinet with adjustable shelves makes spices easily accessible from both sides. The savvystorage spot is disguised by a sapele wood panel to maintain the cohesive look of the room.
Magic Corner
Instead of a typical lazy Susan for a corner cabinet, this cabinet was outfitted with a popular design feature called The Magic Corner. This allows shelveson the door and cabinet interior to tuck away when the door is closed, then "magically" become accessible when the door opens.
Reflective Surfaces
A skylight, white-painted cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances add to the feeling of spaciousness by keeping the kitchen light and bright. Black soapstone countertops and colorful accents balance the abundance of white. Open shelves near the cooktop house cookbooks and decorative accents, adding additional space, color and interest to the room.
Convenient Cabinetry
Extra space between the cabinetry andrefrigerator provides a handy spot for wine storage. Glass-front doors on the upper cabinets allow colorful dishware to stand out.
Productive Peninsula
Across from the wall of appliances and cabinets, a U-shape peninsula contains the sink anddishwasher. The peninsula supplies additional storage and countertop work space. The absence of upper cabinets -- and scenic views and sunlight from a nearby window -- in this area of the kitchen maintains the openness of the room and scenic views and sunlight from a nearby window. Open shelves above the sink store stacks of dinnerwarefor an attractive display.
Smart Buys
Stacked refrigerator drawers take up less room than a standard refrigerator, leaving more room forcabinetry. Open shelving above the appliance garage gives the eye a rest, breaking up the expanse of white cabinetry. Black granite countertops balance all the white in the room and provide a strong, stylish work surface.
Tiny Kitchen
In this 9x8-foot kitchen, every inch of space was used effectively to give the cook a clean, comfortable space to work. Upper and lower Shaker-style cabinets maximize storage. The white-painted cabinets and the stainless-steel appliances,fixtures, and hardware keep the kitchen light. Glass-front doors on the upper cabinets create the perception of greater depth and increase the visual space of the kitchen.
Practical Pullouts
In a narrow space between the wall and range, a handy pullout shelf stores oils, canned goods, and more.
