Avoid These Outdated Kitchen Storage Methods: Expert Recommendations for Modern Alternatives
Get ready to level up your kitchen game! Say goodbye to cluttered, outdated storage and welcome the sleek, stylish solutions that are taking the culinary world by storm. Here's what the experts are suggesting you ditch and what you should adopt to keep your kitchen looking chic and feeling efficient.
Time to Say Bye:
1. Ancient Lazy Susans
We all had our fair share of that rotating table, but it's time to bid adieu. Despite some arguments that it's an excellent organizer for a small kitchen, experts believe it's high time to phase out this vintage piece. Stored items tend to fall between cracks or the middle partition can malfunction, making organization a struggle. Opt for pull-out shelving systems instead, like the VADANIA Left Swing Pull Out Organizer. They'll maximize your space and make your kitchen experience so much smoother!
2. Overcomplicated Corner Units
Those infamous corner cabinet black holes are no longer in vogue. They turn into storage nightmares, so instead, opt for clever corner drawers or LeMans corner units for higher-level organization and accessibility. We recommend checking out the Lemans II Set 2-Shelf.
3. Upper Cabinets
Goodbye, bulky upper cabinets! It's time to make high kitchen cabinets more accessible. Minimalist, airy spaces are what's trending, and traditional upper cabinets can feel dated in this new era. Instead, consider incorporating open kitchen shelving to breathe life into your kitchen and showcase your personal style.
4. Spice Racks
It's time to admit that spice racks are a messy, precarious way to store spices. Instead, spice drawers are the way forward. Using a tiered system in a drawer allows for easy access to small spice jars and a cleaner storage solution. Don't forget to decant your spices into identical containers to create a uniform and extra spice-y look in your spice drawer.
5. Hanging Pot Racks
Unless you're going for that industrial kitchen feel, pot racks are feeling antiquated. Instead, choose pull-out pot racks or vertical storage solutions within cabinets for a more modern look.
6. Storage-heavy Kitchen Islands
Modern kitchen islands with enclosed storage are becoming a relic of the past. Opt for multi-functional, modular islands with open shelving and pull-out drawers that can be moved around to suit your needs.
7. The Traditional Pantry
Goodbye, cluttered, overcrowded pantries! Pantry cabinets are the way to go for a cleaner, more organized approach to food storage. Integrate these with your kitchen cabinetry to keep your provisions in sight and within easy reach.
8. Lower Cabinets
Large, deep lower cabinets can be hard to reach or find what you need when you need it. The solution? Pull-out racks! Make your life easier with the LOVMOR 2-Tier Pull Slide Out Cabinet Organizer.
