Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just trying to get breakfast together for the kids, you’ve probably wished that you had more storage space in your kitchen. Focusing on your kitchen during a general remodel can yield you more space if you’re strategic about it. Here are a couple ideas to maximize the place in your home where the magic really happens. 

Build a Multipurpose Island

Of course, the counter space on top of an island is great, but like the ocean, the real treasure is just below the surface. Multipurpose islands typically have plenty of seating to accommodate diners as well as ample cabinets and drawers beneath the counter to increase your storage space. The most versatile islands include features like deep sinks and built-in microwaves, making them one of the most sought-after destinations in modern kitchens. 

Increase cabinet height

Even if your kitchen can’t hold more cabinets, you can likely work with the ones you have to increase their height and get some more space out of them. Extending your cabinets all the way to the ceiling is a great way to use that empty space and give yourself more space for dishes, food, and other kitchen staples. You can customize your cabinets by opting to add doors or keeping them open-face. 

Install a Counter-depth Refrigerator

You might not realize how much precious space you’re losing by having a free-standing refrigerator vs. one that’s flush with the counter. These types of refrigerators are ideal for smaller kitchens because they free up space on the floor and offer your kitchen an overall sleeker, more modern look. Plus, with counter-depth refrigerators, you can open the door without worry about bumping into something or someone.
