Kitchen guides

A small kitchen has more storage than it looks — under the sink, inside cabinet doors, under shelves and on the wall. These guides compare real product dimensions and specs so you can use every one of those spaces without crowding the counter.

A small-kitchen storage plan, step by step

  1. Add a pantry: a slim freestanding pantry cabinet gets food off the counter.
  2. Clear under the sink: a pull-out trash can and pull-out organizers fit around the pipes.
  3. Stop stacking pans: a pot and pan organizer stands pans and lids on edge.
  4. Use the doors: cabinet door organizers and spice racks use the inside of doors.
  5. Fill the gaps: under-shelf baskets add storage between shelves.
  6. Free the counter: a small or over-the-sink dish drying rack takes less space.
