13 Popular Kitchen Storage Ideas and What They Cost

For kitchen remodels a lot of focus goes into what’s seen on the surface, and rightly so. Cabinets, appliances, countertops, paint colors — these are the big players that make your kitchen look the way it does. But oftentimes it’s the more subtle gestures that will make your space truly functional and efficient.

Pantry systems, pullout shelving, appliance garages, wall-mounted pegboards and more have long been popular kitchen storage ideas on Houzz, because they can take a gorgeous kitchen to the next level. But you might ask, “Yeah, but what’s that going to cost me?”

With that in mind, here are 13 kitchen solutions to consider for your remodel or new construction — and how much they might set you back.

Kitchens by Meyer Inc.

1. Pullout platter storage. Entertaining often means getting out the stepladder to grab an oversize platter from the upper reaches of a cabinet or wall. Edo Rosenberg of Kitchens by Meyer came up with this solution, which integrates a pullout compartment in the end of a kitchen island. It commands a lot of space — it’s 30 inches wide and 24 inches deep — but houses large platters at arm’s reach in a divided, safe enclosure.

Cost: Rosenberg says this custom feature cost his client roughly $1,200.

2. Countertop appliance garage. If you have enough countertop space, tucking away regularly used small appliances, such as a toaster or blender, in a dedicated space behind closed doors will allow you to keep your counter free of clutter and cords. Kayron Brewer of Studio K B designed this nifty niche to include an outlet and LED lights so all the small appliances can be used right where they are.

Cost: Brewer estimates that this appliance garage ran $1,600 to $1,900, including the cabinetry, LED lighting strip, power and labor. However, she points out that the appliance garage was part of a full cabinet and construction package, so it’s tricky to price it separately.

3. Corner drawers. Move over, lazy Susan. You’re not the only clever solution for corners anymore. Full-depth corner drawers are helping homeowners get the most out of tricky spaces.

Cost: Commonly $125 to $225 per drawer (hardware only).

Dura Supreme Cabinetry

4. Shallow rollout. Never let a deep drawer swallow up your holiday cookie cutters or cupcake papers again. This slim rollout hovers above another drawer, sharing the same drawer face and hardware.

Cost: Jodi Tramontin of Dura Supreme Cabinetry shares that the cost of a rollout like this is $200 to $275; the feature must be added at the time you order new cabinets, as the company doesn’t offer it as a stand-alone item.

5. Rollout drawer for cleaning supplies. How often have you knocked over three bottles of cleaning products stockpiled beneath your kitchen sink to reach the one you wanted in the back? Instead, consider storing them in an easy-to-access steel rollout drawer with optional flexible magnetic organizer compartments for keeping them upright.

This stainless steel system by Dura Supreme has concealed undermount glides and is self-closing. Tramontin says it can be added to any of the company’s cabinets that are 12 to 48 inches wide. Rollouts between 39 and 48 inches wide have a center stile for support.

Cost: $400 to $1,000 for a new cabinet with one factory-installed 12- to 36-inch wide rollout; $525 to $1,300 for a new cabinet with two rollouts.

6. Pullout spice rack. Spice containers are usually a messy lot, getting knocked over in pantries and stuffed into wall-mounted racks that don’t easily accommodate different bottle sizes. Organizing them in a pullout spice rack that fits into your cabinetry will keep them in check.

Pullout spice racks are usually 3 to 12 inches wide and can be installed in base cabinets or upper cabinets. Many homeowners opt for two pullout spice racks to flank a cooktop or install them on opposite sides of a hood for symmetry.

Cost: About $200, but varies depending on the manufacturer, material finish and size.

7. End cabinet or island cookbook storage. The exposed end of a lower cabinet is a great place for sneaking in some cookbook shelf space, as in this example.

Dura Supreme Cabinetry

Cookbook cabinets are typically 15 to 36 inches wide, Tramontin says. She adds that almost any cabinet can be used for cookbook storage if you omit or remove the cabinet door and finish the interior.

Cost: About $300 to $600 for a 36-inch-high wall bookcase cabinet; $600 to $1,200 for a base bookcase cabinet.

DeVos Custom Woodworking

8. In-counter knife storage. If you don’t like the look of a freestanding knife block but want to keep knives close at hand, consider an in-counter knife slot. Austin, Texas, woodworker Daniel Vos of DeVos Custom Woodworking says he custom makes these slots in new wood countertops that he also fabricates.

A drop-in knife block is another option. It offers enclosed storage for knives within the confines of the knife block, which is inset into a kitchen counter or island. An existing piece can be retrofitted to include one, or one can be included in a new project, Vos says.

A custom knife block can be made out of any wood, either contrasting or matching the countertop. Slots for the knives are customized to the client’s specifications. (Vos says clients sometimes just send him their knives.) Vos then insets the custom-made block into a slightly smaller hole cut in the countertop, leaving the block overhang resting on the countertop for support. It’s raised ¼ to ¾ inch above the countertop level. The knife block configuration is also removable for cleaning.

Cost: A knife block and associated labor should run around $350. The cost for a knife slot like the one shown here is a $200 upcharge to the cost of a countertop.

9. Walk-in pantry. A kitchen with a walk-in pantry gets high marks on most folks’ dream lists. You just need to have the room. In lieu of a true walk-in, some kitchens have a closet that’s often poorly designed with scores of fixed shelves that don’t fit larger items, while space is wasted by disorganized smaller items. A professional closet designer or kitchen designer can help optimize your storage capacity and flexibility if you’re redoing or adding a pantry during a kitchen remodel.

The stunning pantry in this longtime popular photo on Houzz features a bevy of built-ins and pullout baskets, overhead lighting and an electrical outlet for small appliances. Generously sized at about 40 inches deep and 108 inches wide, the pantry can be closed off from the kitchen with the aid of two pocket doors.

Cost: Designer Marie Newton of Closets Redefined says the cost of this large pantry project totaled about $5,500.

10. Pantry system. If your kitchen can’t accommodate a walk-in pantry, consider a pantry system. Unfolding like origami, a pantry system offers unparalleled organization within a cabinet, so you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for quickly and easily. Many systems are available, with different configurations, heights and shelving options.

What I like about this one is that it’s rather simple and doesn’t have a lot of swinging components. Because its interior is oriented vertically and not horizontally, as in a traditional pantry, the visual barriers are eliminated and it’s easy to see items from top to bottom.

Cost: Varies, as different manufacturers offer an array configurations and sizes. Designed by Jensen Design for Tommy Hein Architects, the system (by Häfele) seen here cost about $2,500 installed.

Thompson Custom Homes

11. Library ladder. While a kitchen with lots of storage is usually seen as a good thing, often the storage is above our heads and out of reach. A kitchen library ladder may be your stairway to organizational bliss. Made of wood or metal, traditional or contemporary, a library ladder can blend with almost any kitchen style. Ladders are either a removable hook type or a permanently attached rolling style. Many styles can even be pushed against the wall when not in use so they don’t become a tripping hazard.

Cost: About $2,500 installed.

Davenport Building Solutions

12. Backsplash storage. While many folks see a backsplash as an aesthetic part of their kitchen design, it can also be useful for easy-access storage of utensils, knives, cookware and dishes. Hanging bars, magnetic strips, shelving and even pot-filling faucets can help make the most of your kitchen backsplash.

Cost: About $60 per hour for labor plus the cost of materials and systems.

13. Wall-mounted pegboard. Many homeowners have small kitchens with limited cabinet space. An unused wall, or even a portion of it, can be transformed into an efficient storage space. Wall-mounted pegboard protrudes minimally and is less likely to interfere with cabinet or refrigerator door swings. Pegboard is also a great addition to a pantry space. You can cover as much or as little of the wall in pegboard as you desire — you can even customize the shape of the pegboard. It’s endlessly flexible, because you can add, subtract or move the hooks around as you please to hang pots and pans or small kitchen utensils.

Cost: A 4-foot by 4-foot finished and installed pegboard (without hooks) should run about $75 at most. Plan to spend $10 to $40 per sheet of pegboard, depending on the thickness and size.

Kitchen of the Week: Bold Green and User Friendly in Connecticut

Soon after David Behrends and Alejandra Holway bought their contemporary Stamford, Connecticut, home in 2010, Hurricane Irene battered through the area, sending water into their walls. A major renovation was in order, and the couple decided to update their kitchen in the process.

While the kitchen was workable, they wanted a brighter space with better traffic flow and user-friendly storage. Working with designer Gianna Santoro of Deane | Rooms Everlasting, they used bold color and a smarter layout to create a place were they could cook daily meals, entertain and enjoy spending time together.

BEFORE: The kitchen had neutral flat-panel cherrywood cabinets that dominated the space. It also had what Santoro calls a “postage stamp” island and a banquette that impeded traffic. “It just wasn’t my style,” Holway says. Since the kitchen sits in a central location, it was important to improve the flow in and out of the space.

“After” photos by Jane Beiles

Removing the existing banquette improved traffic flow and allowed room for the large custom island, which has a Caesarstone top and a glossy green-apple lacquer base. “I knew I wanted that color,” says Holway. “It was Gianna who had the idea of toning things down with the cabinets so it’s not overwhelming. The bold green color makes me happy. The balance is thanks to her.”

The island includes the main sink, a dishwasher, a trash center and plenty of roomy drawers for glass containers with lids, an ice cream maker and water bottles. “The island serves as the main cleanup and prep zone,” says Santoro. “It’s a working island, and that’s why we didn’t include seating.”

A glass-front Sub-Zero and Wolf refrigerator enables the homeowners to clearly see what they have inside. Holway says a lot of people tried to talk them out of the purchase, but they love the look and don’t worry if they have lots of items on display. A separate freezer with panel fronts (also Sub-Zero and Wolf) is to the right of the appliance garage.

Three appliance garages with pull-down steel tambour doors store the family’s numerous small appliances, keeping them close by but out of sight and the counters clutter free. A small stepladder on wheels is cleverly tucked behind the toe kick for reaching items on the higher shelves.

Using the same green-apple lacquer featured on the island base for the inside of the appliance garage added a nice splash of color on the back wall of the kitchen. Meanwhile, the custom, easy-to-clean textured melamine cabinets with flushed recessed metal pulls offer a relief from the bold color of the lacquer. “The cabinets have a calm look,” says Holway. “I don’t like knobs, so I love the recessed pulls, and the drawers are big, sturdy and self-closing.”

Views can be enjoyed from the island or the nearby breakfast table with modern chairs, located by large windows that overlook the backyard.

A separate hygienic area in the kitchen is used for preparing raw-diet meals for the family’s two dogs and two cats. This clever “pet bar” and garden center includes a separate dishwasher (seen on the right in this photo, disguised to look like drawers), a prep sink, storage cabinets and drawers for pet food and accessories. The backsplash is acid-etched mirror. “It’s easy to clean and creates a muted reflective surface,” says Santoro.

Behrends and Holway combined their existing Viking cooktop and hood with a new Viking steam oven that they use to prepare poached fish and risotto. Long, lean drawers under the ovens store cookie sheets and platters, while roomy drawers with dividers under the cooktop hold pots, pans, lids and casserole dishes. Upper cabinets provide storage for dishes and tea and coffee supplies. The tall cabinet to the right of the hood offers a handy spot for spices.

“What makes a kitchen stand out is that it works for the specific client or clients,” says Santoro. “This kitchen is a nicer space to live in and an easier space to gather.”

The Most Popular Kitchen Storage Ideas of 2017

Kitchen storage is a favorite topic here on Houzz. We’re all familiar with the dilemma; we add more to our collection — new dishes, holiday serveware, specialty gadgets — and no matter how well we pack it in, more stuff means less available storage.

In come clever kitchen storage strategies. Every year designers offer new ideas and innovative twists on traditional storage. Last year’s most popular kitchen storage photos featured corner drawers, concealed trash cans and appliance garages. Among the photos uploaded in 2017 so far, Houzzers have favored pullout knife drawers, island storage and hidden wine bars. Here are the kitchen storage solutions that have been added to the most users’ ideabooks so far this year. Have you saved any of these photos yourself?

Neat Method San Diego

1. Walk-in pantry. Clear food storage containers, such as glass jars, and cookbooks organized by color helped make this pantry the most popular photo of 2017. Almost 120,000 users have saved this photo.

Katie Koentje, an independent organizing professional at Neat Method San Diego, says she created this pantry with kids in mind. “The client wanted her pantry to be kid friendly and also easy for her children to make healthy snack options,” she says. “We used kid-friendly containers so the kids could easily and safely access the food, and made sure that healthy snacks like raisins and other dried fruit were low enough for the children to reach.”

Koentje opted mostly for kid-friendly plastic containers, but she included glass jars for baking products and baskets for bagged items, like chips and bread.

2. Pullout knife drawer. Countertop knife blocks might be the go-to storage solution, but a custom pullout drawer is a creative alternative. So far more than 108,000 Houzzers have added this photo to their ideabooks.

Kitchen of the Week: Modern Conveniences and a Timeless Look

This Pennsylvania kitchen lives in a stone farmhouse that was built in the late 1700s, but it used to reside outside. “It was an old summer kitchen when the house was built,” says Kevin Ritter of Timeless Kitchen Cabinetry, a design-build company. As many who love old houses know, summer kitchens were detached sheds where the cooking went on in the warm months. In the days before air conditioning, that separation kept the entire house from becoming an oven. In this case previous owners had remodeled to connect the summer kitchen with the main house, creating a long, narrow, galley-like cooking space.

“The new homeowners wanted to keep the dimensions of the space and the original features,” Ritter says. Those included a walk-in fireplace, the closet door next to it and the windows. Ritter’s challenge was to incorporate those with items that early Americans couldn’t even imagine — a large refrigerator, a coffee station and a microwave — while maintaining the look and feel of the farmhouse kitchen.

Timeless Kitchen Cabinetry

In the long, narrow room, with windows and historic elements that had to stay in place, layout options were few. “The room kind of laid itself out,” says Ritter. “The homeowners wanted to have a table by the walk-in fireplace, which still works.”

The rest became a game of finishes. Because the space is outfitted with radiant heat, he chose a brick veneer for the floor. “We wanted something that would be a contrast to the cream-colored cabinets the clients wanted,” Ritter says. “We could have used reclaimed lumber, but that wouldn’t have been the best choice for the radiant heat. Brick was also used in the old houses.”

Ritter notes that brick veneer flooring isn’t for everyone. It must be sealed to protect it from stains. Even then, a bit more cleaning than usual is involved.

If you are going for a classic kitchen look, hiding the appliances behind cabinetry is key. Ritter tucked as many as possible behind new cabinets that he crafted to resemble furniture. Here a cabinet front can be pulled out to reveal a freezer; the refrigerator is above it.

Another classic touch is the hardware, made by a local blacksmith. “Rat-tail latches are our signature,” he says.

Timeless Kitchen Cabinetry

Another classic move is the island. Rather than creating a more modern eat-at counter, Ritter married an island with a traditional kitchen table. “To create the leg of this table, we copied and enlarged the leg of their antique dining table,” he says.

Timeless Kitchen Cabinetry

Soapstone is a classic choice for a kitchen counter or sink. This farmhouse sink is backed by a soapstone backsplash that is carved in a beadboard pattern. Soapstone also tops the island and kitchen table.

The kitchen’s cabinets were painted with milk paint from the Real Milk Paint Company, distressed by hand and then sealed with a clear coat finish for durability. Ritter used a custom red for the cabinet run behind the built-in table and some of the other woodwork. “This is like a very old red, the color of an old barn,” he says.

Timeless Kitchen Cabinetry

A coffee station and microwave oven are tucked behind cabinet doors.

Before launching Timeless Kitchen Cabinetry, Ritter worked with his father to build classic furniture inspired by utilitarian antiques. That taught him about the beauty of farmhouse pieces, and he brings the look to his modern cabinetry, seen in this kitchen.

Timeless Kitchen Cabinetry

“We really focus on the finishes,” he says. The goal is a distressed look that you would find on pieces from that period.

The new kitchen is a far cry from the original detached shed, but it is done in a style that works with the rest of the house.

How to Plan a Kitchen That Extends Outside

My clients are always asking me how to create that mysterious seamless connection between an indoor and outdoor kitchen, and vice versa. You may be thinking, “What on earth does that even mean? Does it mean I always leave my doors open? Or fill my kitchen with potted plants?”

Creating a true connection between indoor and outdoor areas goes a step further than those two ideas and enters the realm of clever design, especially when it comes to the kitchen. If planned correctly, a kitchen can be opened to untapped entertaining (and cooking) space. What is created is a larger kitchen area — and if planned carefully, an all-weather entertaining space.

Mihaly Slocombe

When deciding to connect your indoor space with your outdoor space, especially in terms of kitchen design, it is a good idea to make a list of what you want to achieve aesthetically and how you want the space to function. Do you want to have a space you can use all year round? How will you integrate the two spaces into one? What are the key aspects of the spaces you want to change, and what do you want to remain the same?

Webb & Brown-Neaves

Here are a few points to consider when connecting your indoor and outdoor space with a kitchen.

Danny Broe Architect

Let your kitchen counter cross boundaries. A kitchen counter is a place where we prepare, cook and serve food and mingle. So let’s consider continuing it into both spaces, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors, which creates an immediate connection to both spaces. There are a number of ways to ensure that your kitchen counter in your outdoor area will also be functional.

Danny Broe Architect

You have the option to use your bench as a bar space when you are entertaining.

Kim Duffin for Sublime Architectural Interiors

Or how about incorporating a fully decked-out kitchen with built-in barbecue, sink and wine fridge? Your countertop could continue out from an indoor island or along a shared wall.

K+ARchitects

Create invisible glass connections. Installing bifold, sliding or stacking doors and windows in your indoor kitchen will open up the spaces to each other whether they are closed or open. Even when the openings are closed, the clear glazing will create a visual connection between both areas. And when the weather is warm, the glass can be completely pushed back, allowing for the kitchen counter to be used outside.

Scale Architecture

Slim frames for windows and doors will help them visually disappear. You want the main focus to be the flow between the areas, not the framework. In return, be prepared for bountiful amounts of natural light and airflow that will take over the interior of your home. Summer, here we come!

Angus Mackenzie Architect

Blend materials to create flow. It’s preferable from a visual perspective to have the kitchen counter constructed from one material, which means if it continues outside, you’ll need to think about weather-appropriate surfaces. Engineered materials like Caesarstone and Quantum Quartz are suitable choices, as are concrete and stainless steel.

Swell Homes

The connection between materials doesn’t have to be only via the countertop. Think about your floor finish, which is the largest finish in both areas. Using the same tile but in different finishes is a perfect example of continuous material selection throughout. The indoor tile will need to be indoor-rated, whereas the outdoor one will need to be suitable for external application — though the color and pattern can still look the same.

Bagnato Architects

Make it a comfort zone. When it’s cold outside, you’ll need some form of heating. This can be portable gas heaters, which are perfect for entertaining outdoors; when not in use, they can be stored in the garden shed or garage. Or perhaps you could try a more permanent feature, like ceiling radiator panels, which are turned on and off with a switch and can stay in place all year round.

For the summer consider ceiling fans for a cooling breeze. Set these over the areas where you’ll spend the most time, such as the dining table.
