A new year brings a fresh start, and for many, a new and improved kitchen. Whether you’re planning a kitchen reno or simply want to make the heart of your home more functional for the year ahead, storage accessories should be a top consideration for your kitchen goals.

 

At Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, we're experts in functional kitchen designs - and we know that storage is more than just organizing the clutter in your kitchen. It’s about affordable, modern solutions that can reduce health risks, improve food prep and make cooking and cleaning more efficient.

 

With that, let's take a look at 5 must-have accessories for your kitchen!

 

Organization is Always Trendy

 

Fads and trends will come and go, but useful and organized spaces will remain timeless.

 

At Deslaurier, our cabinets and pantries are designed to be anything but standard. Which is why we offer customized storage accessories to help make everyday life easier and make the most out of every square foot in your kitchen.

 

If you’re ready to tackle your kitchen’s organization needs, then these 5 must have kitchen storage accessories are for you.

1. Roll-Out Cabinet Shelves

 

First on the list to achieving kitchen organization greatness is the roll-out cabinet shelves.

 

Bending down or kneeling on the hard floor to reach into the back of a lower cabinet only to pull out the wrong item is anything but functional. These roll-out cabinet shelves are the perfect solution to displaying your cabinet contents with ease. No more digging in a dark and compacted cabinet space for the baking powder.

 

They're great to utilize in a custom pantry or just implementing a couple in a custom base cabinet. Everything you need at your fingertips, with one roll.

2. Tray Dividers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tray dividers are both aesthetically pleasing and extremely functional, ensuring your cabinet design makes an efficient use of space and is protected from the scratches or dents that come with a chaotic mess of utensils.

 

Making sure everything has a place in your cabinets is an important and thoughtful element in kitchen design.  Aside from utensil trays, you can also opt to insert a spice tray divider, which will conveniently display your spices when the drawer is pulled out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Magic Corner Cabinet

 

Third on our list of must have kitchen storage accessories is something you may have heard of before: the Magic Corner unit.

 

This unit is made up of 4 trays which pull out of the corner cabinet and let you have extendable storage. They are useful for larger items like pots and pans and have limited moving parts which prevents them from breaking.

 

Although slightly more expensive than the similarly used Lazy Susan, the Magic Corner offers a better use of limited space as they provide more mobility and functionality; bringing all of the contents of the cabinet out of the darkness so you can see exactly what you have – or didn’t even know you had.

4. Orgaline Plate Holders

This must have kitchen storage accessory is a fan favorite among our clients who value accessibility in the kitchen. The Orgaline plate holder is an ergonomic alternative for storing dishes in lower cabinets, adding comfort and efficiency to your working space.

 

Dishes are securely contained providing protection and can be easily and safely transported from cabinet to table as the holders lift right out of the drawer.

 

Be sure to check with your designer or supplier to ensure your plate holders will fit the dimensions of your cabinets.

5. Wire Spice Pull Outs

 

 

The Wire Spice Pull Out is an efficient use of space for a narrow cabinet that you might want to add.

 

The front of the cabinet can be custom made to match the rest of your kitchen cabinets, and the inside will have chrome plated rails to add a modern polish.

 

This pull-out features full extension sides to provide complete stability and prevent spices from moving when pulling the system out of the cabinet. They're perfect for locating next to your stove or primary meal prep area!
