#Kitchen Accessories – Top 5 Ideas to Increase Kitchen Functionality!

Hard-working cabinets

Kitchen accessories can provide you with innovative ways to make your kitchen a more functional space. Your kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home, as it is where all of the meals are cooked, family members gather to talk about their day, and arts and crafts are done at the table. You need your kitchen to look beautiful and inviting, but it also needs to be functional. Here are the top 5 kitchen accessory ideas that will help make your kitchen more usable and organized.

Kitchen Accessories Idea #1: Add a Lazy Susan

A Lazy Susan is a tray that rotates for maximum ease of use. These can be built into a kitchen cabinet giving you more space and functionality. A Lazy Susan is great for storing seasonings, napkins, kitchen accessories and other items that need to be accessed easily. Many people place these rotating trays on their kitchen table or inside of their pantry.

Kitchen Accessories Idea #2: Drawer Organizers

Drawer organizers can be built into your drawers to help separate silverware, kitchen accessories, and other utensils with ease. Without drawer organizers, your kitchen accessories will be jumbled together and things are harder to find. During a kitchen remodeling project, you could also have these kitchen accessories / organizers built-in for ease of use.

Kitchen Accessories Idea #3: Recycling Bins

Adding a recycling bin to your pantry is a great way to save space and to easily collect items to be recycled. During any kitchen remodeling project, you can have a bin built-in directly to your kitchen, either in the panty or in a kitchen cabinet. Then you have the bin that you need, but it does not take up valuable space in your kitchen.

Kitchen Accessories Idea #4: Kitchen Cabinet Pull Out Shelving

Kitchen cabinet pull out accessories and shelving make getting to the things at the back of cabinets or pantry easier. Instead of stretching your arms as far as they can go to reach kitchen accessories in your cabinet, all you have to do is pull the shelf out and grab what you need. You will be more inclined to use the storage space that you have in the far back areas, adding even more functionality to your kitchen.

Kitchen Accessories Idea #5: Tip-out Trays

Tip out trays utilize the space in front of the sink, above the lower cabinet. These small trays / accessories are the ideal spot to store sponges and other items you need close to the sink. Cut down on the clutter surrounding the sink with these useful kitchen accessories.
