#Great Kitchen Storage Ideas

Storage Strategy

The secret to a clutter-free kitchen is having storage in all the right places. Designer Matthew Quinn considers how families use a kitchen and places pullout pantries and work and serving stations where they’re most convenient.

1. Coffee station Walnut drawers below the Miele coffee machine organize spoons, tea, and sweeteners. Cups stand in the pantry to the left of the coffee machine. Another pantry to the right holds packaged coffee capsules for the coffeemaker.

2.  Pet-feeding station A quartzite slab is tucked in a niche under the island and fitted with drop-in bowls.

3. Cooking utensil storage Drop-in bins keep spoons, whisks, and other utensils handy. A pullout pantry on the other side of the La Cornue range holds oils and seasonings.

4. Appliance garage When not in use the Wolf steam oven, television, and dishes are concealed behind retractable pocket doors in a cabinet to the left of the refrigerator.
