The number one regret among homeowners in Boulder, CO and nationwide who recently renovated\u00a0their kitchens<\/a>\u00a0was insufficient storage and organizational tools.\u00a0 We highly recommend to homeowners in Boulder, CO to plan for adequate storage because a well-designed kitchen is an organized kitchen. A good starting point is to measure and inventory the kitchenware that you use most often and that cater to your lifestyle and family needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An almost endless array of options is available to store cookware, food, utensils, countertop appliances (blenders, mixers, etc.), recycling containers and so on. The first step in maximizing storage is to assess what currently exists in your kitchen. Inventory and measure your cookware, bakeware, kitchen tools, storage containers, cutlery, knives, utensils, gadgets, and countertop appliances and estimate frequency of use. This is a great time to purge items that you never use too. Space permitting, items that you use infrequently or even as little as once a year (the large roasting pan for Thanksgiving turkey) can be relegated to upper\u00a0kitchen cabinets<\/a>\u00a0or to other rooms in the home to open up prime real estate for the utensils and equipment that you use most frequently.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you identify your most-used items, you\u2019ll empower your kitchen designer to make your kitchen function so much more effectively than it would with standard sized drawer widths and depths. A combination of drawer cabinets and shelf cabinets can be customized to your individual preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a drawer at the top of the cabinet combined with shelving underneath allows for storage of smaller, frequently used items in the more reachable drawer, while the shelf storage accommodates larger and less frequently used items, such as food processors and stand mixers. Not only does this approach save time in preparing meals, it also is easier on your back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
