Looking through various websites and scouring the internet for tips, tricks, pics and ideas has been fun for the last couple of weeks…so here are a few tips I’ve found that focus directly on Organizing your new Ikea Kitchen :

Storage:

  1.  Always get a Pull-out pantry

A pull-out pantry makes it easy to find and reach everything in deep cabinets. Make sure there is enough space  so you can reach in from both sides. Ikea has wonderful systems that are designed to fit into their cabinets specifically.

  1. Store heavy pots and pans near where you cook 

Use drawers or pull-out wire baskets to put them within easy reach. The options for cupboard sizes depends on the size and design of your kitchen. Our designers can help you decide where everything will fit to the best advantage.

  1. Utilize space in corner cabinets

A corner lazy susan will help make the most of available space in the corners…you can also use lazy susans in a walk in pantry for smaller items or appliance storage. Below is a space saving lazy susan that just tucks into a deep cupboard without wasting an inch!

  1. Use the space under your oven

Under-oven drawers are convenient for storing trays,  pans and longer items. If you have a wall oven (or two) then having a deep drawer with a rack that allows you to store your baking dishes within easy reach…and everything has a place.

5. Use the space between shelves

Shelf inserts in different depths make smart use of space. Keeping smaller items that are used daily on multi level shelves – like coffee and sugar near the coffee pot –

6.  Maximize your storage space in cabinets and closets

A combination of door-mounted baskets and shallow shelves make efficient use of space and create a good overview of stored items.
