Planning for an organized kitchen.

An organized kitchen helps things run smoothly so that you can focus more on creating great meals. When planning your new kitchen, take time to plan your space fully; even measuring cutlery, plates, and platters to create spaces within the kitchen so that everything has a place in which it belongs.

With so many unique storage options available to organize the kitchen, it can be hard to know where to start. Our expert design team at Greenbrook Design are here to help you sort through all of those choices and help you find the ones that are best suited to you and your specific lifestyle. Here are a few of the ways we can help you get the organized kitchen you have always dreamed of having.

Pullouts – both large and shallow

Vertical storage – the possibilities for pullouts go beyond traditional pantry-style drawers. These special decorative pullouts for specific items can boost the functionality of your kitchen. Groceries are easy to find and use instead of being lost in the back of a cabinet and forgotten.  This is a great option for using absolutely every inch of your kitchen and keeping it organized, to see more examples click here.

Making use of every space!

This homeowner wanted to make use of every possible space available so we added panels on the end that open into shallow adjustable shelves. This is ideal from storing spices to multivitamins and other small items that tend to get lost in larger pantries. This is one of the many ways you can design custom cabinets to help you organize your kitchen. Read a few tips from Wayfair.

Custom drawers can organize your kitchen.

Drawers can often provide the needed convenience of storage and ease of reaching everything that is needed without having to dig forever. Greenbrook Design offers a host of options that suit every need and product you could think of for a kitchen.

Divide and conquer – taking it to the extreme. One of the things only a custom cabinetry company can provide – custom drawers. Whether it is a custom utensil drawer or deep drawers to fit all of the pots and pans there is a drawer to fit every need. See an example of this in one of our recent projects.

Double Decker Drawers

This is always a client favorite!  Double-decker drawers are most often used to store utensils. With more and more kitchen gadgets available, more space is needed to store these items for easy access. These double-decker drawers have been used in many of our client’s kitchen designs over the last few years.  We use heavy duty Blum Soft Close Undermount Drawer Slides in all of our drawers.

Silverware Dividers

Keep things in order with drawer organizers – cluttered drawers can alter the functionality and efficiency of a kitchen.  All of our new kitchens come with a complimentary silverware tray divider to help you organize your kitchen. This is how you make use of all the space in a large drawer.  Keeping your silverware organized is a must.  Sometimes one is not enough, these are easy and inexpensive to add to your drawers during the design phase of your kitchen.
