Why It’s Worth It: Kitchen Organization Systems
When we discuss custom cabinets, you likely think of getting the cabinet style, size, and color of your dreams, integrating it into a well-planned design. It provides all of the imagined, intended benefits to your daily quality of life, as well as the value of your home.
However, function is always as important as aesthetics. This goes much further than the smooth swing of an exceptionally designed door panel. Maximizing your space with intelligent storage solutions can simplify daily upkeep and even save you money.

Fast facts: The benefits of an organized kitchen
Implementing a kitchen organization system just makes life easier. Here’s why it’s worth clearing out and starting over:
- Less food waste–Organization systems make items more visible and accessible, heightening the chances they’re used before expiring.
- Makes shopping efficient–The same visibility and accessibility benefits save you money in-store, as you’re more certain of what’s currently on hand.
- Enjoy cooking–Precise placement is tailored to your kitchen workflow, streamlining the time it takes to prepare meals.
- Easier cleanup–Kitchen organization systems eliminate cluttered, messily stored items that make keeping surfaces clean and tidy time-consuming and labor intensive.
- Greater safety–Effective organization reduces accidents like trip hazards and also creates an environment less hospitable to pests, improving food safety.
Finally, you pay for your square footage–use it! Custom organization solutions help you maximize what you get out of your home investment.
Custom kitchen organization system solutions
You’ve purchased the coordinating glass jars and tin can dispenser/organizers. Here’s how to take kitchen organization to the next level and get every benefit we discussed above.
Pullout shelving
The depth of a stock cabinet shelf just isn’t conducive to keeping inventory or items neatly arranged. Lower cabinets often have minimal shelving (if any), leading to a jumbled pile of goods.
Custom pullout shelving installed inside of cabinets can triple your useful storage space. Fitted with compartments to suit the contents, they remain functional for the life of your cabinets.
Cutting corners
Navigating corners has long been a design feature homeowners struggle with as there’s rarely a stock solution. Dark, deep, or just awkwardly angled, storage is notoriously messy here.
One answer is a kitchen organization system that includes unfolding or roll-out shelving customized to the area’s dimensions. Shelving can even be fixed to the back side of the cabinet door, reducing the effort it takes to keep corners useful and tidy.
Use every inch
You’ve seen it on every list of kitchen organization tips: go vertical. That four-inch-wide blank spot next to your stove or dishwasher may be prime placement for vertical pull-out storage.
Cooking tools, spices, or your favorite niche kitchen gadgets stay clean and organized in their custom, dedicated home.
