Kitchen Storage Solutions Hide and Keep

Large or small, a kitchen has to function well for you to get the most out of it, whether that means great meals, great entertaining or both. Accessibility is the main ingredient. And one element that is globally useful, whether you're a top chef or an ace sandwich maker, are storage features that pull out or pull up.

Designing a high-performance kitchen requires an in-depth knowledge of your household's unique needs and habits. In a large kitchen, you don't want to have to run from one end to the other while trying to prepare a meal. In a small kitchen, unpiling and unstacking is cumbersome and irritating when you're trying to get things done. Pull-up or pullout components have the power to increase your kitchen's usability tremendously.

Full-height rollout cabinets give you even more storage opportunities — and, in some cases, can serve as a pantry of sorts, if space is limited. Casters can provide additional support when needed.
