Planning a modern kitchen? Here are 5 organization ideas for you.

Modern kitchen design should primarily align with the owner's needs and preferences. However, if you aim for a modern look, here are some ideas to help you achieve that transformation.

1. Opt for drawers in base cabinets whenever feasible.

It will maximize space and convenience in your kitchen.

When it comes to optimizing space and ensuring ease of use, drawers for base cabinets are top-notch. They offer a superior way to keep your cookware, dishes, and even pots and pans neatly organized. Deep drawers, in particular, provide the perfect storage solution for these items.

One key factor to consider is choosing drawers with full extension. This is especially important when storing small items that may become concealed and challenging to access if the drawer isn't fully extended.

While it may not always be feasible to use drawers due to kitchen configuration limitations, incorporating drawers into your design brings superior organization and easy accessibility compared to traditional deep cabinets.

2. Go frameless.

Frameless cabinets offer greater accessibility and storage space, enabling larger drawer boxes. Their lack of a center style provides full interior access. 

Even in large kitchens, it's common to struggle with space for large plates and small appliances. Frameless cabinets can help avoid these issues.

 

3. Hide small kitchen appliances.

Are your kitchen countertops always cluttered? Small appliances, like blenders and toasters, are challenging to keep organized, especially with limited cabinet space. When designing a modern kitchen, it's essential to plan ahead for storing these small essentials. Here are some options:

In addition to large base cabinets, consider a lift-up appliance garage to store the smallest appliances.

 

If your kitchen layout includes a corner cabinet, make the most of the available space by using specialized hardware designed for blind corners.

You may also want to explore the option of roll-out shelves. These shelves fully extend, allowing you to divide your large drawers or cabinets into more manageable sections.

4. Consider a built in fridge.

Built-in refrigerators are designed to seamlessly integrate with your kitchen cabinetry, creating a harmonious and sleek look. They sit flush with the counter depth, making them appear as an unobtrusive part of your modern kitchen design. You can choose between standard finishes like stainless steel or have them covered with custom panels matching your kitchen decor, resulting in a sophisticated and modern aesthetic.

What distinguishes built-in models is their exceptional durability and extended lifespan. While regular refrigerators typically last 7-10 years, built-in models are engineered to higher standards, often enduring two to three times longer.

5. Cover all appliances behind panels.

Applying a similar strategy to other kitchen appliances can significantly enhance your kitchen's appearance. Opt for panel-ready versions of dishwashers, freezers, and wine and beverage coolers. This choice seamlessly blends these appliances with your cabinetry, providing a sleek and cohesive look without disrupting the visual flow of your kitchen.
