Storage that makes your kitchen feel bigger (without adding square footage)
Cabinets aren’t just boxes—they’re a system. The highest ROI storage upgrades:
- Deep drawers for pots/pans (more usable than lower cabinets)
- Pull‑out trash/recycling near the prep zone
- Tray dividers for baking sheets and cutting boards
- Vertical storage for platters and serving pieces
- A real pantry strategy: either a walk‑in or a tall cabinet pantry with roll‑outs
- Appliance garages / beverage stations to keep counters clean
Pro tip for Encinitas lifestyles: plan for beach life. A small “drop zone” (even inside a pantry) for water bottles, sunblock, dog gear, and extra towels can keep your kitchen from becoming the catch‑all.
