Design Notes
An organized kitchen is the foundation of a smooth cooking experience, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—creating delicious meals. When designing your new kitchen, it’s essential to plan your space thoughtfully. This includes not only considering large items but also measuring smaller essentials, such as cutlery, plates, and platters, to ensure every item has a designated space. A well-organized kitchen isn’t just visually pleasing; it makes daily tasks more efficient and enjoyable.
With a wide variety of unique storage options available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. That’s where our expert design team at Greenbrook Design comes in. We’ll guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the best solutions tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. Whether it’s pull-out shelves, custom drawer dividers, or clever corner storage, we have a range of options to transform your kitchen into a well-oiled machine.
Here are a few 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, designed for specific items, can enhance the functionality of your kitchen. Groceries are easy to find and use, rather than being lost in the back of a cabinet and forgotten. This is an excellent option for using absolutely every inch of your kitchen and keeping it organized.
Making Use Of Every Space!
This homeowner wanted to utilize every available space, so we added panels on the end that open into shallow, adjustable shelves. These shelves are ideal for storing spices, multivitamins, and other small items that tend to get lost in larger pantries. This is one of the many ways to design custom cabinets that can help you organize your kitchen. Read a few tips from Wayfair.
Custom Drawers Can Organize Your Kitchen
Drawers can often provide the convenience of storage and the ease of reaching everything that is needed without having to dig forever. Greenbrook Design offers a wide range of options to suit every need and product imaginable for your kitchen.
Divide and conquer—taking it to the extreme. One of the things only a custom cabinetry company can provide is 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 the increasing availability of kitchen gadgets, more space is required to store these items for easy access. Over the past few years, these double-decker drawers have been incorporated into many of our clients’ kitchen designs. We use heavy-duty Blum Soft-Close Undermount Drawer Slides in all our drawers.
Silverware Dividers
Keep things in order with drawer organizers – Cluttered drawers can alter a kitchen’s functionality and efficiency. 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.
Walker WoodworkingThere are many elements that make up a room, including color, layout, and decor style, but one key ingredient can add depth and tone to a space: texture. Like many design tools, texture often becomes an afterthought when creating a plan for a new area in the home. Many might even think it has little impact on a design, but that is not true. Texture provides balance, visual weight, and warmth to your home, which is why it should be a part of the planning stage from the start. Texture is not limited to fabrics and furniture, but can also include wallpaper, glass, and plants. Let’s discuss adding texture to your home and creating a space that is inviting to the touch for everyone.
Walker Woodworking There are some that have remained constant, while others have had their brief moment to shine, but does color really matter? Is there a reason behind the colors we choose, and can they really have an influence on the home? The answer is yes, color is one of the most powerful design tools, which is why designers are taught color psychology in school. To better help you understand its importance, we thought it would be helpful to share some of this information with you.
Kitchen layouts are a critical part of the design process because they can help you maximize the use of your space. There are certain layouts that are better suited to a particular home, such as an apartment or a large open area, making it essential to understand the function and benefits of each. Selecting the right kitchen layout for your new home is crucial, as it is one of the most frequently used rooms in the house and must be tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. Let’s discuss what each layout is, which one works best for different home designs, and the benefits it can provide.
