FAQs

What to put in a narrow kitchen cabinet? ›

Ideally, you'd reserve deep and narrow kitchen cabinets for those items that are best stored vertically. Baking trays, chopping boards, plates, even pan lids and long utensils are easier to access when placed upright and take up a lot less room.

Place dishes, glassware, and food on the lower shelves of the upper cabinetry. Items only used occasionally such as pitchers, platters, serving bowls, and cookbooks should be kept on the highest shelves of the upper cabinetry section.

For small kitchens, opting for lighter cabinet shades can work wonders. Whites, creams, and light pastels reflect light, making the space more open and airy.

Galley Kitchens

A galley kitchen consists of two runs of units, and acts as a great solution to long and narrow spaces. It includes both base and wall cabinets, and a walk way that runs through the middle.

Store the items that you use every day, like plates, bowls, mugs, glasses, and silverware, within arm's reach. For most people, that means the lowest shelves in upper cabinets and the highest drawers in base cabinets.

Go with Light Colors

Light colors are more reflective than dark colors and they will make your kitchen appear bigger as well as more open and airy. Light blues, greens, or pale yellows are other great colors to make your space look larger than life.

Choose a small cabinet in the kitchen to store small appliances and tools for a specific task. Bulkier appliances like juicers can sit on a lower shelf, then put something lighter, like a citrus squeezer, in a drawer just above it.

And if you're wondering, “How do I decide where to put things in my kitchen?,” here's a good rule of thumb for using cabinet space effectively: Upper cabinets: food, spices, glassware, dishes. Lower cabinets: larger serving pieces, small kitchen appliances, pots, pans, mixing bowls, baking sheets, cutting boards.

How do you organize deep narrow cabinets? ›

Try to contrast dark units with lighter worktops and kitchen flooring, to avoid overwhelming a small space. While too much detail can be overpowering, incorporating a feature wall or a patterned backsplash is a great way to add depth to a galley kitchen.

Style open shelving with dishware and objects in neutral tones to create a soothing and uncluttered feel. Soften a minimalist kitchen by adding a vase of flowers or a small stack of cookbooks to the counter below, and add a mini vase on the shelves to tie it together, like this space from Cathie Hong Interiors.
