Maximize Your Kitchen’s Potential with Smart Cabinet Accessories


A well-designed kitchen isn’t just about beautiful finishes and stylish cabinetry—it’s about functionality. The right storage solutions can transform your space from cluttered and frustrating to streamlined and stress-free. At Kitchens By Design, we believe that when everything has a place, your kitchen truly works for you. Let’s explore some of the most practical cabinet accessories that help you stay organized, save time, and bring efficiency back to your daily routine.


The Power of Hidden Storage


Have you ever wished you could instantly find the spice you need or tuck away the clutter of baking sheets and foil rolls? Modern kitchens demand more than surface beauty; they thrive on hidden efficiency. Accessories such as fillers, pull-outs, and dividers ensure every inch of cabinetry is used wisely, giving you more space without the need for a larger kitchen footprint.


Filler Spice Storage


The 3” filler with soft-close slides (shown on page 2) proves that even the smallest spaces can work hard for you. Designed with ball-bearing slides, this slim pull-out offers functional spice storage that fits neatly between cabinets. No more rummaging through crowded cupboards—your favorite seasonings are instantly accessible with a quick pull.


Tray, Foil, and Wrap Holders


Large baking sheets and platters are notorious for creating clutter. That’s why the tray/foil/wrap holder is a must-have accessory. This cleverly designed pull-out (page 2) stores bulky items upright, with a removable center divider to accommodate taller pieces. Its soft-close slides ensure smooth operation while keeping everything neatly in place.


Multi-Purpose Pull-Outs


For additional flexibility, the maple pull-out with adjustable shelves (page 2) is a game-changer. Chrome rails provide extra security, while full-extension slides allow you to access even the items at the very back. Think canned goods, boxed foods, or small kitchen gadgets—everything is organized and within easy reach.


Accessories that Make Everyday Tasks Easier


Kitchens should be about enjoying the cooking process, not struggling with storage challenges. With a few thoughtful upgrades, you can eliminate common frustrations and enjoy a smoother workflow.


Mixer Lift Mechanism


If you own a stand mixer, you know how heavy and awkward it can be to move. Enter the mixer lift (page 3), a heavy-duty solution that raises your mixer out of the cabinet with ease. The soft-close mechanism locks it into place, so you can start baking without lifting a finger. Once you’re finished, simply glide it back into the cabinet—no more wrestling with bulky equipment on your countertops.


Adjustable Chrome Pull-Out Basket


Groceries, jars, and packaged snacks often disappear into the depths of lower cabinets. The adjustable pull-out basket (page 3) solves this problem by bringing everything to you. It glides out smoothly, ensuring full visibility of your items, even those at the very back. Designed to fit a variety of cabinet openings, this chrome basket is both sturdy and sleek.


U-Shaped Tray Divider


Organization is all about having the right tools, and the U-shaped tray divider (page 3) delivers just that. Whether it’s baking pans, lids, or cutting boards, this chrome accessory creates vertical sections that keep everything upright and orderly. No more clattering piles or digging through uneven stacks.


Smart Solutions for Corner Spaces


One of the trickiest areas in any kitchen is the corner cabinet. Without the right accessory, valuable square footage often goes wasted. Luckily, there’s a timeless solution.


The Corner Cabinet Lazy Susan


The corner kidney-shaped lazy Susan (page 3) uses natural maple construction and independently rotating shelves. This means you can spin the shelf to access even the pasta jar tucked all the way at the back. By turning hard-to-reach corners into efficient storage zones, a lazy Susan ensures that no space goes unused.


Why These Details Matter


A kitchen remodel is a big investment, and homeowners often focus heavily on cabinet style, countertops, and lighting. But what truly determines how your kitchen functions day to day are the small details—the organizational accessories hidden behind cabinet doors.


  • Saves Time: Imagine cooking dinner and instantly reaching for the right spice or baking tray without searching.
  • Reduces Stress: When every item has a designated place, clutter disappears and cleanup becomes effortless.
  • Protects Your Investment: Soft-close slides and high-quality construction prevent wear and tear, extending the life of your cabinets.
  • Maximizes Space: Even the narrowest gaps or awkward corners become functional storage areas.


These innovations may seem small individually, but together they create a kitchen that feels intuitive and enjoyable to use.
