The first step to figuring out what kind of kitchen storage items will benefit your kitchen the most is to take a look around your kitchen and make a note of all the problem areas, from the biggest, most glaring problems down to the smallest issues. Now take note of how much space you have to work with. If you have a spacious kitchen, your kitchen storage needs are probably of an organizational nature, and the more space you have, the more options you have for adding things, like kitchen storage furniture. For space-challenged kitchens, your storage needs are probably much greater. Your biggest need will be efficiency.

Efficiency solutions in kitchen storage
For cozy kitchens where space efficiency is the key, there are many great options. A hanging pots and pans rack is visually pleasing, space-saving and convenient. Get rid of your bulky knife block and pare down your utensil drawer with a wall-mounting magnetic knife rack. A slim corner-shelving unit for holding organized kitchen canisters full of utensils or dry goods can significantly reduce clutter in drawers and cupboards.

Buffet table: A buffet table can be placed in the kitchen or dining room and used for storage and serving. It can simply be a counter and legs, providing a place to display appetizers or cocktails for a small party, food for a buffet-style dinner or just about anything else that needs to be on display for any occasion. Buffets may also have drawers or cabinet kitchen storage under the counter. If it has additional storage above the counter, it's usually called a hutch.
Butler: A butler is the formal name for a rolling kitchen cart with worktop, drawers, shelves and a towel rack. In the kitchen, a butler is an additional work and storage space; in the dining room, it's a rolling buffet. If it doesn't have wheels, it may be called a kitchen island.

Cabinet/drawer organizer: Cabinet and drawer organizers can help whip small kitchen areas into shape. Cabinet and drawer organizers are shelves or tray units designed to subdivide cabinets or drawers -- particularly useful for storing large numbers of small kitchen items like cups, spice bottles, cooking utensils and salt and pepper shakers.
Lazy susan: A lazy susan is an excellent way to create space within cabinets and cupboards. A lazy susan is a rotating shelving unit often with multiple levels. The rotating feature allows you to access items in the back of the cupboard without having to reach in and grope around for what you're looking for. Simply spin the lazy susan to bring items from the back of the cupboard to the front. The multiple levels double the amount of surface area available in any cabinet. This is especially helpful for spices, canned goods and even vitamins and supplements.
Pot rack: A pot rack is a metal or wooden rack from which pots and pans are hung. Pot racks are usually ceiling-mounted over the stove or island, but they may also be mounted on the wall. Wall-mounted pot racks are the perfect solution for kitchens with high or vaulted ceilings.
Utility cart: A utility cart or kitchen cart is a rolling cart with shelves. Utility carts provide both a work surface as well as extra storage space.

Common questions about kitchen storage
What's the best way to store wine?
There are various ways to store wine. For short-term storage, a small wood or chrome countertop or tabletop wine rack is both convenient and easy. If you plan on building a wine collection or you simply don't have enough spare counter space for a wine rack, a few shelving units or a temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cooler are nice to have. If you don't have a wine cooler to control the environment around your wine, store your wine in a well-ventilated, dark area with a steady temperature. The optimal temperature for wine storage is 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit with the humidity at 50 to 80 percent. Wine bottles should be stored horizontally on their sides to prevent their corks from drying out and allowing air inside the bottle.
