Top 5 Storage Solutions for Kitchens and Baths: Taming the Chaos
Let’s be honest — no matter how beautiful your kitchen or bathroom is, clutter has a way of sneaking in. From overflowing utensil drawers to beauty products scattered across countertops, these high-traffic spaces often become magnets for everyday chaos. The good news? Thoughtful, well-designed storage solutions can turn even the busiest kitchen or bath into a serene, organized oasis.
At Modern Builders Supply (MBS Interiors), we believe that great design starts with smart functionality. Whether you're remodeling your kitchen, refreshing your bathroom, or just looking for a few ways to streamline your space, these top five bathroom & kitchen organization ideas will help you regain control (and maybe even find that missing lid or lipstick).
1️⃣ Pull-Out Pantry Cabinets
Forget digging through deep shelves for that elusive spice jar. A pull-out pantry brings everything into view with smooth-gliding shelves that tuck neatly away when not in use. Perfect for narrow spaces or small kitchens, these vertical storage solutions make the most of tight corners and awkward gaps.
MBS Interiors Tip: Explore cabinetry lines at Modern Builders Supply that offer customizable pull-out options, allowing you to adjust shelf heights to fit everything from canned goods to cooking oils.
2️⃣ Drawer Organizer & Inserts
Kitchen and bathroom drawers tend to be clutter hotspots. The fix? Custom drawer organizers designed to fit your specific needs. From silverware and utensil trays to makeup dividers and grooming tool holders, these simple add-ons instantly create order.
Pro Tip: Look for MBS cabinetry lines featuring built-in drawer insert options, or add aftermarket inserts that complement your existing cabinetry. The result: no more rummaging for that elusive peeler or mascara wand.
3️⃣ Floating Shelves
When storage is limited, go vertical. Floating shelves add both function and style, offering a home for pretty glassware, everyday dishes, or spa-worthy bathroom essentials. They keep your most-used items within reach while freeing up precious cabinet and countertop space. At MBS, we provide decorative Ekena shelves which you can find here.
Style Idea: Pair wood floating shelves with mixed metal brackets for a modern yet timeless look. Check with your local MBS Interiors showroom for shelf and hardware options to match your space.
4️⃣ Under-Sink Organizers
The space beneath sinks is notoriously tricky — awkward pipes, limited access, and a tendency to become a catchall for cleaning supplies. Enter the under-sink organizer. Whether it’s a two-tier pull-out, adjustable caddy, or sliding basket system, these clever tools turn chaos into order.
MBS Interiors Tip: When selecting new vanities or cabinetry for your bath or kitchen, ask about integrated under-sink storage solutions available through Modern Builders Supply’s cabinetry lines. Many offer built-in options designed specifically for tricky plumbing layouts.
5️⃣ Built-In Appliance Garages
Countertop clutter instantly makes a kitchen feel crowded. Appliance garages — specialty cabinets designed to tuck away toasters, coffee makers, and blenders — keep small appliances out of sight but easily accessible. Whether it’s a roll-top door or lift-up panel, these features are a favorite in modern, organized kitchens.
