“Think about using under-utilized spaces in multi-func- tional ways,” says Yee.
Built-in benches for a dining nook double as seating and storage. Islands provide prep space, storage and a dining area. And, clever storage ideas for cookware and small ap- pliances help keep counters and work areas uncluttered.
“Upgrade or customize cabinets with smart solutions like pull-outs in tall or lower cabinets, lifts for less-used and heavier appliances, drawer dividers and trash/recycling cabinets,” Yee suggests.
A microwave can be installed under a counter, in a dedi- cated drawer or over a range — doubling as a vent/hood.
“If you’re fortunate enough to have a pantry, it can go in there, with the kids’ snacks,” she adds.
Yee recommends discarding duplicates of any item in your kitchen.
“More ‘stuff’ makes a kitchen difficult to organize,” she says. “And get rid of things you don’t use! If you hand-wash all your dishes, get rid of the dishwasher — or, if it’s a new construction, don’t install one if you know you won’t use it.”
Finally, don’t be afraid to start from scratch.
“There’s nothing like getting rid of everything and start- ing fresh, incorporating the items you want, efficiently and beautifully,” Yee says.
