The special features listed below are some of the more popular options you should consider to make your custom space more useful.
THE LAZY SUSAN
While its name does not convey much confidence, this innovative accessory works hard to maximize your kitchen storage when your tools are just out of reach. You should consider one of the options below for your corner cabinets and cluttered pantries:
D-SHAPED
The D-Shaped Lazy Susan is flat on one side which allows for a door to close against it. The “D” shape maximizes usable space in diagonal wall and base cabinets. This type of shelf can be used in standard pantry and 45-degree cross corner cabinets. Available in a variety of materials including wood, metal and plastic.
FULL ROUND
The Full-Round Lazy Susan is the most versatile version of this accessory. The full-round can be used in just about every cross corner or standard pantry cabinet. While it does not offer the space efficiency that others may have, it can be installed by even the most novice do-it-yourselfers.
HALF ROUND
Designed exclusively for use in blind corner cabinets, the half-round or half-moon lazy susan will help you access hard to reach items stored up to 42” deep in the corner. Half-round lazy susans come in a variety of materials and sizes to fit most cabinet styles.
PIE-SHAPED
Used exclusively in L-shaped corner cabinets, lazy susans of the kidney variety are notched on one side to allow for a center-hinged L-door to close. The lazy susan spins independently while the doors swing wide open allowing for maximum cabinet access and storage space.
ORGANIZERS
BUILT-IN TRASH/RECYCLING
Waste cans and recycling centers can be hidden in base cabinets of just about any width. Your cabinet designer can provide a range trash storage options from attaching a small basket to the back of a cabinet door to a full four can pull out system.
BASE CABINET PULL-OUTS
Pull out systems are available for just about any special application. These systems are built to extend the full contents of your cabinet into the workspace, giving you ease of access so you don’t have to shuffle through your entire kitchen inventory to find one item.
WINE RACKS
Cabinet-mounted wine racks offer convenient storage for your favorite table wines. Traditionally available in a diagonal lattice pattern or conventional cross-grid, wine racks can be built to fit any size cabinet or storage space.
SINK FRONT TIP TRAY
A tip tray is the perfect way to take advantage of the lost space between your cabinet and your sink. These cabinet-faced organizers are perfect storage for sponges and scrubs. The easy access keeps your countertop clean and accessories close at hand.
STEMWARE RACKS
Stemware racks provide safe, convenient storage for delicate glassware. Available in aluminum, chromed steel and wood varieties. Stemware racks can be custom-finished to match virtually any cabinet style.
SPICE RACKS
The spice-savvy chef needs to have easy access to their full stock without shuffling through deep cabinets. Spice cabinets commonly feature doormounted, slide-out, and tiered shelf racks. Tiered drawer inserts have also become popular for easy spice storage at waist level.
CHINA DISPLAY RACKS
A China display can be both practical and decorative, providing easy access to your dinnerware. Traditionally available as slatted wood inserts, they can be painted or stained to match any cabinet style.
