Kitchen Organization: Everything in its Place
As you well know, an organized kitchen makes cooking a pleasure rather than a chore. Even if your clients aren’t quite ready for a full kitchen remodel, you can help them organize their kitchens with furniture and accessories from Pottery Barn that keep clutter at bay and put essential tools within reach.
For example, the beautiful Cameron Buffet & Hutch expands kitchen storage without the fuss and expense of built-in cabinetry. Inspired by an English country cupboard, these two pieces have raised-panel doors and sides and are topped with two rows of egg-and-dart molding. The weathered Vintage White finish is warm and welcoming. Behind the buffet’s two doors a single adjustable shelf can hold dishware, cookware or serving pieces. The hutch adds a second adjustable shelf behind tempered-glass doors that allows you to both store and display your best kitchenware.
On a smaller scale, the Hamilton Reclaimed Wood Marble-Top Kitchen Table provides extra storage as well as another work surface. Made from reclaimed pine and finished by hand with a wax finish, this sturdy table features one fixed and one adjustable shelf as well as a towel rack and hooks on the sides to keep everything close at hand. Four locking wheels allow you to move the table as necessary.
Even adding a few well-designed accessories can create a place for kitchen equipment and pantry items. For example, if drawer space is tight, hang the Cucina Wall-Mount Kitchen Roll Organizer on a wall to store paper towels and kitchen papers. Make the most of unused walls and corners with other wall-mounted accessories like the Pot Rack for cookware, the Kitchen Calders Wall Organizer for baking supplies or the Holman Entertaining Shelves for wine bottles and stemware. Behind the Door Wire Storage provides shelving for cookbooks and smaller items.
Countertop accessories like the Counter Spice Rack or 3-Tier Basket Stand consolidate items and maximize vertical storage. Containers like the Rhodes Kitchen Crock or Rhodes Utensil Caddy store cooking implements or utensils while decorative canisters like the Breakfast Glass Canisters are ideal for cereals or baking ingredients.
Simple baskets and trays from the Jacquelyne collection could be used to hold items like recycling or transport dishware from one room to another. Versatile and attractive, these woven items compliment a wide range of styles from contemporary to traditional.
