Kitchen Regret #1: Not Enough Storage (And How to Avoid It)

If there's one thing we hear from homeowners who’ve lived through a remodel before, it's this:
"I wish I had planned for more storage."

At Woodsman Kitchens & Floors, we believe storage should never be an afterthought. Whether you’re a gourmet chef, a weekday meal-prepper, or somewhere in between, your kitchen should work for the way you live.

Here’s how to make sure it does.

Smart Storage = Less Clutter, More Joy

Great kitchen design goes beyond countertops and color palettes, it’s about how your space functions day to day.

We carry several cabinet lines that offer clever, built-in storage solutions like:

  • Spice pull-outs so your seasonings are always within reach

  • Deep drawers with peg systems to keep pots, pans, and lids in place

  • Roll-out trays for easy access to lower cabinets (no more digging!)

  • Tray dividers for baking sheets and cutting boards

  • Tall pantry cabinets with broom or mop clips to keep cleaning supplies tucked away

  • Corner swing-outs that turn dead space into usable storage

  • Hidden trash & recycling centers to keep things tidy behind the scenes

These features aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re game-changers.

Why Do So Many Kitchens Lack Storage?

A few common reasons:

  • The layout wasn't updated during the remodel

  • Builders prioritized aesthetics over functionality

  • Off-the-shelf cabinetry lacked customization options

  • The homeowner didn't realize how many small upgrades make a big difference

That’s why working with a design team matters. We ask the right questions up front so your kitchen works beautifully for years to come.
