12 High ROI Pull-Outs and Organizers for Modern Kitchens

A great kitchen is not only about layout and finishes. The small details inside your cabinets shape how smoothly you cook, clean, and host. The right organizers turn hard-to-reach spaces into effortless storage, reduce countertop clutter, and protect your investment. Use this guide to choose the highest-impact pull-outs and inserts for your next project.

Why Smart Storage Changes Everything

Cabinet accessories change workflow more than most layout tweaks. A trash pull-out near prep saves dozens of steps each day. Roll-out trays prevent deep-shelf crouching. Spice pull-outs keep flavors visible and within arm’s reach. When you plan accessories early, your designer can set correct cabinet widths, hinge choices, and clearances so everything fits perfectly.

Roll-Out Trays That Bring Everything Forward

Roll-out trays create drawer-like access behind doors. They’re ideal for storing pots, small appliances, and pantry items.

Best for: 24 inch base cabinets, pantry bases, or sink bases with cleaning caddies
Benefits: Full extension access, easy labeling, less bending
Tip: Specify soft-close slides for smoother motion and less wear

Deep Drawers That Simplify Storage

Deep drawers with full extension slides bring the entire contents into view. They’re excellent for dishes, mixing bowls, and food storage containers.

Why people love them: One motion to open, better ergonomics than shelves
Design note: Add peg systems to keep stacks from sliding

Trash and Recycling Pull-Outs That Disappear When You’re Done

Keep waste hidden but close to prep. Choose single, double, or triple bins based on your cooking habits.

• Common widths: 15, 18, or 21 inches
• Placement: Between sink and main prep zone
• Upgrade: Add a lid on the rear bin to control odor

Slim Pull-Outs for Spices and Cooking Oils

A 9 or 12 inch pull-out next to the range keeps spices upright and easy to read.

• Height options: Base or tall pantry versions
• Insert types: Tiered shelves, angled cradles, or adjustable rails
• Pro tip: Pair with a small tray divider for oils and vinegars

Tray Dividers That End the Stacking Game

Store baking sheets, cutting boards, and platters upright.

Good widths: 9 to 15 inches
Where it shines: Above wall ovens, near a baking zone, or over the fridge
Upgrade: Adjustable metal dividers for heavier pans

Corner Storage That Actually Works

Turn the hardest-to-reach spot in the kitchen into usable space. Modern blind corner pull-outs and swing-outs pull forward, then rotate outward.

• Benefits: Full visibility of both trays
• Consider: Load ratings if storing cast iron or small appliances
• Clearance: Confirm door swing and handle spacing during design

LeMans Shelves That Glide in an Arc

These curved trays swing out in a smooth arc, bringing cookware and small appliances right to you.

Best for: Corner bases where a Lazy Susan will not fit
Strengths: Quiet motion, strong load capacity, and elegant access

Updated Lazy Susan Systems

Still a classic for corner bases with two doors or a diagonal door.

• Types: Full round, pie cut, and kidney
• Pick this when: You want continuous storage without complex hardware
• Tip: Choose solid shelves with raised edges for better stability

Drawer Peg Systems for Dishes and Cookware

Wood or plastic pegs create custom sections inside a deep drawer.

Why it works: Dishes stay secure even with soft-close drawers
Pair with: Full extension slides for easy access to heavy pieces

Utensil and Knife Inserts That Keep Counters Clear

Tiered cutlery inserts and in-drawer knife blocks keep tools organized and safe.

• Layouts: Divide top drawers by prep, cooking, and serving
• Safety: In-drawer knife blocks protect blades and fingers
• Upgrade: Removable bins for easy washing

Under-Sink Systems That Use Every Inch

Make awkward sink bases more functional with U-shaped trays, pull-outs, and tilt-outs.

Great for: Sponges, dishwasher tabs, and cleaners
Design note: Measure carefully around plumbing and disposal units

Toe-Kick Drawers That Add Hidden Storage

A slim drawer above the toe-kick turns unused space into stealth storage for trays, placemats, or seasonal items.

Perfect for: Compact kitchens or minimalist designs
Tip: Add felt or silicone liners for quiet closing

Choosing the Right Mix for Your Kitchen

Start with your workflow. Trash and recycle pull-outs should sit near prep, roll-outs or drawers near heavy storage, and corner units where reach is toughest. Layer in inserts that fit your cooking habits, like spice pull-outs near the range and tray dividers near the oven.

If you entertain often, double trash pull-outs and deep drawers for dishes will save time. For small spaces, toe-kick drawers and narrow pull-outs deliver storage without changing your footprint.

Tips from the Design Team

• Plan accessories alongside door style and appliances
• Check handle clearances in corners
• Choose soft-close slides for anything heavy or daily use
• Confirm weight ratings on corner hardware before storing appliances
• Label roll-outs to make organization simple for everyone at home
