Kitchen Storage Tips
For storage follow these two simple simple rules,

A well-designed kitchen is laid out and planned with comfort and function kept in mind at all times. The layout will affect the person who does the cooking the most. That person needs to have a space that fits with his or her cooking style and needs. This will also determine the appliances to be installed.

Also keep in mind the guests and your parties at home. If all the ladies get together at kitchen during any party, think of an open kitchen.
