I need more storage in my kitchen! How do I create more storage?
Hidden Storage Ideas You Haven’t Thought Of yet.
Creative space-saving solutions for homes in Lewiston, Idaho and the surrounding area
Keeping your home organized without sacrificing style can be a challenge—especially if you're short on space. That’s where hidden storage comes in. Whether you're remodeling a home in Lewiston, upgrading your Clarkston kitchen, or building new in the greater Lewis-Clark Valley, these clever storage ideas will help you make the most of every square inch.
Here are some hidden storage ideas you probably haven’t thought of yet:
1. Toe Kick Drawers in Your Kitchen
The space under your kitchen cabinets can become shallow drawers—perfect for baking sheets, pet supplies, or cleaning tools. It’s a smart solution that blends seamlessly into your kitchen design and works well in both traditional and modern Lewiston homes.
2. Built-Ins Behind Doors
The back of a door is often wasted space. Custom built-ins behind a door can house pantry items, toiletries, or seasonal gear—ideal for maximizing smaller homes in Clarkston, Asotin, or Lapwai.
3. Hidden Charging Stations in Cabinets
Tired of countertop clutter? Add charging drawers or cabinet cubbies with built-in outlets to keep devices powered and tucked away. This is a popular feature in modern kitchen remodels around Lewiston.
4. Staircase Storage Drawers
Every stair has storage potential. With custom-built pull-out drawers, you can stash shoes, kids' toys, or winter gear—especially helpful in homes with limited closet space.
5. Under-Bench Storage
Benches and window seats are beautiful, but they can also be functional. Add lift-up seats or drawers underneath to store games, extra linens, or even tools. This works great in mudrooms or entryways in rural homes outside Lewiston.
6. Storage-Integrated Headboards
Upgrade your bedroom with a headboard that has hidden cubbies or sliding panels. You’ll keep nighttime clutter out of sight while adding custom character to your room.
7. Full-Length Mirror Cabinets
Install a mirrored cabinet in your entryway or bedroom for concealed storage of keys, sunglasses, and accessories. These are especially useful in apartments or compact homes in the downtown Lewiston area.
8. Slim Pull-Out Pantry
A narrow gap next to your fridge or range? That’s the perfect place for a hidden pull-out pantry. It’s a small space with big impact—and one of our most requested upgrades during kitchen remodels in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley.
9. Tilt-Out Trays Under the Sink
Turn those false drawer fronts in the kitchen or bathroom into small tilt-out trays. They’re perfect for sponges, toothbrushes, or scrubbers—keeping your counters clean and organized.
10. Furniture with Hidden Compartments
From coffee tables with lift tops to nightstands with secret drawers, furniture can do double duty. These are perfect for storing remotes, valuables, or electronics in plain sight.
