Function matters, especially when it comes to storage. Renovating homeowners expressed both design-related priorities for their renovated kitchens and functional ones. A top functional priority, cited by 63 percent of renovators, was having a kitchen in which it’s easy to store and find items. Making the list for a minority of respondents (21 percent) was a kitchen that’s easy for multiple cooks to work in.People like to corral their cookie sheets. Given that storage was a priority for so many, it isn’t surprising that many of those who upgraded their cabinets chose to include built-in storage. The most popular choices were pullout waste or recycling cabinets (67 percent), followed by cookie sheet or tray organizers (55 percent) and deep-drawer organizers (45 percent).Find pantry and cabinet organizers
