You know why storage space<\/a> in your kitchen is such a precious commodity? Because adding more of it is so difficult. Unless you can renovate your kitchen, you\u2019re generally stuck with whatever amount of countertop<\/a> and cupboard storage<\/a> it comes with. We\u2019ve found lots of shelves, bins, and organizers<\/a> that will help you make the most of your storage space, but there is not a lot you can do to actually increase<\/em> it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n That is, unless you add a kitchen island<\/a>. These brilliant contraptions can be as compact as bar carts or as big as tables, and they create counter, drawer, and cabinet space out of thin air. If you have the floor space for one of these units, it\u2019s a smart way to both declutter your kitchen and give you more room to prep meals<\/a> \u2014 and it\u2019s far more affordable than any renovation. Check out our favorite storage kitchen islands and find the perfect one for your home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
