A kitchen storage system is a total method for organizing a kitchen. It may consist of a combination of drawers, cabinets, shelves, and even specialized storage compartments like pull-out spice racks or pot-and-pan organizers. Each system is tailored to meet the particular requirements of the kitchen, considering its layout, the items to be stored, and the cooking patterns of the user. Some systems are modular and can be customized or added to as required over time.
