A well-designed kitchen isn’t just about the right countertop or the perfect tile, it’s about how the space functions day to day.
Cabinetry is one of the biggest investments in a kitchen remodel, and replacing or reconfiguring cabinets later is no easy task. That’s why, at Case, we focus just as much on smart cabinet design and accessories as we do on finishes. We want every kitchen we design to be tailored not only to our client’s style—but also to how they live, cook, and organize.
As part of our design process, we walk clients through all the available storage solutions and cabinet accessories to create the most efficient and functional kitchen possible.
Below are a few of my favorite accessories that I’ve specified recently—and will be recommending again!
Tray Pull-Outs
These slim cabinets are perfect for storing baking sheets, trays, and cutting boards vertically. They’re a smart way to make use of narrow spaces that would otherwise be hard to access.

Docking Drawers
If you’re tired of tangled cords and countertop clutter, a docking drawer is a must. With built-in power, it keeps phones, tablets, and charging cables hidden but fully functional. It’s one of our favorite ways to keep kitchens organized.

Paper Towel Drawer
Another clutter-free win! This accessory keeps paper towels tucked away but within easy reach—no more rolls sitting out on the counter.

Cutlery Tray & Knife Block Insert
One of our most popular and most versatile accessories. We can customize these inserts to suit your collection of utensils and knives, making prep work smoother and safer. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in daily kitchen life.

Bottle Storage Organizer
Water bottles, travel mugs, and Yeti cups tend to multiply and storing them is always a challenge. Standard wall cabinets hide the ones in back, and base rollouts often cause them to tip. This accessory is adjustable and designed specifically for cabinet rollouts to keep everything upright and easy to see.

At the end of the day, the right accessories can make your kitchen more functional, more organized, and way more enjoyable to use. I’ve specified all the above in recent projects and clients love them!
