No two kitchens are exactly alike, but the most memorable ones share clever storage solutions that make life easier. You’ll find 15 standout kitchen storage ideas in these photos from the Best of Houzz 2026 Design award winners. Think deep drawers, open shelving, walk-in pantries and double islands.
When homeowners save photos to their Houzz ideabooks, it helps pros earn Best of Houzz Design awards in recognition for their compelling designs. When homeowners leave reviews on pros’ Houzz profiles, it helps pros earn Best of Houzz Service awards. And pros earn Best of Houzz Innovator awards when they have won a Service award that year, use Houzz Pro software and are Houzz Pro-certified. In other words, a badge on a pro’s profile signals that their work is popular, their clients love working with them, they’re using the latest tools to streamline the design and construction process — or all of the above. In addition to Design awards, some of the pros featured below also earned Service or Innovator awards, proving that style, smart solutions and thoughtful design go hand in hand.
