I've got a small kitchen in my new townhouse and I'm really struggling with storage space, especially with a corner sink. I have a ton of pots and pans, but there's nowhere to store the larger ones except for under the sink and in the oven, which isn't ideal since I need to use the oven. The space under the sink is deep, making it hard to access items in the back. I would love to install pull-out shelving, but the plumbing and garbage disposal are in the way. Right now, I'm storing a lot of my kitchen gear in the garage, which means I have to lug everything back and forth every time I cook. Any advice on how to tackle this storage nightmare?

Do you have any wall space available? In my first house, I dealt with a similar small kitchen and corner sink situation. I put up a piece of framed pegboard to hang my pots and pans. It really cleared up some cabinet space!
A hanging pot rack could really help sort out your pot storage! It frees up cabinet space and keeps your pots easily accessible.
Have you thought about slide-out baskets for cabinets? They’re great for under the sink, plus you could add an overhead pot rack for additional space.
It’s tough without seeing the space, but I also live in a small kitchen without a pantry. I used a cheap bookshelf to store my big pots and other kitchen items. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done! You might want to build something that fits better eventually. Just a thought!
Nice, looking forward to seeing them!
Thanks for the suggestion! I just posted some photos in my original question.
