Any recommendations for kitchen storage shelving?

Hi there!

I recently got married (yippee) and now have real 8-piece sets of bowls/plates/etc and a few new appliances. I live in a Brooklyn apartment and while my kitchen is pretty generous, I'm still butting up against space issues. I'm looking for a shelving unit to take up some negative space in my kitchen + provide storage, but notably I don't want to get anything like the IKEA wire/open shelving (had it in the past and didn't love it.) Does anyone have any kitchen-friendly shelving/storage solutions they recommend, ideally with cabinets?

    Congrats Lizzy! 🥂

    How big is the space you're working with? Does it have to be tall, or do you have room for something wide? I found my kitchen hutch while antiquing in town, and it has provided me with so much storage! I wonder if you could find something secondhand that works for your space. My hutch is low and wide, but I love the look of this one from Urban—closed cabinets but also some glass to see through!

    ooh love daniela's pick above! something with a little color could be fun, too, like this one from Amazon. but i agree that there are lots of used options for hutches if you're willing to put in some time on FB marketplace/in your local thrift!

    Yaaay congratulations!! I feel like an old-fashioned hutch would be so fun to hunt for at an estate sale! In the meantime, I like these risers from IKEA for maximizing the cabinet space you already do have/trying to fit in some extra dishes.
