Stuff Your Turkey, Not Your Kitchen: Space-Saving Tips for Fall Remodels

As the holidays creep closer, your kitchen might already be bracing for impact. From prepping feasts to hosting family, a small or cluttered kitchen can feel like trying to fit a turkey into a teacup. But don’t worry—you can streamline your space and maximize functionality with a few clever tricks. And if you’re ready to take your kitchen to the next level, ALC Remodel is here to help!



1. Cabinets That Work Harder Than Santa’s Elves

Think of cabinets with pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, or vertical dividers as the cranberry sauce to your turkey—they're a small upgrade, but they pack a punch. These features help you store more while keeping everything easy to grab, so you’re not digging through a jumbled mess for your favorite baking dish.


Kitchen design tip: Go custom! Tailored cabinetry can make every inch of your kitchen work smarter. And with ALC Remodel, you can design cabinets that fit your style and storage needs perfectly.



2. Multipurpose Appliances: The Swiss Army Knife of the Kitchen

Counter space in a small kitchen is prime real estate, so ditch single-task appliances. Instead, invest in tools that do double or triple duty. Air fryer-toaster combos, Instant Pots, or microwaves with convection capabilities can save space and simplify meal prep.


It’s like replacing four side dishes with one perfect casserole—same results, less hassle.



3. Declutter Like It’s a Holiday Clearance Sale

Nothing makes a kitchen feel smaller than clutter. Before the holiday frenzy begins, take a ruthless inventory of your utensils, gadgets, and appliances. Haven’t used that avocado slicer since 2018? It’s time to let it go. A streamlined kitchen is the best side dish you’ll ever serve.


Maximizing kitchen space tip: Use clear bins, drawer organizers, and magnetic strips to keep everything in its place. If you’re dreaming of a sleek, clutter-free kitchen that works for you, ALC Remodel can help redesign your layout for maximum efficiency.



4. Add Storage Without Sacrificing Style

If you’re short on cabinets, think vertically. Floating shelves, wall-mounted racks, or even hooks for hanging pots can free up valuable counter space. Plus, it gives your kitchen a Pinterest-worthy vibe that says, “Yes, I host stylish dinner parties.”


Kitchen design insight: Opt for a mix of closed and open storage to balance functionality with aesthetics. Whether it’s adding shelves or reconfiguring your cabinets, ALC Remodel specializes in crafting storage solutions that look as good as they work.



5. Make the Most of Your Kitchen Island

If your kitchen can handle an island, treat it like the pumpkin pie of your remodel—it ties the whole thing together. Choose one with built-in storage or a drop-leaf design to double as a prep station and dining spot. For tighter spaces, rolling carts are an excellent substitute.


It’s like a stretchy waistband at Thanksgiving—extra room, just when you need it most.

Not sure where to start? Let ALC Remodel design the perfect island that fits your kitchen’s size and your holiday hosting needs.



6. Lighting: The Gravy That Brings It All Together

Good lighting doesn’t just look pretty—it can make your kitchen feel larger and more functional. Under-cabinet lighting, pendant fixtures, or recessed options brighten up work areas and create an inviting ambiance for guests.


Pro tip: The right lighting can make even the smallest kitchens feel like a five-star space. ALC Remodel can help you choose and install the perfect lighting to enhance your kitchen’s vibe.
