Declutter your kitchen with a charging station. A remodeled kitchen can be one of the best projects for your home and give you the highest in ROI. With Smartphones, computers, and tablets all being a large part of any homeowners’ daily routine, it would make sense to add a charging station to the hub of your home, the kitchen.
Today’s modern cabinetry allows for contractors such as High Quality Contracting to add a level of convenience to your kitchen that we were not able to do in the past. Along with that, new outlets constructed to effectively power a USB are also available.
Here are a few great decluttering power station ideas for your future kitchen project:
-
Tip-Out Drawers
Depending on the configuration of your cabinets, you may have a space for a small tip-out drawer when a full depth drawer is not an option. This is often the case in front of a sink or built-in range. The are is usually small and can be used easily for this option, reducing the amount of space wasted.
-
USB Wall Outlet
Declutter your kitchen by adding USB charging ports to your outlets than buy USB power adapters. The best option is to install them directly into the outlets in the kitchen. You will need to be aware of safety codes regarding outlets, however, there are many great options for USB Wall Outlets now that are functional, good looking and meet industry standards.
-
Full Depth Charging Drawers
Placing a charging station inside a full depth drawer works well. Most devices that need to be charged (tablets, phones, laptops) are typically flat. Laying them inside a drawer means you don’t have to worry about them falling or getting anything spilled on them. This is ideal to keep things out of sight as well as safe.
-
Under-Cabinet Outlets
Charging holders combined with the under-cabinet outlets are semi-revolutionary and very helpful. You can install a charging holder for your iPad that will hold the iPad while you scan your list of Pinterest recipes. You can easily charge the unit safely at the same time.
-
Shallow Cabinets
Like the tip-out drawer, a shallow cabinet can be a great way to use a thin space left at the end of a larger cabinet. A simple cabinet with doors is generally a less expensive solution than drawers. They offers plenty of functionality. Many times there is a small space that can be used for a small cabinet. Inserting the wiring for a charging station there will keep everything up out of the way and allow room where you need it most.
