Drawer peg system

A pull-out drawer is the perfect spot for your daily used items like dishes, bowls and mugs. But when you’re opening and closing the drawer you don’t want these items to shift and break. Drawer pegs are the perfect solution! The pegs are customized to fit your dinning set, so you don’t have to worry about anything cracking or breaking. Keep everything safely tucked away yet easily accessible.

 

 

Cutlery inserts

You can’t do much in the kitchen without your cutlery, those finger foods don’t start out that way! And you don’t want to risk being cut when sifting through a drawer to find what you need. Separate all your knives, forks and spoons into their own designated place holder with the cutlery insert. When you’re ready to chow down, never be without a fork again—unless someone forgot to turn on the dishwasher!

 

 

Utility inserts

Where do you keep utility items like a whisk, spatula or pizza cutter? These uniquely shaped misfit tools don’t always store perfectly in a drawer. They aren’t ones that you might use regularly as well. But we won’t banish them to the island of misfit utensils! Utility inserts are customized and created to ensure that they all have their place. When you need the scissors or peeler, just pull open the drawer and rest assured that all your misfits will be close at hand.

 

 

Spice drawer inserts

There’s always an option to include a base cabinet filler pull-out in your kitchen design. These are perfect for storing all your potent spices. However, if you just don’t have the room for that specific pull-out—or just don’t like it, you can always go with the spice drawer insert. Keep them in a pull-out drawer but with customized spots to fit all your tasty accents. You’ll never have difficulty finding what you need.

 

 

K-cup tray inserts

Are you a big coffee drinker? Maybe you enjoy hot chocolate? The Keurig has redefined the way we drink these hot beverages. This means that you’re stocking up on all the K-cups of your liking. But these little packages can be difficult to store. Sure, you can leave them in the box but then where do you find a spot for that? Eliminate the box by including a K-cup tray insert. With a convenient location you’ll have your vast selection available in your functional space. For added convenience plug the Keurig right above this drawer and you’ve got all your needs within arm’s reach.

 

 

Tip-out trays

We all need to keep a sponge and dish soap near the skin. Unfortunately, there are just some things that can’t be put in the dishwasher! If you’re tired of the unsightly view of a used sponge and soap bottle on your counter top, there’s an option for that too. The tip out tray can store these items out of sight but still in a convenient and functional place. These trays are designed to fit right in front of the sink for easy access. Clean up the clutter on your countertop with this helpful tool.
