When it comes to home storage, a kitchen table sure isn’t the first thing you think of. But with a rising popularity of kitchen tables with storage, you definitely shouldn’t ignore the benefits they could serve for you. Whether it’s a dining room table or an additional workspace for your kitchen, there are many ways to incorporate storage into these tables.

Now that the idea is in your head, it’s important to make sure the functionality and safety of the table you choose work for your home. If you have small children running around the house, you’ll want to be wary of what kind of storage the table features as well as what you are storing in it.

What are the different options of kitchen table storage?

Shelves

There can be anywhere from one to several shelves placed underneath the table. A common style is one or two large shelves placed one on top of the other. This is suitable for baskets, bowls, and large pots and pans. Dining tables typically feature smaller shelves, or even just one shelf, in order to leave leg room. Things like dinnerware and napkins are good to store here.

If you have small children or grandkids that run around the house often, then shelves might not be the best choice. This is because anything you store there can easily be accessed, meaning your child may break something. Even worse, they may end up hurting themselves.

Drawers

Drawers are great for storing placemats, silverware, kitchen utensils, dinnerware, and so much more. They can range from deep to shallow depending on the use of the table. It’s more typical for dining tables to feature thin drawers with discreet handles placed underneath so they are not so obvious.

Most kitchen tables with storage drawers don’t offer a locking feature. You’ll most likely have to install drawer locks yourself to keep babies and small kids from getting in.

Cabinets

Cabinets are our most trusted ways to store things in the kitchen, so why not place them on a kitchen table? You can put just about anything in cabinets. Small kitchen appliances, pots, and pans are most likely to be stored here.

Like drawers, you’ll need to install your own child safety locks to ensure little ones don’t get into trouble here.

Racks

Some kitchen tables feature racks that hang from right under the table tops. This is a less commonly used method of storage and can be very aesthetically pleasing. The drawback with these racks is that they aren’t that good for storing things like small appliances, dishes, etc. They are good for napkins, paper towels, kitchen towels, etc.

“Hidden” Storage

Hidden storage is more likely to be found on a dining table since it is a less likely candidate for storage in the first place. This type of storage is usually underneath the table top. It is revealed by either sliding the tabletop over or removing “secret” lids from the table to access inner cubbies.

Are there kitchen tables with multiple storage options?

You’ll find that most kitchen tables with storage actually feature more than one of these types of storage. A shelf with cabinets or cubbies underneath is a common combo. Racks and shelves are also a popular duo. There are many different variations and combos to explore.

Choosing a kitchen table to be a new part of the storage crew is unexpected, but can make all the difference in the functionality of your home. This is especially true if you live in a small space. Once you find the perfect table for your home, you’ll be glad that you just made your life that much more efficient! Not just that, but it looks great too.
