When it comes to interior design, dead or empty spaces—especially in the kitchen—are at the top of the list of common issues. Empty walls and awkward gaps between shelves can easily be addressed—and even optimized for storage potential.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s kitchen has provided some excellent storage ideas, as seen in a recent video she shared from her modern and minimalist home.

The luxurious kitchen, designed by Brigette Romanek, stands out not only for its sophisticated look but also for its smart cabinetry. Featuring vintage-style glass fronts, the key highlight is the full use of vertical space—cabinets stretch all the way to the ceiling, blending elegance with function.

In addition to showcasing both decorative and functional kitchen accessories and adding visual interest to the space, Gwyneth’s tall kitchen cabinets are timeless and designer-approved, according to Homes & Gardens. They’re perfect for small kitchens but, as Gwyneth demonstrates, aren’t limited to compact spaces.

Also according to Homes & Gardens, vertical storage in kitchens of all sizes is fantastic—especially in small spaces where countertop area is limited.

“In a small kitchen, every inch counts,” says Westchester-based designer Nina Lichtenstein. “While traditional storage solutions rely on cabinets and drawers, vertical storage can transform a tight area into a streamlined, efficient workspace ideal for cooking. From hanging pots and pans to mounted shelves and pegboards, embracing verticality not only maximizes storage but adds visual appeal to the kitchen.”

In addition to custom or extended cabinets, like Gwyneth’s, Nina points out that pull-out cabinets are also a great vertical storage solution. They’re especially useful for maximizing space without investing in all-new cabinetry.

“If you have a narrow gap between appliances or walls, consider a pull-out pantry cabinet for dry goods, cutting boards, or trays,” she suggests. “These tall, slim units make use of space that would otherwise go to waste.”

Alternatively, while Gwyneth’s enclosed cabinets are ideal for keeping fragile items safe, open vertical shelves are a great idea for storing less delicate or frequently used items.

“Make the most of wall space with open shelving that extends to the ceiling,” Nina says. “It works especially well for storing items you don’t use daily, like specialty appliances or seasonal dishware. For a seamless, elegant look, match the shelves to your cabinetry or choose floating shelves with built-in lighting.”

One challenge of vertical storage is that it can be hard to access. Installing a stylish yet practical ladder, like Gwyneth did, is a great (and safe) way to make high storage more accessible.
