Sometimes we get a great idea or maybe that burst of energy and get ahead of ourselves. The last thing you want to do is to start tearing things out before planning your custom bathroom remodel.

![Brakur_stash_spices.jpg](https://blog.brakur.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Brakur_stash_spices.jpg?width=304&name=Brakur_stash_spices.jpg)What would be a kitchen without spices? In today’s kitchens everything needs to have a place. That doesn’t mean shoved in a kitchen cabinet. Kitchens today are designed around work zones that incorporate universal design. Not only knowing where things are, but having a space that is organized and has easy access is at the top of the list. So where is the best place to store those kitchen spices? We thought we would share a few of our favorite ideas.

Your designer will do final measurements, but you can move the job (or process of getting a quote) along quickly by providing initial measurements, which your [designer](https://blog.brakur.com/blog/how-to-communicate-your-vision-to-your-kitchen-designer) will use to create your new space.
