Joanna Gaines Has Just Solved My Small Kitchen Storage Woes – These New Magnolia Pieces Feel Custom-Made Without the Custom Price
From charming wood wall cabinets to charming canisters, they will organize your kitchen oh-so stylishly
If your kitchen is on the small side, you will be more than familiar with the fight for sufficient storage. We've all been there – cabinets crammed so full, you fear opening them in case you are faced with a Tupperware avalanche.
Now, I always check in on Magnolia's new collections. Joanna Gaines' modern rustic style is spot on for my own home, so I was hoping to pick up some spring decor to give my rooms a quick refresh. However, among the adorable carved wooden ducks, the ditsy floral tableware, and the fresh scented candles, I found some seriously good kitchen storage buys.
These small units come in a range of sizes and designs, all in a dark-toned wood for a timeless feel. They offer that extra bit of storage we all need, while adding a heavy dose of character to your kitchen decor. The Parker Cabinet, for example, blends an aged wood cupboard with brass details and an open shelf below, creating space for dry pantry goods, small bowls, and even spices if you so wish.
Alongside the cabinet designs, there are also more open solutions, like the Hannon Extension Plate shelf that blends a traditional kitchen feature with a decorative element that blends seamlessly into schemes of every style, adhering to that wood and brass palette.
What stands out the most about these wall-mounted storage pieces is that they feel custom, or more like a unique piece you have picked up at a thrift store. They're characterful, bringing a vintage-inspired detail into your space, while helping to solve your storage woes.
Cut-out details are a huge kitchen trend for 2026, and this charming wall cabinet executes it perfectly. It feels beautifully worn, like it's been a part of your kitchen for years, while adding a decorative detail with the cutouts and ornate edge detail. Inside, two shelves offer plenty of space for utensils, ceramics, and small kitchenware in need of a home.
Not all kitchen storage needs to be hidden away. For a more traditional design and an opportunity to display your favorite pieces, this glass-fronted wall cabinet is a lovely choice. The shelves of varying sizes create so much useful space for kitchenware and essentials, while the hooks at the base are perfect for linens, aesthetic utensils, and even bunches of dried herbs.
For something a little bit smaller, this scalloped cabinet is so charming. It reminds me of a little cottage kitchen, hung above a thrifted painting and stacked full of spices, or a collection of pinch bowls and egg cups. The scallop detail adds a lovely decorative moment, while the slightly shorter size suits low-ceilinged rooms or those that need to work around quirky architecture.
It's not just wall cabinets that are making small kitchen storage chic here, either. Smaller pieces, such as canisters, crocks, and decorative hooks, are also featured. So, even if you don't have wall space for a cabinet, there are still ways to elevate your storage.
It proves small, intentional changes can make a big difference, whether you replace that old, plastic pot on your countertops with the Heirloom Garden Scalloped Utensil Crock featuring a delicate blue floral design, or swap a worn, metal storage crate for the Antiqued Wood Carved Bread Box, perfect for elevating your countertops.
There are also wall hooks in a range of sizes, perfect for hanging pots if you've run out of drawer space, keeping towels and aprons within easy reach, or even for hanging baskets filled with produce from the garden if you need the extra space.
This hook rack looks like a hidden treasure you'd find hidden away in an antique store, and it's absolutely perfect for adding chic storage to your kitchen. The wood and brass combination is a total classic, adding timeless charm to your design.
Anything woven instantly feels more elevated. This scalloped-edge canister, which comes in two sizes, is the prettiest way to store miscellaneous items like bottle openers, cocktail sticks, and matches that end up cluttering your surfaces.
A shelf is another great solution if you don't have space for a full cabinet, and this solid wood design is the most elegant way to add one. It feels almost architectural, and offers plenty of space for your most aesthetic kitchenware and decor pieces.
For an infusion of color, this blue stoneware crock features that same organic, almost hand-painted finish that feels so characterful in a kitchen. It's always useful to have utensils ready next to the cooktop, and this design makes it more stylish.
So this wooden riser isn't technically storage, but it is a great piece for making those everyday essentials that live on your countertops look a bit more organized and stylish. It's also truly decorative in its own right, which makes it worth the purchase!
If you prefer brass without the wood, these hooks are a lovely addition. This design comes in two sizes, one with multiple hooks or a single hook for more compact spaces. You could even hang a few single ones for a more dynamic look, layered look.
No kitchen is too small for some beautiful storage solutions that add charm and character in abundance, and Magnolia's latest collection offers small space solutions that feel custom and almost vintage in design.
