Kitchens are one of the most hardworking rooms in our home. They’re more than just places to cook; they’re social hubs, workspaces, play areas and more, and that makes keeping your space neat and clutter-free an absolute must. Whether you’re relaxing with friends, trying to concentrate on work or getting dinner ready in a hurry, a tidy, well-organised kitchen is essential. However, there’s more to establishing a practical, clutter-free interior than simply installing as many cupboards as possible. Below are our top tips to maximise space and create a stylish, streamlined design.
Increase Kitchen Accessibility With Organised Drawers
Allowing you to reach right to the back of your units with ease, drawers make an excellent alternative to cupboards. With plenty of sturdy, well-organised drawers, you’ll never have to deal with the hassle of emptying your cupboards again. The latest, strong and durable designs mean you can even use drawers to store heavy items like pots, pans and crockery. Our manufacturers offer lots of clever internal solutions to help you find a place for everything.
Maximise Kitchen Space With A Pull-Out Larder
The same principles apply to our ingenious, space-saving pull-out larder units. They offer great access to the very back of your cabinet, allowing you to quickly grab ingredients when you need them. Plus, being able to see everything without having to rummage through your cupboards makes writing your weekly shopping list so much easier! Available in a range of sizes, our pull-out larder and base units are ideal for maximising narrow spaces.
Conceal Kitchen Appliances Behind Clever Pocket Doors
Whether you’re keen to embrace the minimalist concealed kitchen trend or simply looking for somewhere to store your coffee machine, a sleek pantry complete with folding pocket doors makes an excellent choice. You can customise the inside to suit your storage needs, ensuring the shelves are the perfect height for your coffee mugs. As well as bringing a streamlined look to your kitchen, pocket doors offer impressive versatility as they can be left open without interrupting your workflow.
Invest In A Luxurious Pantry Cupboard
A traditional pantry cupboard makes a luxurious addition to a classic kitchen. Combining beauty and practicality inside and out, they offer the potential to truly transform your design. Add spice racks to the doors to create the perfect store cupboard, or, for a rather fabulous cocktail cabinet, add wine glass racks and a mirrored finish. The options are endless.
Mix & Match Kitchen Wall Units & Shelves
Overhead units are great for keeping clutter out of sight. However, they aren’t overly easy to reach. And, in smaller kitchens, they can leave your room looking a little cramped. Consider using a combination of wall units and shelves to break up your design without sacrificing storage. Shelves offer a lovely place to display crockery and cookbooks. They can add a beautiful touch of character to your interior while helping establish a more open, spacious feel.
Go For Glazed Kitchen Cabinets
Glazed cabinets offer another stunning way to elevate your interior and add interest to your cabinetry. They make a wonderfully stylish spot to store glassware and crockery. Pair with gorgeous internal lighting to create a sophisticated design feature.
Make The Most Of Your Wall Space
If you’re determined to maximise every inch of space, consider using a wall rack to hang utensils, cups, chopping, potted herbs and more. Utilising your walls is a stylish and practical way to keep your worktops clutter-free.
Add A Stylish & Sophisticated Wine Rack
When it comes to introducing enough storage to your kitchen, it’s not just about quantity. You’ll need to ensure all your belongings have a proper place. An elegant wine rack makes a great spot to display your collection of vintage crus. While the bespoke oak X-cube wine store below makes a beautiful addition to this classic kitchen, a slim integrated vertical rack will look equally elegant if you’re short on space.
Create The Perfect Place For Storing Chopping Boards
Speaking of creating the perfect place for every item, chopping boards can be notoriously tricky to store. These custom chopping board slots make a gorgeous and practical finishing touch. Alternatively, a small shelving niche makes a handy place to lean boards and trays.
From a neatly organised store cupboard to a fabulous cocktail cabinet, dedicating a little extra thought to your kitchen storage is sure to elevate your space and enhance your lifestyle.
