Kitchen storage solutions made simple.

The most common issue we face as kitchen designers, especially in listed buildings, is creating enough storage. But this isn’t just adding ore cupboards, this is creating clever storage that is easy to access and use in your kitchen for many years. Here are our top 5 storage solutions that be considered for any kitchen, no matter how big or small.

1.     Space tower.

Hidden neatly behind a larder door, these shelves, that can be set at bespoke heights, make the days of delving into the back of a larder the thing of the past. With the strong drawer runners to hold the heaviest of ingredients, and glass front drawers make this storage solution both functional and aesthetical.

2.     Le mans

This storage solution has been a game changed to the functionality of the corner cupboard. What once was seen as an awkward unit with difficult access, can now be one of the best use of cupboard space. The le man can hold weights from heavy saucepans, to just daily ingredients. A must for any kitchen that has a corner!

3.     Plinth step

This innovation from Blum really shows how they are forward thinking in technology in the kitchen. A neatly hidden step which forms part of the plinth, can at a push, pop put to create a step allowing for easier access to worktops, sink, and cupboards. But it even goes a ‘step’ further, as underneath they have created access for extra storage.

4.     Sink drawer

Sinks, especially the country classic Belfast, have always been associated with a cupboard underneath. But now we are seeing a trend of moving towards drawers to house our necessities like dishwasher tablets and fairy liquids.

5.     Internal drawers

Drawers don’t always have to be visible on the outside. There are some beautiful and subtle ways to have drawers hidden behind seemingly cupboard doors. This can allow for symmetry in the design, as well as functionality of drawers housing your kitchen needs from bowls and plates to pans and trays.
