Creating a well-designed functional kitchen or laundry space is all about maximising storage without compromising style.
A kitchen should not only look aesthetically pleasing but also offer solutions that make daily life easier. Whether you have a large or small kitchen, clever kitchen storage solutions can improve our sense of liveability and satisfaction.
Our experienced designers at Kitchen Shack focus on practical options like pantries, appliance cabinets, corner cabinets, pull out bins, and under bench island storage to maximise kitchen space.
Here’s our best 6 Kitchen Storage solutions to maximise space and functionality for your home.
1. Smart Pantry Storage
A well-designed pantry is key for maintaining an organised kitchen. It’s important that the pantry suits your kitchen layout. If you have a limited floor space, a tall pantry can provide additional space without taking up extra floor space.
For larger kitchens, a walk-in pantry with deep shelves can make it easier to access items at the back of the pantry with ease. If your space allows a butler’s pantry behind the main kitchen can provide additional kitchen storage solutions. This gives you extra cabinets, drawers and bench space for additional storage.
Another clever addition is a pull-out towel rail inside cabinetry. This keeps your tea towels out of sight and off your benches.
2. Separate your rubbish from your recycling
Pull-out bins are a practical storage solution that keeps your kitchen looking clutter-free and organised. These bins make meal preparation easier, allowing you to conveniently dispose of your food scraps. They also hide your rubbish so that it is out-of-sight!
At Kitchen Shack we offer Hettich pull-out bin systems with dual bin compartments so you can separate your rubbish from your recycling effortlessly.
3. Corner Cabinet Storage Solutions
Corner cabinets often present storage challenges. Standard corner cabinets can be difficult to reach, especially those with mobility issues. The solution is accessories like Lazy Susans and Le Mans corner pull out cabinets, which allow shelves to swing out for easy access. These smart kitchen storage solutions eliminate the need to reach awkwardly into corners, making everyday kitchen use much more convenient.
4. Under Bench Island Storage
Maximising under bench island storage is another fantastic way to increase kitchen functionality. By adding cabinets or drawers into the base of an island bench, you can create additional space for storing platters and crockery items. This is an excellent option for homeowners looking to optimise every inch of their kitchen layout.
5. Pull-out Laundry Hampers for Organised Laundries
Storage solutions are just as important in the laundry as they are in the kitchen. A pull-out laundry hamper is a practical way to keep dirty laundry hidden while also separating clothes. Broom cupboards are another popular choice to store brooms, vacuum cleaners, and cleaning productions.
6. Appliance Cabinets with Bi-Fold Doors
Appliance cabinets with folding doors offer a streamlined solution for keeping benchtops clear. These cabinets allow you to store small appliances like toasters, kettles and coffee machines while keeping them easily accessible. When not in use the folding doors cleverly hide the items maintaining a tidy kitchen appearance.
