Smart ways to rethink your kitchen storage

4th may feature image

Whatever the size of your kitchen; making the most of the space you have available is key.

Creating an illusion of a larger space is easy with smart storage.

So whether you’re a hoarder of crockery and quirky kitchen accessories, or you keep your kitchen gadgets minimalist, smart kitchen storage ideas can help to create that designer kitchen style you’re looking for.

6 simple kitchen storage solutions

1. Cabinet door storage

Whether you pin your noticeboard inside your breakfast cereal cupboard on the back of the door, or you add an extra pocket on the door for storing those extra items, don’t dismiss the potential of a cabinet door!

2. Rolling shelves

Tiered, rolling shelves are a great way to make the most of your cabinet space.

One would typically just pop items on the base level of a cabinet, but there’s all that extra space on the sides and above that you could be made use of.

Rolling cabinet storage is relatively easy to get hold of and can also be built in by a carpenter.

3. Ceiling mounts

Add some visual interest to your ceiling with a metal or wooden mount rack to hang pots and pans from.

For a charming country cottage look you could also add bunches of dried flowers in between each pot and pan to create an enviable focal point.

4. Cabinet hooks

If there’s one item that’s a nightmare to store neatly in a cabinet it’s pots and pans.

Stack them up and the one you want will always be the one that’s hardest to get to; you may also risk damaging and scratching them too.

By hanging hooks from the top of your awkward cupboards you’ll be able to make the most of your cabinet space.

5. Rethink the splashback

Turn your splashback into knife storage by installing a magnetic strip.

This not only frees up counter space, it also adds a contemporary touch to your kitchen.

6. The kitchen island

Simple and practical, the kitchen island serves a number of purposes in the kitchen.

It can be used for storage, as a breakfast bar and for food preparation all at the same time.

Even in smaller kitchens an island can work as it reduces the amount of countertop space needed around the edges of the kitchen.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER

As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.

With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
