The days when a kitchen was just a place to cook and prepare food are long gone. Now, as well as being the culinary heart of the home, the kitchen is also the main social hub. In order for a kitchen to work well as both a convivial and practical space, it needs to be clutter-free. 

Adding more storage to your kitchen will make it easier to tidy away your crockery, gadgets, and appliances and create plenty of space for food prep, entertaining, and the daily activities of family life.

Pantries

Adding a pantry to your layout is a fantastic way to centralise your food storage and increase your cupboard space. A tall, floor-to-ceiling pantry will give you lots of room for all your store cupboard ingredients. And because you’re utilising all the available vertical wall area, they’re space-saving too, so work really well in compact kitchens.
 
Alternatively, you could opt for a pull out pantry cabinet. These cleverly designed units are incredibly space-efficient and can easily be nestled in between your cupboards and drawers.

Walk-In Pantries

If you have a little more square footage to play with, you could consider building a walk-in pantry or larder. A walk-in storage area will offer plenty of shelf space and should make it easier to keep your ingredients organised.

Wide Drawers

Adding wide drawers to your kitchen island storage cabinet is a practical and stylish way to maximise your storage space. Perfect for keeping large quantities of plates, pans and other kitchen items, drawers make it easy to find what you’re looking for without having to rummage in the depths of a cupboard.

Appliance Garages

Building an appliance garage is a smart and effective way to keep your work surfaces clutter free. These handy features are designated storage sports for your kitchen gadgets. Large enough to accommodate your microwave, blender, air fryer and other essentials, appliance garages maintain the seamless look of your kitchen by closing neatly over your electronics when they’re not in use.

Breakfast Cabinets

A breakfast cabinet is a good alternative to an appliance garage. Often set in a free-standing, or specially built unit, these areas are large enough for common breakfast appliances - like the coffee machine, kettle and toaster – as well as mugs, bowls and plates. Some also contain a dedicated stretch of worktop so you have space to butter your toast and make your tea.
 
Most breakfast cabinets have doors that fold back into themselves and don’t protrude into the room. This makes it easy to move around the space when the unit is open and allows you to close the area off completely when breakfast is done.
