Clever Storage Solutions for Tight Kitchen Spaces
The kitchen, often considered the hardest working room in a house, is a space that requires efficient organisation. Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your kitchen space.
Zimbini Nkonjera, cooking category manager at Hotpoint, suggests maximising space in small kitchens by choosing multipurpose appliances. One such solution is the two-in-one appliance, a combination of a microwave and an oven, offered by brands such as Samsung, Siemens, and Bauknecht. Siemens, in particular, offers models with integrated microwave and steam functions, while some models from various brands may include Air Fryer capabilities, though specific Air Fryer combinations are less commonly highlighted in microwave-oven combos.
Decluttering your counters and cupboards can create a more organised feel. Displaying your jars up high frees up cupboard space below, and decanting dry goods into stylish glass jars and displaying them up high not only frees up cupboard space but also adds a touch of style. Replacing a bulky knife block with a magnetic strip attached to the wall is another space-saving storage solution.
Utilising the inside of cabinet doors can create additional space to store items such as measuring cups, spoons, pot lids, or even small kitchen tools. Attaching hooks, racks, or small containers to the inside of cabinet doors keeps these items easily accessible while cooking.
Installing shelves above windows can be a great way to make use of otherwise unused space in the kitchen. These shelves can be used to store items not frequently accessed, such as decorative dishes, glassware, or cookbooks.
Over-the-sink drying racks can be used to utilise space above the sink for drying dishes, keeping counters clear. Over-the-sink chopping boards double as prep surfaces and can catch vegetable scraps, making clean-up easier.
Leaving aesthetically pleasing pots and pans on display on the stovetop can add a pop of color and style to the kitchen while saving on storage space.
People are saving space in their kitchens by storing items within their appliances, such as ovens and dishwashers. Installing drawers in the toe kick area (the space below your cabinets) can store flat items like baking sheets or chopping boards. Using the back of deep cabinets for less frequently used items and installing sliding or pull-out mechanisms makes them accessible.
When transferring snacks like cereals and crisps into stackable, clear containers, you can save on shelf space and create a more organised and visually appealing storage solution.
Air fryers are also a space-saving option, offering a compact alternative to traditional deep fryers while still delivering delicious, crispy results.
By implementing these tips, you can transform your kitchen into a more organised, efficient, and stylish space.
