Wall cabinets, base cabinets, shelves and a few drawers in the island - there is almost always not enough space for all the pots, pans, kitchen appliances, kitchen utensils and supplies. Storage space in the kitchen is essential because it makes order and organization easier. Through clever planning, you can make optimal use of the available space and thus have a tidy kitchen. Today we are introducing you to a modern kitchen with lots of storage space, which gives you lots of ideas for clever storage solutions. From the ingenious use of difficult corners to the practical kitchen island, interior designer Sarah Trotter from Hearth Studio shows how to equip the kitchen efficiently. Here are some highlights.
Examples of clever storage space planning
The aim of this project was toa very functional kitchenfor a young family that loves to cook. The kitchen design is based on the customers' cooking preferences and guarantees optimal adaptation to their needs. This applies not only to the arrangement of the kitchen cupboards and the planning of the walkways, but also to individual additions such as a separate corner for making tea and toast. The customers are two academics who often write at home and like to make a cup of tea in the kitchen. In today's article we will focus on the storage space ideas that you can implement in your own kitchen.
Idea to steal: Hang up kitchen utensils
Instead of being stored in a drawer, the kitchen utensils were stored in oneMetal rod with S-hookhung. A window behind the kitchen sink is always a nice touch, but if the view isn't the best, consider some alternatives. In this case, the homeowners are looking at the weathered brick facade of a neighboring building. So this clever storage solution didn't bother them with the not-so-pretty view. On the contrary: fresh herbs can also be stored on the pole.
With clever shelves for more space
Open shelves also have their advantages: bowls, spices and cookbooks are ready to hand - everything is clearly visible and saves us the hassle of searching behind closed doors. Homeowners can still display pretty cookware and ceramics on the shelves. The magnetic strip for knives also proves to be very practical. It takes up little space and is easy to install.
Make the most of the difficult corners!
Most people would think that the space between the refrigerator and the wall would be unusable, but this example convinces us otherwise. You can easily store cutting boards, trays and baking trays here! If you are a wine lover, you canwith open wine racksmake perfect use of the space. Narrow pull-outs and pharmacy cabinets are also real storage space miracles. Make sure that they are fully extendable so that you can use every last centimeter of space.
Sliding doors are a space-saving solution in the kitchen too!
Ceiling-height cabinets on a long wall in the kitchen accommodate lots of bulky kitchenware. Sliding doors offer another advantage as they save space and are easy to move. This gives the homeowners enough freedom of movement between the cabinet and the kitchen island.
A tea station enriches every kitchen
Customers often work from home, which is why the architect designed this beautiful tea and toast station for small snack breaks. The sockets are conveniently placed in the corner and easy to reach. The back wall will have the same tiles, but this time with a splash of blue.
A kitchen island optimizes storage space in the kitchen
The kitchen islands not only create a separate work surface, but also offer additional storage space. In this case, shelves and cupboards are integrated on all three sides of the island. There is even a niche for the microwave on the side opposite the sink. A variety of things can be stored decoratively in several open compartments.
Hang up pans and keep the kitchen tidy
There is a lot to consider when planning your kitchen. There are numerous smaller details to consider, including how and where you should store your kitchen utensils. To take some of the load off your cupboards, you can hang up your pans! They usually need to be kept on hand for cooking
To make the kitchen look even tidier, the designer deliberately avoided annoying cupboard door handles. Instead, round openings were sawn out in the wood. She chose thin, black ones for the kitchen island and drawersHandle strips that are barely visible.
The marble worktop is ideal for rolling out dough
Knowing that her clients were avid bakers, the interior designer added a piece of marble countertop to one end of the island. There you can prepare all kinds of bread, pasta and pastries. Marble has a very smooth surface to which the dough does not stick. This also makes marble rolling pins particularly popular with hobby bakers.
