Kitchen Storage Makeovers: Textures & Hidden Solutions
Share
When it comes to kitchen makeovers, storage is often overlooked — but it’s one of the most powerful ways to transform your space. By combining clever storage solutions with beautiful textures, you can create a kitchen that’s both highly functional and effortlessly stylish.
Textures That Add Warmth and Depth
Modern kitchen design embraces texture as much as colour. Consider drawer fronts in natural wood grains, tactile matte finishes, or painted shaker styles to introduce subtle depth. These surfaces catch the light differently and create a layered, lived-in feel.
Hidden Storage Solutions
Hidden drawers, pull-out mechanisms, and deep base units can drastically improve how your kitchen functions day-to-day. Take our BD2 900 2-drawer base with a hidden internal drawer as an example — ideal for keeping clutter out of sight while maximising usable space.
Upgrade Your Drawer Units
Drawers are more accessible than cupboards, especially in lower cabinets. Our drawer unit collection features options to suit any layout or design style. Internal organisers and soft-close mechanisms take practicality even further.

FAQs: Kitchen Storage Makeovers
What’s better — drawers or cupboards?
For most base units, drawers are more ergonomic and provide easier access. You can see and reach everything without bending or emptying half the contents.
Can I add hidden drawers to my existing kitchen?
Yes, many of our drawer units include internal drawers. These can often be integrated into existing cabinetry or swapped in during a minor refresh.
Are there texture options beyond plain painted doors?
Definitely. We offer a range of finishes — from visible grain wood to ultra-matte or hand-brushed styles — all available in our shaker drawer fronts.
How do I choose the right drawer layout?
Consider your workflow. Deep drawers work well for pots and pans; shallow drawers are ideal for utensils. Hidden drawers can help separate utensils or cleaning products from food storage.
