The importance of considering your storage options in your kitchen

When planning a kitchen, storage is a key consideration to ensure that the space is both functional and organized. Here are some storage ideas to help you plan your kitchen:

Maximize vertical space: Take advantage of vertical space by adding tall cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling. This will provide additional storage space for items that are used less frequently.

Utilise corner space: Corner cabinets can be tricky to use effectively, but there are options such as a Lazy Susan (carousel) or pull-out shelving (LeMans) that can make it easier to access items stored in the corner.

 Add a pantry: A pantry provides ample storage for dry goods, canned items, and other non-perishables. You can choose a freestanding pantry or build a custom pantry that fits your specific needs.

Use drawers instead of cabinets: Drawers provide easy access to items, making it easier to organize and find what you need. Consider using deep drawers for pots and pans, and shallower drawers for utensils and cutlery.

Install pull-out shelves: Pull-out shelves are a great way to make the most of your cabinet space. They allow you to easily access items stored at the back of the cabinet, making it easier to stay organised

Add open shelving: Open shelving provides a place to display dishes, cookbooks, and other decorative items while also providing additional storage space. They can be installed above cabinets or in unused wall space.

Incorporate a kitchen island: A kitchen island can provide additional storage space as well as a place to prep food and eat. Consider adding cabinets or shelves underneath the island for even more storage.

Use organisers: There are many organisers available that can help maximise space in your cabinets and drawers. For example, use a utensil tray to keep utensils organized, a pot rack to free up cabinet space, or a spice rack to keep spices within reach.

By incorporating these storage ideas into your kitchen design, you can create a functional and organized space that meets your specific needs
