Vintage & Rewired Lighting: Bringing Antiques into Modern Kitchens
Share
Designing your kitchen around wellness isn’t just a lifestyle trend—it’s a practical step toward healthier living. At Painted Kitchen, we believe your storage can actively support your goals, from eating better to staying organised. With a focus on clarity, ergonomics, and nourishment, here’s how to create a kitchen that works for your body and mind.
Organising for Healthy Eating
Smart kitchen storage starts with visibility and access. Glass jars, labelled baskets, and open shelving for fruits, grains, and healthy snacks make better choices easy. Creating a wellness zone—perhaps a smoothie station or prep area—reinforces good habits through design.
Bulk Bins & Produce Drawers
Bulk bins and deep drawers encourage you to shop sustainably and store smarter. Grains, nuts, and seeds stay fresh and accessible in airtight containers. Consider using pull-out drawer organisers to segment produce, so nothing gets forgotten at the back of the fridge.
Meal Prep Zones & Functional Flow
Meal-prep success often comes down to flow. Group chopping boards, knives, and storage containers within arm’s reach of the fridge and sink. Use drawer dividers for easy access to prep tools and containers. For more practical advice on function and fittings, check out our guide to choosing the right kitchen handles—a small detail that makes a big difference.
Spice & Supplement Organisation
Healthy meals rely on flavour and nutrition. Keep spices, oils, and supplements neatly arranged in labelled racks or tiered shelving. A well-lit, ventilated drawer near the hob is ideal for daily-use ingredients, while overflow stock can live in a dedicated pantry cupboard.
Design That Supports Daily Well-Being
Clean surfaces, calm colours, and ergonomic design contribute to mental clarity. Whether you're customising cabinet interiors or rethinking your pantry layout, wellness begins with intentional design choices. A tidy, supportive kitchen invites mindful cooking and joyful routines.
