Do you feel that your kitchen lacks space even though it is the perfect size for your home? Don’t worry, you just need to make it more functional and spacious. Today, we bring you some tips for optimising space in your kitchen.

USE STORAGE BOXES

Although it may seem like a basic trick, using boxes in your kitchen requires a few key points to make it look useful and aesthetically pleasing.

Drawer units allow you to make better use of vertical (not horizontal) space, keeping items categorised and accessible. You should bear in mind that depending on the appearance of your kitchen and the area in which you have to place them, it will be better if they are coloured and opaque or transparent.

DISTRIBUTE YOUR INTERIOR SPACES WELL

Organizing your cupboards and drawers strategically can significantly enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your kitchen. Start by placing frequently used items, such as cooking utensils, spices, and everyday dishes, in easily accessible locations, ensuring that you can reach them quickly and effortlessly during meal preparation. Items that are used less often, such as special occasion serveware or seasonal kitchen gadgets, should be stored in higher or more difficult-to-reach spaces, keeping them out of the way but still within reach when needed.

PLACE HOOKS IN STRATEGIC LOCATIONS

Place hooks on the underside of cabinets to hang cups, ladles or tea towels or simply in less visible places in the kitchen. It’s a simple and effective way to free up surface space and keep utensils close at hand and in a specific place, reducing searching time and improving efficiency during food preparation.

BUY CUTTING BOARDS WITH BUILT-IN STORAGE

Cutting boards with compartments for waste, cut food or even your own knives are great for keeping your work area clean and organised while cooking and allow you to organise ingredients and waste.
