Our top kitchen storage solutions

A well organised kitchen isn't just about looking great, it's about making your day-to-day life easier and more efficient. If you’re in need of some advice for streamlining your space, keep reading for our top kitchen storage solutions. 

Make use of vertical spaces 

If you’re working with a smaller room or have minimal countertop space, it’s time to consider making use of the walls. Could you swap out a knife rack for a magnetic wall mounted strip, or a mug tree that sits on the counter for under shelf mug hooks? 

Turn shelving into drawers

There’s no need to sacrifice style for storage. At Benton Furniture, if we’re fitting your kitchen and you have a fixed cabinet with shelving, we can easily convert this into a pull-out drawer system without having to replace your entire unit. 

Our refurbishment service means we can retrofit your existing cabinets to maintain the exterior, whilst solving the problem of those hard to reach corners where you find yourself practically having to crawl into your cupboards just to get to your items. 

Hang items on the inside of doors

Another space saving trick for kitchens is to use the inside of your cupboard doors to hang things like pans, colanders, or chopping boards. It's space that would otherwise be wasted and can be handy for those items you find yourself needing to grab quickly when cooking. 

Organise your pantry

This may seem like an obvious one, but having your pantry or kitchen cupboards organised can make all the difference when it comes to preparing your meals. We’d suggest clear, stackable containers for dried goods like pasta, rice, and flour so that you can quickly see at a glance if you’re running low on anything.

Maximise kitchen corners

The corners of your room are real estate to be utilised in your kitchen. You could opt for a corner shelving unit, or for an alcove, a spice rack or plate rack could be the perfect way to make the most of this empty space and save you more room in your cupboards and pantry.

Adding in a kitchen island

Sometimes the answer to your problem is staring right back at you - and it could be the empty floor space your current kitchen has. Not everyone will have the room to consider a kitchen island, but if you do it can add so much extra storage to your kitchen, plus more room for prepping, cooking, and eating food.
