No matter how big your kitchen is, finding adequate place for appliances, tools and food is no easy task! These tips will help you make the best use of any available space you have and make it that much easier to prepare dinner in an organized fashion!


1 Hidden secrets
To eliminate visual clutter, conceal cubbies and appliances behind panel doors. This creates a seamless effect and a clean, contemporary look.

2 On a roll
Maximize underused space by adding pullout drawers to existing cabinets. Drawers not only allow you to access those hard-to-reach spots but also make it easy to organize food and appliances.
3 Behind bars
A one-level breakfast bar easily doubles as a prep station. Access from both sides reduces crowding in the kitchen and provides more work surface.
4 Up the wall
Take advantage of blank walls. A stainless steel wall-mounted pot rack keeps wares within reach without taking up valuable cupboard space. Hanging pots and pans also prevents them from getting scratched.
5 Clutter buster
A built-in appliance centre eliminates countertop clutter. Pullout shelves come in handy when making breakfast or serving cocktails during a party.
6 Hide & seek
A drawer built into the end of a banquette turns previously unused space into a handy storage unit for cookbooks and occasional dishware.
7 New heights
Use the space you do have and go for floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, which helps visually increase the room’s height. Store seasonal and rarely used items in the top cupboards and remember to invest in a foldable stepladder!
8 Small fry
Compact appliances take up less square footage, especially if they’re integrated into the cabinetry.
9 Light effect
Cabinets with glass-panelled doors and interior lighting create the illusion of a window, giving the space an open, airy feel. Keep wares neat and neutral to reduce visual clutter.

10 Around the corner
Make the most of tricky corners by installing shelving instead of cabinetry. Open storage is perfect for displaying unique collections.
