The kitchen is the heart of the home. Not only is it where you prepare food, but it might be where you sit down to eat, where your kids do their homework, where you entertain that friend who’s come in for a coffee…. It’s a space that is always in use and needs to be multi-purpose.
Take a look at some of our ideas on how to organise your kitchen space when you get started with your kitchen refurbishment in Surrey this year.
Integrated appliances are highly effective at creating seamless, uninterrupted spaces and adding simplicity to your kitchen. If you’re just embarking on a kitchen refurbishment Surrey, then do get some local kitchen fitters in, such as www.thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk, to draw up a design that maximises storage while covering up your white goods.
Kitchen islands are a great way to add more cupboard space to a kitchen. However, if you are short on square footage, then you can also opt for half islands or chopped islands, creating an angular shape that might better suit your space.
Use up vertical space for storing things like your cookbooks, glassware, tea towels, and other items that you can’t fit in a drawer or cupboard.
Kitchens traditionally use a lot of cupboards, yet drawers can be far more practical for storing things such as saucepans and casserole dishes. What’s more, hidden pull-outs can make use of spaces that would otherwise be ‘dead’, such as the very top of a cupboard or drawer.
Not only can a pantry help keep all your dry food out of the way, but you can also use this space to store small to medium appliances that aren’t used on a daily basis, such as a mixer or blender.
Coffee machines and toasters can take up lots of space on worktops. So, why not design a designated breakfast cupboard that can be tidily closed for the remainder of the day?
