Space management in kitchens has never been so important, especially with the growing trend towards open-plan designs. Most households have busy lifestyles so smart and organised storage is one of the key considerations in the planning of your kitchen. Storage should be dedicated to specific functions and activities with the aim of achieving a seamless and uncluttered look.
The kitchen should accommodate everything from dry ingredients, fresh foods, crockery and cookware through to units to store DVDs and even games! In many homes the kitchen is the central meeting area, so it’s vital to create a well- organised space that is a pleasure to use. The swing larder by Kesseböhmer is great for effortless access to the items that you are looking for.
Larders are making something of a comeback in modern kitchen design. With more of us enjoying cooking and entertaining at home this has paved the way for greater use of dedicated food storage, with larders being the obvious choice to create accessible storage with a place for all ingredients. If space is limited in the kitchen, there are also smaller pull – out larders available, these may be narrow but are surprisingly spacious and come with non-slip shelves, as demonstrated by the slim wall pullout below.
There is no excuse to have an inch of lost space in a corner cabinet. There are many clever solutions for both base and wall units from magic corners (as shown below) to pull-out shelves and carousels. Take a look at the comprehensive storage section on the Second Nature website for details of the many options available to suit just about every space.
