Storage Solutions for Small Kitchens in Sydney Central Coast

Trim Joinery • August 12, 2020

When Sydney homeowners have a kitchen with limited space, they find it challenging to include sufficient storage for their needs. They cannot depend upon the traditional methods for storing their kitchen items. Instead, they need to think of unique storage solutions that will help them maximise their kitchen space. Customised kitchen cabinets and shelving solutions can definitely provide the right answers, and choosing the right joinery services provider can really help a lot.


So, in order for you to come up with the right answer for your small kitchen, we provide you the following suggestions for storage options.

Hang a Ceiling Rack for Pots and Pans


Pots and pans store efficiently in a ceiling rack. Just install this rack far enough up to be out of the way of those walking through the kitchen. Also, these racks can be installed to raise and lower if you so desire.

Turn a Single Shelf into Two Shelves


Multiply your storage by transforming a single shelf into two or more shelves by installing rack units. This allows you to use the normally empty space as storage.

Slot Cabinets for Storing Baking Sheets


Place dividers in a cabinet to create slots for storing trays and baking sheets. Slotting cabinetry in this manner is quite cost-effective as well as efficient.

Use the Top of the Upper Cabinets


If your kitchen is similar to other ones today, there is a space between the upper cabinets and the ceiling. Do not let this space go to waste since it can add valuable storage to your kitchen. Be certain to arrange all the items neatly.

Create a Pantry


Allot one or two of your cabinets for a pantry if you do not have a closet or hallway to transform into one. Keep all your dry goods, canned foods and spices in the pantry.

Install Pull-Out Shelves in Lower Cabinets


To fully utilise lower cabinets for storage in your small kitchen, install pull-out shelves. You can access the items at the back easier in this manner as well as store more items in these cabinets. Another idea that also works is a Lazy Susan.

Replace a Plain Drawer with a Utensil One


Store your utensils effectively by installing a utensil drawer in place of a plain one. This type of drawer has slots for your various dinnerware pieces as well as cooking utensils.

Wall-Mounted Utensil Rack


An additional way to store your cooking utensils is with a wall-mounted rack. On the market today, you can find many types of innovative choices for these racks, including magnetic ones for storing knives.
