Keeping Your Kitchen Organised
Kitchens have come a long way in the last few years with luxury features like soft close drawers now standard in most family homes. Modern kitchens also come with storage solutions that make it easy to access and clean up all your favourite appliances, keeping your bench spaces clear. New home designs can incorporate an abundance of storage options that make organising your kitchen a breeze.
Beyond the Lazy Susan
Sophisticated kitchens of the past may have featured a Lazy Susan in a corner cupboard, but today’s kitchen storage options take that a step further. Modern kitchens include everything from a specially designed bread box drawer to subtle vertical spaces that are perfect for storing baking sheets and pizza trays. Overhead storage has become more functional with lighting and pull-out shelves, so you can say goodbye to balancing on a stool, or even the kitchen bench. Drawers in the staging part of the kitchen are really where most of the innovation has happened. Lighting, under-bench pantry item storage, and customised storage inserts are among the solutions making their way into new house builds and renovations.
Butler’s Pantries become Standard in New Build Homes
Modern house floor plans are tending towards a large open plan kitchen with a butler’s pantry, where food and appliances can be stored and accessed easily. This leaves the kitchen free to be used as a dining room, an office, or even a coffee stop. A butler’s pantry will typically include a space for a second fridge or freezer, a sink for washing up and your dishwasher, or a second dishwasher if you entertain a great deal. With bench space for preparing quick meals and enough room to operate appliances like toasters and kettles, butler’s pantries are becoming a standard in most contemporary homes.
Floor to Ceiling Cabinets and Integrated Appliances
Create an eye-catching presentation for your glassware with bench-to-ceiling glass-fronted doors. Not only is this a trendy solution, it also provides the added benefit of being able to see exactly where an item is that you’re looking for.
Built in appliances can also minimise the cluttered look in your kitchen. Integrated cabinets give your kitchen a fluid look, making a smaller space look much larger.
