In the realm of luxury kitchen design, storage is one area that many homeowners try to maximise.
At The Brighton Kitchen Company, we believe that a well-organised kitchen is the foundation of culinary creativity and effortless entertaining. Whether you’re working with a compact kitchen or a sprawling open-plan space, intelligent storage solutions can elevate both aesthetics and function, transforming your kitchen into the perfect space to host, entertain, and store everything you need.
Let’s explore some innovative ways to maximise your kitchen’s storage potential, ensuring every millimetre of space works as hard as it looks beautiful.
The Art of Seamless Kitchen Aesthetics
Gone are the days when visible storage was a necessary evil. Today’s luxury kitchens seamlessly integrate storage into the overall design, creating a sleek, uncluttered aesthetic. This could include:
- Handleless kitchen cabinets: Opt for push-to-open mechanisms or recessed handles for a streamlined look that maximises visual space.
- Hidden pantries: Consider a walk-in pantry disguised behind cabinetry panels, offering abundant storage without disrupting your kitchen’s visual flow.
Maximise Space Vertically
In small kitchen design, thinking vertically is key to maximising storage potential. Our kitchen designers in Sussex excel at utilising often-overlooked vertical spaces.
- Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry: Extend cabinetry to the ceiling to capitalise on every available centimetre. Use the topmost shelves for seasonal or rarely-used items.
- Tall pull-out pantries: Slim, vertical pull-out units can fit into narrow spaces, offering surprising amounts of storage for dry goods, herbs and spices.
- Magnetic wall strips: Install sleek magnetic strips to hold knives, utensils, or small metal containers, freeing up limited drawer space.
Bespoke Kitchen Islands
A well-designed kitchen island can serve as a focal point while offering plenty of storage opportunities.
- Multipurpose islands: Incorporate deep drawers, wine fridges, or even a dishwasher into your island design.
- Breakfast bar storage: Utilise the space beneath a breakfast bar for open shelving or additional drawers and cabinets.
- Moveable kitchen islands: For smaller kitchens, consider a mobile island that can be repositioned as needed, offering flexible storage and ample preparation room.
Utilising Kitchen Corner Space
Kitchen corners often present storage challenges, but with the right approach, they can offer plenty of additional room.
- Magic corners: These innovative systems allow easy access to deep corner cabinets, with pull-out shelves that glide smoothly into view.
- ‘Lazy Susans’: A classic solution reimagined for modern kitchen designs, today’s lazy Susans offer sleek design and effortless organisation.
- Corner drawers: Triangular drawers that pull out diagonally can make use of every available millimetre of corner space, without encroaching too much on the floor.
Open Storage with Panache
While concealed storage has its place, thoughtfully designed open storage can add character and accessibility to your kitchen.
- Floating shelves: Sleek, minimalist floating shelves offer a perfect platform for displaying beautiful, pristine dishware or curated accessories.
- Glass cabinets: Illuminate glass-front cabinets to showcase stunning china and glassware while adding depth and interest to your kitchen design.
- Pot racks: A statement pot rack can free up cabinet space while adding a professional chef’s touch to your kitchen.
