INTERNAL AFFAIRS

While drawers have the edge for storage capacity, internal organisers, as shown in this Provincial Kitchens example (above), can make the most of cupboard space. Simple stackers, available from Howards Storage World and Ikea, can double the carrying capacity of shelves, but be sure to check they can bear the overall weight before loading them up. Smart systems such as the Le Mans pull-out unit from Hafele will ensure nothing gets lost in the no man’s land of a corner cupboard, and behind tall cupboard doors lies the potential for easy-access storage in drawer-like fittings such as Blum’s Space Tower, ideal for pantry items.
