CREATING ZONES

When it comes to a small kitchen, Graeme Metcalf from Dan Kitchens recommends a combination of roller doors, cabinet doors and drawers to create storage zones. Small appliances such as kettles are best left on the bench, but out of sight. Drawers, while pricier than cupboards, can hold significantly more, so have as many as possible. Aim for a combination, with deep drawers for bulkier items, and corral cutlery, knives and smaller items in shallow drawers with dividers for ease of access.
