Compact kitchen STORAGE

From hard-working walls to space-saving shelves, these ideas will keep things neat

Keeping a kitchen clutter-free is always a challenge – and more so if your room is on the modest side. You need all the storage you can get to ensure it’s a functional, well-organised space that’s enjoyable to cook in, too.

The key to decluttering is organisation, which is equally true whether the space is small or sprawling. It’s important to think about what you need from your kitchen, as this will impact your design and storage requirements. Families may need space for larger pots and pans and more tableware, while those who love cooking may want custom storage solutions for cookbooks, cutting boards and specialist utensils.
