Perfectly placed

In need of a kitchen switch up? Kitchen Kit is on hand with some helpful tips to get organised this summer.

The kitchen is a room that sees family meal times, breakfasts before school, and home-cooked dinner nights amongst friends and family. The last thing you want to be doing amongst the chaos is to be searching aimlessly for the dried basil that ran out a week ago, or the mixing jug that never gets put back in the right cupboard. Investing time in designing and creating the perfect kitchen that works for you, with essential kitchen storage solutions, is a game changer. Your kitchen should suit you and your family’s needs, with every cupboard and every drawer arranged exactly how you like it. Here are just a few ideas that could really help in getting you started on your way to a perfectly organised kitchen.

Pull-out organisation

Drawers are a staple in almost any kitchen, but are they being utilised? By integrating a planning grid within your drawers you can personalise your cutlery, pots, pans, baking trays, herbs and spices, to name just a few. Nobilia has a variety of specialised planning grids that we know will upgrade your kitchen tenfold, but why stop there? Why not consider pull-out larders and pantry drawers? Alternatively, slim drawers for cooking sauces, or drawers within drawers are both amazing kitchen storage solutions. The pantry cupboard is another handy design, where a sealed drawer can be pulled out to store fruit, vegetables and bread. This will keep your worktops clean, clear and minimalist, whilst also freeing up valuable space in the fridge. In a modern, utopian twist, Ballerina Kitchens is also encouraging the use of drawers to store homegrown herbs. As kitchen storage solutions go, this finally rockets us forward into the 21st century – a chance to grow your own herb garden in the comfort of your own kitchen, readily available to tend to whenever you are cooking up a storm in the evenings, or making your morning coffee.

Stationary cupboard organisation

You needn’t have fancy pull-out drawers to keep your kitchen storage solutions in tip-top shape. Investing in some floor-to-ceiling cupboards with smart, in-built storage solutions may be all you need. A kitchen storage solution idea that will help with those shelves that seem to be overflowing with unused oils, sauces and spices, is the tiered shelf. This modern-day hack allows you to arrange those pesky cupboard condiments in a way that sorts them from high to low, giving you full view over each one. Another particularly useful kitchen storage solution is the unit for drinks case by Nobilia Kitchens. Instead of filling up your fridge and any spare cupboard you have with drinks bottles, store them in this floor-to-ceiling crate holder until you are ready for them to be chilled. This can also be used for longlife milk, squash, wine, beer, spirits, cordials and cartons of juice.

Fridge organisation

From in-built kitchen storage solutions to the Mrs Hinch method of arranging your pasta, rice, lentils, beans and peas into individual, easy-to-use jars, Kitchen Kit’s cupboards can be the ultimate display of organisation. But your storage solutions needn’t be restricted to the kitchen cupboards. The family fridge can be a haven for tasty treats and resplendent refreshment, when it hasn’t turned into a disorganised dungeon! So, why not adopt some of these kitchen storage solutions in the chilled section of your home, and arrange your fridge shelves with as much care and attention as you would your cupboards?
