In this article, we will present to you different intelligent solutions to integrate during the renovation of your kitchen to best optimize your storage spaces.
Layout of cabinets for maximum space saving
Kitchen cabinets are often underutilized due to their lack of internal layout. However, a simple organization would make it possible to make maximum use of the available space while facilitating access to different utensils and foodstuffs. Here are some tips:
Choosing modular shelves
To avoid chaos in your cupboards, choose height-adjustable or telescopic shelves. They offer greater flexibility and easily adapt to the size of your objects. Don’t hesitate to add drawer dividers to divide the space and organize even more efficiently.
Install sliding drawers
Sliding drawers provide direct access to necessary utensils or products without having to dig into the depths of the cupboard. They can also be equipped with adjustable compartments to customize storage as needed.
Optimization of kitchen corners
When we talk about the distribution of elements in a kitchen, the corners are generally the weak point. No matter their size, these spaces are either too narrow or too difficult to access. Here are some solutions:
Install corner furniture
Corner furniture offers a practical and aesthetic solution to take advantage of the space freed up in corners. Some models even include swivel or extractable trays that allow you to easily access your utensils.
Choosing corner shelves
If you don’t have the option of integrating a corner unit into your kitchen, opt for corner shelves attached to the wall. They will allow you to use the space at height and install decorative objects or spice jars.
Exploitation of wall potential
Most kitchens have large unused wall spaces that could be used to optimize storage. Indeed, there are several very practical alternatives to put in place:
Magnetic splashback or utensil holder
A magnetic splashback installed above the worktop offers a different kind of space-saving storage while keeping your utensils within reach. These can be magnetic knives or even supports for your hot utensils. If it is not possible to install this type of storage, consider slightly angled utensil holders to create the same ease of use.
Support bar and hooks
Install a support bar, equipped with hooks for hanging utensils, spice jars and tea towels. This solution can be installed on a splashback as well as inside a cupboard or on a perforated panel. This frees up space in drawers and shelves to store other items.
Integration of intelligent caches for storage
Hide and seek solutions
To further optimize your storage spaces, hidden solutions can be integrated during the renovation of your kitchen. For example :
- Hidden spaces under tall furniture to store little-used utensils and objects.
- False drawer bottom allows you to hide less frequently used accessories while preserving the functional space of the drawer.
- Swivel storage units that fold into the cabinets once closed, to gain discretion.
By using these tips, you will make the most of your renovated kitchen, while having easy access to all your utensils, objects and foodstuffs.
