When planning a new fitted kitchen, storage is often just as important as style – if not more so. A beautifully designed kitchen should also be practical, organised and easy to live with day to day. That’s where clever kitchen storage solutions make all the difference. From keeping worktops clutter-free to making the most of awkward spaces, the right storage can completely transform how your kitchen works.
Below, we explore three of the most popular and effective kitchen storage solutions we regularly design into our kitchens – all of which can be tailored to suit your space, your lifestyle and the way you use your kitchen.
1 – Chef Pantries
Chef pantries have become one of the most sought-after kitchen storage solutions, and it’s easy to see why. A chef pantry is essentially a dedicated storage zone – often hidden behind doors – that can house everything from food and drinks to small appliances and coffee machines.
Going bespoke is absolutely key with a chef pantry. Every home and every kitchen layout is different, which is why made-to-measure design is so important. When you choose a bespoke solution, your chef pantry can be any size and any shape – whether that’s a full wall of cabinetry, a compact pantry tucked into a corner, or even a walkthrough design linking the kitchen to a utility space.
Internally, a chef pantry can be configured exactly how you want it. Love your morning coffee routine? Internal drawers and shelves can be designed specifically for a coffee station, with space for mugs, pods, syrups and even a built-in socket for your machine. Prefer to keep worktops clear? A chef pantry is perfect for hiding away appliances such as toasters, air fryers and mixers, keeping them accessible but out of sight.
Many homeowners also use chef pantries as a drinks hub – with shelves for bottles, pull-out drawers for cans, and space for glassware. This flexibility is what makes chef pantries one of the most versatile kitchen storage solutions available – they’re designed entirely around how you live.
2 – Space Tower Larders
Another highly effective option when it comes to kitchen storage solutions is the space tower larder. These are tall larder units that feature pull-out drawers hidden neatly behind a single door, offering easy access and excellent visibility.
Unlike traditional larder cupboards, where items can get lost at the back, space tower larders allow everything to glide out towards you. This makes it much easier to see what you have, stay organised and avoid food being forgotten or wasted. Each internal drawer can be configured for different uses – from dry goods and tins to snacks, baking supplies or even pet food.
One of the biggest advantages of space tower larders is that they can be made to suit almost any kitchen layout. Whether you have a compact kitchen or a larger open-plan space, these larders can be designed in a range of widths and heights. Going bespoke again ensures you get the maximum amount of storage without compromising on flow or aesthetics.
As kitchen storage solutions go, space tower larders are ideal for homeowners who want functionality without clutter – everything has its place, and everything is easy to reach.
3 – Pull-Out Corner Units
Corner cabinets are often one of the most awkward parts of a kitchen – but with the right kitchen storage solutions, they can become some of the most useful. Pull-out corner units are designed to make full use of what would otherwise be wasted space.
Rather than having to reach deep into a dark cupboard, pull-out corner systems bring the contents out smoothly and effortlessly. These units are perfect for storing pots, pans, small appliances or bulkier items that don’t fit easily elsewhere.
There are several styles of pull-out corner storage, all designed to improve accessibility and organisation. The key benefit is that no space is lost – every inch of the corner is utilised, making them an excellent choice for both large and small kitchens.
For anyone looking to maximise storage while keeping their kitchen easy to use, pull-out corner units are one of the most practical kitchen storage solutions available.
