17 Hacks That Will Revolutionise Your Kitchen Space

Single-bowl sinks will seem more spacious but take up less room that a double-bowl sink.

Various types of fold-out and sliding shelf devices will make corner cabinet space more useable.

Cabinet-depth refrigerators stick out about 15cm to 20cm in front of your cabinets, robbing you of valuable floor space and crowding passageways.

If you’re designing a new kitchen, consider buying a shallow-depth refrigerator.

It’ll make your kitchen seem much more spacious, and depending on the floor plan, may even allow you to gain cabinet space across from the refrigerator.

Kitchen islands are more popular than ever, but because you need at least 90cm all around an island for walking space, they just don’t fit in most small kitchens.
A rolling kitchen cart will give you many of the benefits of an island and is more versatile.

Moving some of your bulkier or seldom-used items out of the kitchen and into a nearby pantry can free up a lot of space.

Look around.

You may have extra space in a nearby closet or hallway where pantry shelves would fit.

A pantry could be as simple as adjustable shelves on wall standards or a more elaborate built-in cabinet.

Good lighting helps by allowing you to make the best use of the space you have.

Dimly lit or shadowy countertops are hard to work at.

Adding undercabinet lights is a great way to make the countertops more useful while making a small kitchen feel larger.

Pull out solutions are perfect for small kitchens as they allow a decent amount of extra kitchen counter space with a very small footprint.

And a pull-out cutting board is perfect for food prep, cookbooks or for extra storage.

Plus, when you are done, you can simply slide it back into the cabinet.

Part countertop and part table, a drop leaf surface is a great way to maximise kitchen counter space.

And install on the wall or on the side of a base cabinet to extend the length of your fixed countertop.

This drop-down storage tray is ideal for keeping your cookbook or tablet dry and out of harm’s way while cooking your favourite recipe. Best of all, it’s simple to make.

Every homeowner wants to keep their tools organised – and that includes home chefs!

A rolling toolbox is a perfect alternative to a kitchen cart, is mobile and looks pretty good to boot.
