Having a ‘type A’ personality, one of my biggest pet peeves is a cluttered kitchen. I crave order and organisation in my kitchen, where every appliance and utensil has a designated place where it belongs.
Smart storage options can be the distinguishing factor between a tidy and organised kitchen versus a cluttered and chaotic kitchen.
Kitchen storage options are a particularly important consideration when designing a smaller kitchen with a limited amount of space. Traditional storage options include corner cabinets, below as well as overhead cupboards and shelving. However, if this is not sufficient why not get creative? The team at Look Local WA have put together some unique and creative kitchen storage solutions below.
Add a crockery drawer – Do you hate that uncomfortable feeling of reaching above your head or bending down to lift a stack of plates from the cupboard? Opt for a pull out drawer instead. Take organisation to the next level by using wooden dividers to organise different size plates.

Pull out chopping board – My chopping board is one of those kitchen utensils that I just cannot live without. Consider installing a pull out chopping board strategically located above a rubbish bin drawer. By cutting through a hole in the chopping board you can easily sweep food scraps straight into the rubbish bin below.
