If you love cooking but don’t quite enjoy working in your kitchen, then you need to stop and ask why that is. A probable answer to that question may be the lack of proper storage for your essentials in the kitchen. When the countertop is flooded with things, and you have to struggle to make space when preparing your dish each time, then there is serious trouble brewing. Solve the problem of less space, untidiness and difficulty of workability in your kitchen with practical kitchen storage drawers. These drawers easily fit in any type of kitchen design without disturbing the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen and overall home décor.
Manage the Mess and Stress—Smart, Space-Saving Kitchen Drawers and Storage Hacks
Your perfect home interior doesn’t deserve a disorganised kitchen. Make the most of your cooking time with practical and time-saving kitchen storage drawers for the most used utensils and food products in your kitchen. Here are the four must-have storage drawers that your kitchen needs right now.
Cutlery Tray
For your cutlery, a cutlery tray or a spoon drawer is the best thing. The tray helps you keep all your cutlery in one place but separate according to their type and usage with its divided sections. The cutlery tray/spoon drawer enables you to easily reach out to your needed knife and spoon without searching hard and losing precious time during your cooking sessions.
Spice Racks
Indian cuisine is the richest in the world in terms of the varieties of spices used. There are more than 40 spices used in Indian cooking. So, every Indian kitchen needs a separate rack for storing a large number of spices. There are many innovative, space-saving and beautiful looking spice racks that you can choose for your kitchen. You can pick the spice rack depending on the number of spices you use, thus ensuring it does not take more space than required.
- If you use a limited number of spices, you can go for three or four jar spice storage with a tray and small built-in drawers that can easily adjust in a tiny corner of the countertop.
- If you use multiple spices, you will love the two- or three-tier spice racks that accompany all your spices neatly on the walls.
- There are also rotating spice racks that require very little space and provide easy access to the spices and other condiments.
Tall Units
When it comes to kitchen supplies, the more storage you add, the lesser it seems. Enter tall units—an end to all your kitchen storage woes. A tall unit—with its multiple drawers—does a perfect job of storing non-refrigeration essentials. With this addition, you can never go out of space for your kitchen supplies, even when you go bulk shopping. And a tall unit takes the least amount of space while adding elegance to your kitchen.
Wall Shelf or Roller Shutters
Your countertop can be more spacious if you take out the little and large appliances. Plus, the appliances make the countertop look cluttered even after the cooking is done and it is cleaned. Have separate storage for your blenders, kettles, toasters, etc., and make your workstation more spacious and neater. Roller shutters are the best storage ideas for appliances as they keep them out of sight when not in use. You could also have a rack or a wall shelf or even create a separate section on the countertop for appliance storage, depending on your likes and preferences.
Hooks
Another space-saving and smart kitchen storage idea are to have rods and hooks installed on your kitchen walls. There are a lot of advantages of having hooks on your kitchen walls:
- You can use these to hang your napkins, pans, and cups. You can easily hang different-sized pans on the hooks instead of stacking them uncomfortably in the drawers.
- Hanging your cups on the hooks will ensure they are more safely stored than in those drawers that are often recklessly opened and cause the fragile cups to collide with each other and become prone to breakage.
- Storing utensils on hooks not only saves space in the drawers, cabinets and countertop but also saves you the time you take to search for them in the drawers. One look, and you can immediately grab the pan or cup you need without going into the trouble of opening the drawer or cabinets and searching for them inside.
- Utensils hanging on hooks make your kitchen look chic and resemble a kitchen of a chef.
