Maximising Bench Space with Clever Storage Solutions
Maximising Bench Space with Clever Storage Solutions
In most households the kitchen is a buzzing hub; a space where cooking, dining and socialising all come together. Striking the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics is crucial when designing your dream kitchen.
One of the most common challenges in kitchen design is maximising benchtop space. This is where innovative cabinet designs come into play, offering practical solutions to enhance both organisation and functionality. Luma are experts at utilising space while maintaining style. Here’s our guide to maximising bench space when thinking about your new kitchens layout.
Multi-functional islands
Kitchen islands are not just for additional counter space. By incorporating cabinets and drawers into your island, you can store pots, pans, or even integrate appliances like dishwashers or microwaves, freeing up vital bench space.
These designs not only maximise the efficiency of your kitchen layout but also contribute to a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. With thoughtful planning, a kitchen island can become the multifunctional centrepiece of your kitchen as well as a meeting point for the entire family.
Vertical storage solutions
Maximise your kitchen’s vertical space by installing cabinets that extend all the way to the ceiling.
These tall cabinets provide additional storage while also helping to keep your benchtops clear of clutter, creating a more organised and spacious kitchen.
Additionally, the extra height can be aesthetically pleasing, giving your kitchen design a grander look and allowing you to make the most of every inch of available space, from floor to ceiling.
Rotating Shelves
Kitchen corners can often be tricky spaces to design around, but they don’t have to be wasted.
Corner cabinets can be equipped with rotating shelves or pull-out racks that transform these areas into highly functional storage spaces.
Rotating shelves make it easy to access items stored at the back of a cabinet, ensuring that no space goes to waste. This is a simple way to make sure you utilise every inch of cupboard space, while keeping clutter off the worktop.
Custom Cabinetry
Every kitchen has its own unique shape, size and style. Custom fit cabinetry not only allows you to tailor your cabinets to fit perfectly in your kitchen, but allows you to determine things like drawer and shelf depth.
For instance, dedicated wine racks can be incorporated, keeping bottles off the bench, or even deep drawers so you can store small appliances like toasters and kettles, keeping them hidden yet accessible.
Luma offers a wide range of colours and finishes to completely personalise your cabinetry, so it’s a custom fit and style.
Whether you’re designing a new kitchen or looking to upgrade your current space, these tips can help you make the most of every inch.
