Kitchen Ideas
Overhaul your under-sink storage Cupboards under the sink can be the most tricky space in the kitchen for storage as it can be hard to navigate around all that awkward plumbing. The owners of this kitchen have used wire baskets to help separate dishcloths from cleaning products. They’ve also made use of the inside of the doors with shallow shelving to store bin liners and other everyday essentials. It can get wet under the sink, so opt for waterproof storage units made of plastic or metal, and choose ones that are also easy to pull out in case of any plumbing issues.
Put your bins away Freestanding bins take up floor space and can be an eyesore. If you can sacrifice a cupboard, pull-out bins will be your saving grace. Not only will they conceal any rubbish, but you can opt for a mix of containers to help you separate your trash from your recycling. If you can’t spare a whole cabinet, look out for smaller door-hung bins that you can attach to the cupboard door, while leaving room for other storage. Think about positioning, too, as you will find them useful near your sink or food-prep area
Light it your island There’s no doubt where the centre of this room is. The simple globe lights, grouped to create a fabulous cluster, highlight an impeccably tailored island unit, the sharp lines emphasised by the contrasting colours. Comfy seats enhance the glamorous bar vibe and encourage friends to linger.
White Countertop with light blue paint that matches the kitchen wall colour should work very well for me. Not very unlike this pastel island. Having lockable wheels on this island will be a luxury to have a serving space mobile to where ever needed An hanging rack above is the perfect combination for a sophisticated look to the kitchen space. The rack can be hung from the fan fixture provided and can be made from a light weight metal frame. The rack can be used to hold light weight glassware, cloth, tissue and artificial plants. Some lightweight lights could be a good add on to this hanging rack Consider the possibility of having a foldable overhang of the tabletop
Another great alternative to trendy open shelves above your main wall of cabinets is to instead use open shelves above a peninsula. This gives you a great visually obvious spot to place items that a guest might want to grab, but without completely boxing in sight lines, so you still feel like you can see into and out of the kitchen to rooms beyond
Depending on the layout of your kitchen, sometimes the ideal spot for an oven or a set of drawers will be a bit too close to an island or peninsula. This kitchen solves that issue by using a floating countertop that extends a bit beyond the peninsula base, so there isn’t anything in the way of swinging doors, or your legs, as you move about.
Sometimes all you need to make a kitchen feel decluttered and a bit more open is a simple tray. Gathering items like a knife rack, a spoon bin, a mortar and pestle and a kitchen timer all on a tray or cutting board visually tricks our brain into seeing them as organised. It’s a quick trick that can make a big difference to your sense of visual organisation
