However beautiful a kitchen looks, it has to work hard every day. The difference between a kitchen you tolerate and one you love is almost always storage. Here are the bespoke kitchen storage solutions our designers use most to make every cupboard earn its place.
The full-height larder
No single feature transforms a kitchen like a larder. With internal shelving, drawers and door racks, it keeps dry goods, small appliances and everyday essentials behind one elegant cabinet. Bi-fold pocket doors can hide the kettle and toaster entirely, keeping worktops clear and the room calm.
Make corners work
Corner cupboards are notorious for swallowing pans into a black hole. Pull-out corner carousels, magic corners and curved pull-outs bring everything stored in the corner out to you, so nothing is forgotten at the back.
Drawers over cupboards
Deep pan drawers are far easier to use than low cupboards — no kneeling and rummaging. Fitted with adjustable pegs, they keep pots, pans and crockery neatly in place, while shallow drawers with cutlery and utensil inserts keep everyday items tidy and to hand.
Tall units and pull-outs
Slim pull-out larders make brilliant use of narrow gaps beside an oven or fridge — perfect for oils, jars and bottles. Tall units take storage right up to the ceiling, using space that would otherwise be wasted and reducing the dust-gathering gap on top.
A place for everything
The real luxury of a bespoke kitchen is that storage is designed around you — bin and recycling pull-outs where you prep, a dedicated spot for the food mixer, drawer dividers for exactly your utensils. When everything has a home, the kitchen stays calmer and works beautifully.
