With the growing space crunch in homes, the kitchens of today too have to make do with smaller areas. However, this does not have to mean less storage space. With careful planning, one can always maximize space in any kitchen. The optimal use of storage space is vital and this has to be done systematically as the kitchen is a multifunctional area. It is the one space in the house where so many activities go on besides cooking and storage of food items.
The golden rule for freeing up any space anywhere is to first make it clutter-free. This also gives the room a neat and organised look and also makes it more pleasant to work in. Identify and discard any unusable utensils/unused pots and pans or any crockery. There are countless varieties of kitchen racks available in the market today. There are styles and sizes to suit every need. Kitchen storage should ideally use overhead cupboards and open shelves which are wall mounted.
However, both these should be within easy reach. Secondly, use pull-out cabinets for lower-level storage space. You can also have a pull-out counter top space for cutting and other processes or a wall-mounted pull-out table. Often, the major part of kitchen counter top and storage space is taken up by appliances. One way to increase storage space is to use combination or multifunction ones to reduce space needed. For example, there is a device which is both an oven and can brew coffee or a toaster. Some brands combine microwaves with coffeemakers and so on.
