Interior experts point out that kitchen cabinets significantly impact a space’s practicality and visual appeal. So choosing the right size is key.
'Your lifestyle decides your cabinet choices,' says Darren Watts, kitchen guru at Wren Kitchens. "Open shelving, feature units, or glass-fronted cabinets are ideal if you like displaying decorative items. But in situations when that's less important or space is limited, closed storage is generally the better pick to keep things neat and tidy."
Remember, even in smaller kitchens, too many items on display can quickly make the space feel jumbled.
Darren also notes the importance of cabinet materials: "If you've got young kids around, perhaps avoid glossy finishes that attract fingerprints. Aesthetics aren’t everything; it's about how the kitchen works for your everyday routine."
To ensure the inside of your vertical cabinets stays as stylish as the exterior, add storage accessories like Lazy Susans, spice racks, or containers.
If you're eyeing dead space or yearning to upgrade your kitchen storage game, vertical cabinets are a no-brainer for a more organized kitchen experience.
Pro Tips to Maximize Storage in Your Small Kitchen
- Vertical Cabinets and Shelves
- Ensure your cabinets reach the ceiling to store infrequently used items like special occasion dishes or bulky cookware.
- Add floating shelves above cabinets or on walls for decorative items like cookbooks and kitchen gadgets.
- Accessories for Efficient Storage
- Lazy Susans make corner cabinets accessible, storing spices, oils, or small kitchen tools on shelves.
- Use magnetic spice racks on the fridge or near the stove for spices and herbs within arm’s reach.
- Store dry goods like flour, sugar, or pasta in clear glass jars on shelves or in cabinets for easy identification.
- Utilizing Dead Space
- Install shelves or a narrow cabinet in front of a window if the view doesn’t matter – it can be a great spot for herbs or small plants.
- For high ceilings, consider pull-down shelves for occasional-use items like large pots or pans.
- Use corner baskets or carousels to transform dead space into functional areas for cleaning supplies, kitchen gadgets, or cooking utensils.
- Modular Storage Ideas
- Incorporate modular hanging racks or baskets to store items like wine glasses, utensils, or dish towels.
