A challenge that most homeowners face, whether they live in large modern houses, small apartments, studio apartments, or city homes, is the struggle to fit in as much as possible into the kitchen to make it comfortable. After all, Indians love to cook! Even in the smallest of kitchens, a bit of brainstorming is all that it takes to create additional storage or workspace. An unused corner, untapped walls, or sometimes even a smart design such as a kitchen partition or an island can make space for kitchen shelves and cabinets. Draw inspiration from the stylish and innovative ideas of professional kitchen planners or seek help from a design professional to make working in the kitchen easy.

1. Storage in the island

Increase the storage space by designing an island that serves as a multipurpose space in the kitchen. Customize the size and style of the island countertop and the drawers and cabinets below it to create storage on two or three sides of the unit.

2. Build storage in the partition

Don’t waste the partition used to separate the dining from the kitchen. Use it to build storage on both sides. Hang an open shelf from above the open countertop to create more storage and to save space in the kitchen.

3. Stretch it up to the ceiling

Stretch the kitchen cabinets to maximize the storage space in a small kitchen in a studio apartment or a tiny flat. Store infrequently used gadgets or utensils on the upper shelves. Every corner used to create shelves is space saved in the kitchen. 

4. To suit the shape of the kitchen

The U-shaped kitchen layout offers the maximum storage space as it makes use of three sides of the kitchen. Design the kitchen in the shape of a U and build kitchen cabinets and shelves on all sides. Select the right combination of kitchen cabinets, drawers and shelves to maximize the storage space and accessibility in the kitchen.

5. Built-in shelves for appliances in the kitchen

The clean lines and clutter-free counters in a kitchen create an illusion of spaciousness. Built-in shelves can accommodate almost everything in the kitchen. They can even be used for built-in electrical appliances such as the oven and microwave to keep the kitchen perfectly functional.

6. Open shelves for display

Earlier, open shelves were quite common in Indian kitchens. They still are efficient and convenient in a crowded kitchen. The advantage of open shelves is that there’s no need to search for things as everything is visible. Open wood shelves for stacking spice jars, hooks under the shelves for hanging utensils – it’s a simple way to create storage space in a small kitchen.

7. Incorporate innovation to create storage

Elegantly styled hanging shelves in a modern kitchen that is part of an integrated social area of the home can become the focal point in the décor. Use it to display exquisite china and flaunt chic accessories with élan.

8. Innovative designs for providing hidden storage

Explore innovative solutions to hide storage behind a collapsible worktable or even a pull-out dining table. It’s an excellent idea for creating a functional workspace in modern homes where space comes at a premium. It can be used either as a work desk in a temporary home office or an additional work counter in the kitchen when the family cooks together.
