When it comes to kitchen design, storage is always at the top of the wish list. But creating a kitchen that’s both highly functional and beautifully designed doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style. At Jag Kitchens, we believe the best kitchens strike the perfect balance between practicality and aesthetics.
Here are some clever ways to maximise storage while keeping your kitchen sleek and stylish:
1. Go Vertical with Cabinetry
Make the most of your kitchen’s height by extending cabinetry up to the ceiling. Not only does this provide extra storage for less-used items, but it also gives the space a clean, seamless look.
2. Hidden Storage Solutions
From pull-out pantries to corner carousels, hidden storage makes every inch of your kitchen work harder. These solutions help keep benchtops clutter-free, maintaining a streamlined and modern feel.
3. Multifunctional Islands
Kitchen islands aren’t just for prepping food or entertaining guests – they’re prime real estate for extra drawers, shelving, or even hidden appliances. A well-designed island can dramatically increase both storage and style.
4. Drawer Innovations
Deep drawers with custom inserts are perfect for pots, pans, and utensils, keeping everything organised and easy to reach. Sleek drawer fronts also contribute to a contemporary, uncluttered design.
5. Display with Purpose
Open shelving or glass-fronted cabinets can break up solid cabinetry, allowing you to display beautiful dishware or décor pieces. This adds personality while still maintaining a polished look.
At Jag Kitchens, our design team specialises in creating kitchens that fit your lifestyle and your space. Whether you’re renovating a small Auckland kitchen or designing your dream open-plan layout, we’ll help you find smart storage solutions that don’t compromise on style.
