Space-Saving Hacks For Your Small Kitchen
Disclaimer: you don't need a full-fledged pantry to organize your kitchen. If you have limited space, check out our smart tips for utilizing unused storage areas in your cabinets and drawers.
Install cabinets 🛠
Installing cabinets is an excellent alternative to having a walk-in pantry and can be customized according to your needs. Some people prefer adding shelves for extra storage space, while others cleverly hide away small items and clutter like electronics, appliances, or lighting fixtures 💡
Pull-out work surfaces are also great for saving on space. Your kitchen may start off feeling chaotic, but with built-in pantry cabinets, you can store everything neatly and within easy reach.
If you're looking for ideas on pantry cabinet designs, look no further than our contemporary collections of door handles and knobs. In the photo below, our WATT T-Bar Pulls create a minimalist, sophisticated culinary space that's both stylish and functional. Paired with soft mint paint and marble countertops, we're obsessed 🤩
Like all of our brass hardware, you can shop confidently knowing that they've been finished with a clear lacquered glaze to ensure long-lasting quality 🙌
Use drawers for storage 🧂
When organizing your small pantry space, it's important to prioritize accessibility over aesthetics. One of the simplest ways to keep things organized is by installing drawers for easy access to your small items and supplies. Opt for deep drawers that can accommodate bulkier items like flour, rather than cramming in lots of smaller items that can create clutter.
To add a touch of style to your pantry drawers, consider installing modern hardware such as our BECKER Grooved D-Bar Handle. This handle boasts a sleek square frame with rounded edges and a grooved grip, striking the perfect balance between form and function. For added versatility, you can choose from shorter or longer lengths.
For a cohesive look throughout your kitchen pantry, pair the BECKER Handle with our LENNON Grooved Button Knob.
Add storage to the inside of your drawers 🪂
When it comes to pantry organization ideas, it's easy to focus solely on the inside of the cupboards. However, you might be missing out on a valuable storage space right behind the cupboard doors 👀
While you can't store large items there, you can easily install racks, rails, and hooks to keep your smaller items organized. From frequently used herbs and spices to cleaning supplies and reusable bottles that always seem to disappear, think about how you can make your pantry work better for your daily needs.
To make cooking easier, hang your pots, pans, and favorite utensils with our MONROE Industrial Towel Rail and set of five BRONTE S Hanging Hooks. By having everything in its place, you'll enjoy a more relaxed cooking experience. If you appreciate subtle details in design, our beautiful gold hardware with its curved shape will greet you every time you open your cupboard doors ✨
If sleek Matt Black is more your style preference , check out our other hardware options like the PULLMAN Circular Hook. Sophisticated and streamlined , we recommend purchasing multiples for consistency throughout all of your pantry cupboards.
