Often we hear homeowners say “I want many storage compartments in the kitchen to stash utensils and spices, but have it hidden from sight”. This lack of storage is truly a common shared concern among homeowners. Though many find it rather impossible to uncover more storage space out of thin air, the trick is simply to understand the space and be super creative at camouflaging it. Because no one likes clutter, a modern multifunctional kitchen can be quite confusing to navigate. But fear not, with an army of handy kitchen ideas and space-saving, storage-savvy tips on hand, you can hide and seek your kitchen's best potential - transforming it into a functional, fun, and fashionable heart of the home.
#1: A Secret Closet
This built-in bookshelve is an ingenious idea for hiding bulky items like luggage and boxes. Behind these built-in bookshelves is a secret closet that opens up and stores big items out of sight which can be adapted for your kitchen. Instead of a store room, you can transform this space into a hidden walk-in pantry.
#2: A Hidden Spice Rack
Just like any other playroom, the kitchen can get cluttered pretty quickly without us realizing it. But with the above example, you can organize your favourite spices easily, neatly and most importantly beautifully. The rack allows you to access your cooking needs by sliding its door to the left or right. When the doors are shut, you’ll be able to hide your spice collection like it wasn’t there at all as it blends seamlessly with the entire back-splash.
#3: No More Junk Drawer
Next are the drawers. What was once a less-than-functional junk drawer stuffed with unused items can be customized into an organized spice drawer. As the above image, this custom-built kitchen features a convenient spice rack that makes cooking easier now that every spice has its place.
#4: Breakfast Nest Storage
In the above example, you can see loads of hidden storage in the kitchen's banquette seating area. The breakfast nest is filled with built-in storage solutions including the hinged bench seats that lift for deep storage. The doors slide back on the cabinet to reveal a secret coffee bar with a coffee-making machine, pods, and drink-ware.
#5: A Loaded Kitchen Wall
Another trick to keeping your kitchen looking neat and tidy. The design dedicated an entire wall to concealed storage complete with drawers and doors. Inside the storage compartments, there is another layer of organization by optimizing the space with baskets, bins, jars, turntables, and stepped stands for smaller items such as spices.
#6: Hide a Large Appliance
Last but not least, think about the large appliances as their variation in sizes can create visual clutter. Just like the sample above, you can hide away bulky refrigerators, ovens and dishwashers behind closed doors to enhance the tidy kitchen look.
