17 Feb Top Storage Ideas for Small Kitchens with Cupboards

A small home can feel limiting, but there are plenty of opportunities to be creative and make smart design choices to enhance your space. The right cupboards can make a big impact with little effort, improving how your kitchen serves you and offering better storage. At DIYCupboards.com, we have worked with homeowners to transform compact kitchens without breaking the bank.

While our DIY Express Kitchen range produces modern flatlet and office kitchens, we also manufacture and sell floor and wall units that align with your vision and interior style. Small additions, like adding a quality spice pull-out rack or corner carousel to your cupboard, improve storage without adding clutter to your countertops. The small considerations also go a long way in shaping your dream kitchen.

Utilise Wall Space: Go Vertical

In a small kitchen, walls are often underutilised, but they can help you maintain a clean and structured look while providing additional storage. With limited floor space, utilise the space between your countertops and ceiling by opting for taller units. Our professional DIY designer can work according to your measurements to create full-height wall units or smaller top-box units that fill the gap.

Corner Units: No Wasted Space

Spaced-out cupboards and large open areas can work in large spaces, but don’t work for small kitchens. Create a kitchen with corner cabinets and instantly feel the difference – more room to move, less awkward gaps that gather dust and go unused. We often recommend our 900mm kitchen floor unit for small kitchens, while the addition of a wall unit pulls everything together stylishly. If you need any design advice, we are always available to share valuable insight.

Customised Under-Counter Storage

While our base kitchen floor units are a great fit for most kitchens, smaller spaces sometimes need a more creative solution. Our DIY Designer can collaborate with you on storage solutions that match your home to perfection. From pull-out drawers for more accessible storage to additional shelves to divide units and make items easier to see and reach, we can design the right fit for any space.

Declutter Counters

The easiest way to feel overwhelmed in a small kitchen is with cluttered counters. Of course, certain appliances are fundamental to your kitchen. Our 600mm kitchen microwave unit lifts your microwave off the counter, forming part of the structure of your cupboards. Our 300mm kitchen wall end display unit is ideal for storing cookbooks or adding a touch of décor. These may seem like simple add-ons, but they really do make a difference.
