5 Tips to Maximise Your Kitchen Space

1. Utilise vertical space

Unlike other designers, we think beyond using your floor space for countertops and cabinets. Vertical storage is the most space-effective way to ensure you can store everything you need in your kitchen without sacrificing aesthetics or ease of access. We consider options like floating shelves, wall cabinets, and floor-to-ceiling pantries. Our solutions are tailored to your needs—whether you have an extensive collection of pots and pans, a multitude of spices, prefer cooking from a book or you’re an oven meal person. Our storage options are customised to your lifestyle.

2. Incorporate multifunctional furniture

Multifunctional furniture can be a game-changer in kitchens where space is at a premium. We design kitchen islands or peninsulas with built-in storage and consider extendable dining tables that can be tucked away when not in use. Stackable or nested stools save space without sacrificing seating. This approach maintains an aesthetically pleasing design while maximising utility.

3. Innovate with storage solutions

Built-in storage solutions are essential for making life easier. From cutlery organisation to spaces for utensils, plates, and pans, there are endless options when you work with a professional like Prestons. We ensure shelf and drawer sizes suit your equipment and ingredients, making everything easily accessible. Your lifestyle informs all our storage decisions, providing you with a functional kitchen, tailored to your needs.

4. Choose the Right Colour Palette

Aesthetics can make or break a kitchen. We design spaces you’ll love inside and out. Light colours and reflective surfaces can make a small kitchen feel more open and airy. Stainless steel appliances and glossy laminates reflect light, creating the illusion of a larger space. Under-cabinet LED lighting not only brightens your workspace but also adds depth and dimension.

5. Create a Decluttered Space

A clutter-free kitchen is essential for maximising space. We focus on hidden storage solutions that make your kitchen easy to organise, tidy, and refresh. Drawer organisers are chosen to benefit you and your kitchen specifically. By designing your next kitchen with Prestons, you’re ensuring a beautiful, efficient space created by experts—all without paying a premium.
