BEFORE AND NOW ⟩ An IKEA interior designer teaches how to furnish an open plan kitchen using the example of a house

Neat drawers and shelves allow you to store more things in the kitchen

Small kitchens need intelligent solutions to make the most of the space. It is not always possible to change the dimensions of the kitchen, but you can find other solutions to create more space: adding additional furniture, shelves, trolleys, hooks, accessory trees and organizing the inside of the shelves and drawers.

Very often in the kitchen the wall space between the worktop and the cabinet remains unused. “By using several accessory trees with hooks, magnetic knife holders, or adding open shelves, you can keep your countertop clean and store spices, cups or cutlery on the wall instead,” advises the interior designer.

The interior designer recommends keeping the most used things in drawers so that they are easily accessible. On the upper shelves, however, there are objects needed after cooking, such as crockery and serving cutlery, glasses and cups.

“If your kitchen surface is limited and clean dishes take up too much space on the countertop while drying, a dryer placed in the cabinet is the perfect solution. Use a dish dryer to dry dishes by adding the upper shelves to the cabinet, freeing up space on the worktop. The tray collects water dripping from the dishes and can be easily emptied by removing it from the cabinet and pouring the water into the sink,” suggests Castro.

According to the interior designer, more shelf space can be created with the contents of the shelves. The cymbals hold the cymbal holders in place, protecting them from scratches and breakages that can result from multiple stacks.

A complete system helps create order in the kitchen
