Start with the kitchen problems you notice every day
A small kitchen does not need a perfect system. It needs storage that makes the things you use most easy to reach and easy to put away.
Clear the spaces that work hardest
Start with your benchtops, the area around the sink and the cupboards you open most often. Remove anything that does not belong there, then group similar everyday items together.
Use overlooked storage space
Look above, below and inside existing storage. A fridge planner can keep household information visible without adding another pile of paper, while shelves and organisers can make unused vertical space useful.
Make putting things away easier
The best storage system is one you can maintain. Keep everyday items in the easiest-to-reach places and give less-used items a defined home.
