How to Utilize Valuable Space on the Kitchen

When planning a new kitchen, we mostly think about major components: cabinet layout, tiles, appliances, and range hood. But we forget about small items that will bother us for life: bulky pots, powdered products, endless spice jars, and oil bottles.

To make the most of every centimeter of precious kitchen space, carefully plan the contents of your kitchen cabinets during the initial design phase. Numerous organizers and kitchen accessories will help you. Also, don't forget to plan the most underrated area in the kitchen — its corner. We've borrowed valuable tips from designer Anastasia Ramazanova and now know how to use the space with maximum benefit.

Anastasia Ramazanova creates design projects remotely and in-person, and runs a blog where she shares useful and practical tips.

Simple Shelves

The cheapest and simplest option. However, it's not the most ergonomic: part of the module becomes a 'dead zone' and is not used properly.

'Magical Corner'

It can come with a grid: convenient for storing pots, pans, and other bulky items. Drawback: it's hard to retrieve lids from the corner.

Le Mans

Each shelf in this design can be pulled out individually from the cabinet. By the way, such a mechanism is convenient to hide not only in the lower corner module but also on the upper shelf. You can hide small items there: tea, coffee, spices, and more.

Twin Corner

Both shelves in the lower module extend simultaneously. Note the edge of the mechanism — they can be different!

Carousel

Carousels can be with a cutout or fully round (slightly less convenient), on an axis (cheaper), or without an axis (more expensive, but the cabinet becomes even more spacious).

Organizer

An excellent solution for storing waste and household items. There are various structures and configurations available. Search 'rational Lemi corner' on Google.

Corner Drawers

This is not a trend among Instagram influencers! This is a real alternative to a standard corner cabinet. These are called Space Corner full-extension drawers.
