There are storage solutions for every orphaned centimetre of your kitchen. Before adding to the major spec’, ensure you can already see into and access the storage you have — those base and wall cabinets and soaring pantry units. These big boxes, are your macro-storage.

Scavolini are one of a number of kitchen designers offering truly imaginative uses for even 30cm sliver of upright space, walls of storage and more (see their Mia kitchen ideas). Even then, micro-storage can follow.
