If you have a small kitchen you know the struggle of storage space and how important it is to make use of the space you already have. There are many ways you can save space and add additional storage without feeling like your cooking space is getting crowded.

You may find that a showroom featuring kitchens Colwyn Bay and the UK present innovative storage ideas, but storage is still an issue if your kitchen is half the size. Below we have listed five space-saving ideas for your little space, to ensure you get the most out of your kitchen.

First up is a single-bowl sink. These are not the modern-style sinks you get in kitchens these days, but they can save you a foot or more of counter space. There are various styles you can get of these sinks, which means there is one out there to suit your kitchen.

Another way to save space is to eliminate the unnecessary elements in the kitchen that are preventing you from having space, such as removing the door. Replacing the door with a nice, clean archway will open up the space. You will get more light, space and there will be no worries about someone trying to open the door with no space to enter.

Wall-mounted storage is another option, and enables you to utilise the space you already have. You can buy simple rails to place onto a panel which can hold saucepans, herbs, tea towels, utensils and much more. You can get various fixtures for your kitchen, which means the possibilities are endless.

Another storage idea is a design that has been well used over the last couple years and that is pull-out storage. The width of these pull-out storage containers is not much and usually sits beside your fridge or in-between cupboards. These are wide enough to store tins, jars, spices, small boxes and other items we tend to store in our cupboards.

Lastly we have floor-to-ceiling cupboards. Many kitchens have cupboards under counters, with smaller cupboards that sit on the wall at head-height. Although this is a typical design in our kitchen space, we can make do with more. Utilise all the space you have in your kitchen by installing a cupboard that reaches from the floor straight to the ceiling. You are guaranteed an extra-large shelf or two smaller shelfing areas to store more items.
