Do you like small appliances? A
mixer for baking, blender for smoothies, a coffee maker, a sandwich toaster, a
rice cooker - even though these may seem trivial in comparison to big white
goods like refrigerator or cooktop hood, these are the very appliances that you
need the most on a daily basis. However, storing these small appliances, in
your kitchen in a way that they are easily accessible and yet your kitchen does
not look cluttered, is quite a feat. No matter how big your kitchen is, when it
comes to storing small appliances, it might still seem small.
The trick is to make space
specifically for the appliances rather than keeping them all on the counter.
You must find places where they can be kept out of the way but still easily
reachable. Here are a few ideas that you may consider in order to make the most
of the available space in your kitchen and store small appliances in a smart
way.
Slide-out shelf - It would be an ordeal to carry out
a toaster or a blender onto the countertop every time you want to use it. It is
best to install a sliding shelf inside the cabinet so that you can pull the
appliances out easily, use them and then slide them back in. Not only does this
arrangement prevent the buildup of heat and steam inside the cabinet but it also
keeps your appliances from getting damaged.
Corner cabinets - If the internal space of a corner cabinet is planned well, it
can hold many appliances. If you have a wine fridge, it can be installed inside a corner cabinet. If you want to store
multiple appliances in it, have shelf extensions installed inside the cabinet.
Appliance garage - In case you have space to spare in your kitchen, you can create
a designated appliance garage with many power outlets. In the garage all small
cabinets can be lined up side by side along a worktop. Yet they can remain away
from the countertop. The appliance garage can have a single sliding door or if
the space allows it, bi-folding doors. This would be more practical and easier
to use than a conventional shelf. This arrangement would be better than
allowing your kitchen whizzes to stay stored at the back of a cabinet.
