Few Tips To Smartly Store Small Wolf Appliances In Your Kitchen

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.

 Tea station - One of the most practical way to store small appliances like a coffee machine and a toaster is in a cabinet. You can have the cabinet built over a worktop. It would be even better if the worktop is at the end of a wall or towards a corner - area that is not much used anyway. You can simply close the doors of the cabinet when you do not need the appliances. It will be wise to have power points installed at the back of the cabinet so that the appliances can be powered instantly whenever required.

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.

The size of appliances may differ from brand to brand. Products from reputed brands like Wolf appliances have standard sizes and therefore, are easier to store even inside stock cabinets. However, if you are going for custom cabinetry, consult a cabinetry designer to know how you can incorporate the aforementioned ideas in the designs so that the storage space and usability of your kitchen are maximized.
