Storage & Organisation

A Place For Everything

One of the most common problems people have with their existing kitchen is a lack of useful storage. A bespoke kitchen gives you the opportunity to fix that properly, with cabinets, drawers and internal storage designed around what you actually need to store and how you use the space every day.

At Designer Kitchen Direct, storage and organisation are considered from the very beginning of every project, not added as an afterthought.

Clever Larder and Pantry Storage

Tall larder storage is one of the most practical additions to a bespoke kitchen. Systems such as the Blum SPACE TOWER allow ingredients, jars and everyday essentials to be stored neatly in full-extension pull-outs, giving you clear visibility and easy access.

Whether you need a compact pull-out larder for a smaller kitchen or a larger pantry-style cabinet for a busy family home, we can design the storage around the way you shop, cook and live.

Smarter Drawers and Internal Organisation

Drawers are often far more practical than traditional cupboards, especially for pans, plates, dry ingredients and everyday cooking equipment. We have upgraded to Blum’s MERIVOBOX range, combining sleek, refined styling with practical everyday performance.

Using high-quality Blum drawer systems, we can create clever “flex units” that help work the space to its maximum. These can bring storage out to you and into the light, making it easier to see, reach and organise everything inside.

From deep pan drawers and hidden internal drawers to pull-out larders, integrated bins, beautifully organised cutlery inserts and tailored drawer dividers, we help you make better use of every inch of space.

Storage Beyond the Kitchen

A truly bespoke design can also improve the practical areas around the kitchen. Utility rooms, laundry spaces and boot rooms can be planned with the same level of care, helping to keep the main kitchen clear and organised.

Options can include stacked washer and dryer housings with pull-out shelves for laundry baskets, broom units, dedicated ironing board storage, cleaning cupboards, tray storage and practical zones for everyday household items.

Hidden Storage, Pantries and Butler Kitchens

Sometimes the best storage is the storage you do not see. Concealed doors can be used to create walk-through access to hidden pantries, utility spaces or butler kitchens, keeping the working areas of the home neatly tucked away.

This can be especially useful in open-plan kitchens, where you want the main kitchen to remain elegant and uncluttered, while still having generous space for food storage, appliances, preparation areas and everyday essentials behind the scenes.

Making Awkward Spaces Work Harder

Corners, sinks and plinths are often the most underused areas of a kitchen. With the right design, they can become some of the most useful.

Corner cupboard solutions can help bring hidden items within easy reach, while under-sink storage can provide a practical home for cleaning products, recycling bins and everyday essentials. In some designs, plinth storage or a discreet step solution can also help make use of space that would otherwise be wasted.

A Bespoke Place for Everything

Because our kitchens are made to order, your storage can be planned around your exact needs. That might mean a breakfast cupboard for the morning routine, tray storage beside the oven, a pull-out bin near the sink, a pantry cabinet for dry food, or deep drawers for heavy cookware.

Our designers will guide you through the storage options available and recommend the solutions that genuinely suit your home, rather than filling the kitchen with unnecessary gadgets. The result is a beautiful kitchen with a practical place for everything.
