Kitchen Storage
Galley kitchens fail when everything lives on the worktop. The useful upgrades are vertical, inside cupboards, or on the rare stretch of wall that is not already a window. These guides are about making a small UK kitchen cookable, not 'styled'.
Key buying considerations
Worktop is the scarce resource. Anything that steals it needs to earn a daily job.
Cupboard depth and door swing
Pull-out racks are brilliant until they hit the oven door. Measure the aisle with both doors open.
Renters cannot move the units
Over-door, tension, and inside-cupboard fittings do more in a rental than a new island you cannot have.
Decanting is not a personality
Jars only save space if they replace bulky packaging and you will refill them. Otherwise they are more clutter.
