For so many people, the kitchen is a crucial room in the house – more essential even than the lounge or living room. A cooking area is an all important, all-inclusive multi-tasking domestic space that requires some consideration and design deliberation. 

The kitchen is the beating heart of the home, and this is essential to remember when planning and conceiving its layout and storage. It is an area that offers so much more than merely storing produce or chopping and preparing food; for many, it's the centre of a household where we unravel, unwind, chat and chill out. It’s a zone filled with potential and should be designed in an uncomplicated and clutter free fashion. 

However, a small kitchen often poses plenty of challenges, especially where storage is concerned. If you’re in need of a helping hand, we’ve got 8 brilliant storage tricks for tiny kitchens that are sure to inspire. Check them out below!

1. Add overhead shelving

Overhead shelving is simple enough to add or retrofit, and will make the most of your wall space. Boost your storage by adding some exposed shelves that look stylish and serve an important function.

2. Think a little outside the kitchen

Your kitchen’s storage doesn’t have to begin and end in the kitchen. Relocate items that don’t need to be there (think wine, barware, recipe books, glassware) and store them in another area of the home, such as the dining room or lounge.

3. Re-organise your corner cupboards

Corner cupboards are notorious for becoming cluttered a messy. Generally hard to reach with hidden alcoves, these corner spaces should be regularly cleaned and audited to provide functionality and usefulness. Set aside 5-10 minutes each week to realign jars and make sure nothing has fallen into the deep recesses of unseen nooks.

4. Add boxes and containers
