In increasingly busier times, modular kitchen accessories are essentials of a modern home. Modular kitchen accessories play an important role in enhancing the functionality and efficiency of the kitchen. The main advantage of these accessories is that they enhance the storage capacity, are highly durable, are resistant to rusting and are manufactured in stainless steel. Check out the most popular accessories that are available in the market and pick the ones which are most suitable for your kitchen.
1. Cutlery Organiser
A cutlery organiser comes with built-in partitions which are best-suited for keeping smaller items like forks, spoons, tongs, spatulas and knives. The cutlery organiser should always be close to the cooking hob so that the kitchen tools are easy to access.
2. Tall Unit
If space permits, install a tall unit in one corner of the kitchen because it provides ample storage space and is perfect for storing dry groceries, non-perishable kitchen ingredients and bulky utensils. Tall units are available in various designs, they come with slim storage on the doors and with internal pull out systems which make it easy to access the storage. For a compact kitchen, opt for a tall unit which extends from the floor-to-the-ceiling.
3. Kitchen Basket
One of the best ways to organise your utensils, pots, pans and jars is with kitchen baskets. They are available in different sizes which makes them perfect for deep and shallow storage. Some of the most popular kitchen baskets include cup and saucer baskets, utensil basket and plate racks.
Note that each kitchen basket has a recommended load bearing capacity. Therefore if the drawers are overloaded, then the alignment of the channels may get disturbed and result in the sagging of the drawers.
4. Corner Solutions
Make optimum use of the hard-to-reach corners of L-shaped and U-shaped kitchens so that they are easy to access. The corner units are available in the form of carousal units, L shaped shelves, magic corners and Lazy Susans which rotate on a central pivot.
5. Bottle Pull Outs
The bottle pullouts are narrow in width and comprise two or three shelves. They can be used for storing cooking essentials like cooking oil, bottles, cans, juices and different types of sauces. It is not advisable to store the bottles within open cabinets or the countertop as they result in a lot of visual clutter and attract a lot of dust and grime.
6. Under-Sink Units
This might be the most underutilised space in the kitchen. Make the most of this area with an under-sink unit for optimal storage for items such as cleaning supplies. Consider adding a bin holder on the shutter of the under-sink unit for a mess-free kitchen.
7. Rolling Shutter
Dedicate one area for storing all the kitchen appliances and cover the appliances with a rolling shutter which can be opened horizontally or vertically.
8. Midway Systems
If you are looking for modular kitchen accessories which can be fixed on the kitchen backsplash then go for midway systems like a hanging glass holder, hanging cup and saucer holder or a hanging multipurpose rack.
