The most beautiful kitchens don’t just look good, they work beautifully too. At Harvey Jones, we believe that kitchen storage should be more than practical. It should feel effortless, personalised, and quietly luxurious.
Whether you’re designing a compact city kitchen or a generous family space, the way you store, organise and display your essentials plays a vital role in how your kitchen functions every day. In this guide, we share some of our favourite kitchen storage ideas to help you make the most of your space without compromising on style.
Bespoke Kitchen Storage Ideas That Work for You
Bespoke cabinetry is where form meets function. Because each of our kitchens is crafted to order, storage can be fully tailored to your lifestyle, from deep pan drawers beneath the hob to hidden compartments for appliances, cleaning supplies or tech.
Tall cabinetry helps maximise vertical space and can be configured to house everything from integrated fridge-freezers to curated crockery collections. When it comes to truly functional luxury, every detail matters.
Larder Units: A Timeless Storage Statement
The modern larder is a design statement as much as a storage solution. Whether freestanding or built-in, larders offer generous space for dry goods, small appliances and everyday items, all behind elegant cabinetry doors.
Our clients love to personalise their larders with oak shelving, custom door racks and even integrated lighting. It’s the perfect blend of heritage charm and modern function.
Storage with Style: Open Shelving and Glazed Dressers
Not all storage needs to be hidden. Open shelves and glazed cabinets introduce personality into a kitchen, a place to display ceramics, glassware, cookbooks or even artwork.
These design elements help break up the solid lines of cabinetry and create a sense of openness, especially in kitchens with high ceilings or natural light. Pair practical storage with visual interest for a kitchen that feels lived-in yet considered.
Small Spaces, Big Ideas
Even the most compact kitchens can feel luxurious with the right storage choices. Clever additions such as:
- Pull-out shelving in awkward corners
- Internal organisers in slimline cupboards
- Multi-functional kitchen islands with hidden compartments
…all help maximise space without compromising style.
A well-designed small kitchen doesn’t feel like a compromise, it feels intentional.
Zone with Purpose
Luxury is often found in the way a kitchen flows. Zoning your kitchen – allocating storage around how you use the space, makes cooking, hosting and everyday living feel seamless.
- Store mugs and breakfast items near the kettle or coffee station
- Position pans and utensils close to the hob
- Keep crockery near the dishwasher for easy unloading
These small kitchen storage ideas prove that considered design doesn’t require large square footage, just smart planning.
Invest in the Details
True craftsmanship shows in the smallest touches. Internal oak cutlery trays, hand-crafted drawer dividers, soft-close mechanisms and brushed-brass hinges – these details enhance how your kitchen feels, not just how it functions.
We encourage every client to think about how they live, so their storage reflects their rhythms – not someone else’s idea of ‘standard’.
