Lucky Dates to Renovate/Redecorate your Home

Number One: Appliances

Whether you get by with just a toaster and a kettle, or you collect them like they’re going out of fashion… there’s no escaping the fact that every modern kitchen will have at least a few.

The problem is that they take up tons of working bench space… and unless you’ve bought the expensive designer kind they’re likely to make your kitchen feel more like a stand at a swap meet, rather than a free-flowing workspace.

An elegant solution for making your appliances easily accessible but also easy to conceal is to move them into a cupboard and convert the standard swing doors into retractable pocket doors.

This way you’ll have unrestricted access to them when you’re using them, but when guests come over, hiding them will be as simple as closing a door.

Obviously, for this solution, you’ll need to have a PowerPoint installed by an electrician, but it’s a small price to pay for the aesthetic and function that it will give your kitchen.

Number Two: The Pantry

For most people, the pantry is the most frequently used cupboard in the kitchen. Unfortunately, though it can also be one of the most frustrating, with its deep shelves often forcing you to juggle multiple items from the front in order to access items at the back.

A great way to make every inch of your pantry easily accessible without sacrificing any usable space is to turn your shelves into drawers. This way you can simply pull them out one at a time bringing every single item within an easy reach.

Number Three: The Dreaded Corner Cupboard

Quite possibly the most annoying space in your kitchen… the corner cupboard beneath your bench is home to vast amounts of painfully awkward space.

This is because the front access point is disproportionately more compared to their overall storage area. What you need is a simple way to get items from the back to the front, without having to get down on your knees and reach aimlessly into the abyss.

A great way to do this is to add a lazy susan to each shelf allowing you to rotate items to the front like a carousel. And you can pick these up for a few dollars at your local hardware store.

Number Four: Pot Storage

Pots and pans are one of those things that you use just about every day… and if you’re like most people you probably have them sitting inside a cupboard stacked on top of each other like a half-finished game of Jenga. And each time you reach for one, you risk the whole stack falling down in a symphony of clanging and banging.

A simple solution is to install a retractable hanging rack allowing you to pull them out like a draw and pick the one you want with ease.

Number Five: Under the Kitchen Sink

Under the sink is a notoriously awkward space mainly because of the plumbing required for draining water.

However just because this space harbors an obstacle doesn’t mean it should be condemned. By installing custom drawers that navigate the pipes similar to those in the pantry, you can bring typically difficult to access bottles brushes and sponges within an arm’s reach.

Another neat hack is to add a small fold down flaps to the very top of this space for even more convenient access to your sponges and brushes (which get used multiple times per day).
