Kitchen Storage

How to conquer your kitchen clutter: our recipes for success

We’d probably all like a bigger kitchen. So whatever size space you have, it makes sense to make the most of it.

Kitchens are one of the most used and busiest rooms in your home. They have your cooker, fridge and freezer, plus store all your food, cutlery, crockery, serving dishes – and all your pots, pans, gadgets and kitchen equipment. It’s where you make your tea and coffee, and often where you eat as well. You may have your washing machine and tumble dryer and even your dishwasher all crammed in.

You need to be really organised, maximising every inch of space that you’ve got, so you don’t ‘lose’ things at the back of the cupboard. At A Place For Everything, we give you a place for everything in every cupboard and cabinet, every counter and work surface, in every nook and cranny.

We also make the best use of your vertical storage space over every door – from your kitchen door to your cabinet door and even on the outside of your fridge or freezer door. So everything can be neat, tidy and easy to find.

Over-door storage

Store more either inside or outside your kitchen cupboard doors for food, cleaning products, carrier bags and more.

We’ve a full range of stacking and storing solutions from Storage Baskets to . Plus we've kitchen storage for Plate Racks, to storage for cling film, baking paper or tin foil; racks for pots and pans and lids in cupboards. We've even Under-Sink Storage, Fridge Storage; Cutlery Organisers.

Many kitchen items are awkwardly shaped: bottles, condiments, spice bottles etc. – so it’s hard to stack anything on top and all that ‘above space’ is wasted. We’ve clever stacking solutions for inside your cupboard with Mesh Stacking Shelves to secure pots, plates, bowls, cups and ramekin dishes, jars, small bottles, water bottles, glasses and more etc. We even have Under Shelf Baskets that hang down from the middle shelf in cupboards so you maximise every inch of vertical space.

Counters and worktops also need just as much order and organising. So we have Stands, Bins and Baskets for cutlery, crockery, food, fruit, eggs, tea, olive oils, vinegars, kitchen utensils, cookbooks, and kitchen roll.

Plus, we even have plate racks that are brilliantly designed to fit round plates into square corners. Storage doesn’t need to be on the shelf either: we’ve solutions that hang down, so you use the space you’ve got more effectively both top and bottom.

Drawers: If you’ve got one of those ‘shove everything in’ drawers that swallow everything and then hides it, then we’ve great news. Our Drawer Organisers have lots of dividers, so everything has its own special place and nothing gets lost. And see our Cutlery Trays and E-x-p-a-n-d-a-b-l-e Cutlery Trays too, so you can grab the items you want and put them back neatly afterwards.

Don’t forget under your kitchen sink. Yes, it’s an awkward shape with the U-bend in the way, but our clever Under Sink Organisers and Baskets show you how to make the most of your space.

Plus as our kitchen storage solutions are crystal clear see-though, you’ll have no problem finding what you want fast.

Round storage is so space-greedy, so we even have square storage that maximises every inch in cupboards, fridges and freezers – so everything is easy to find and nothing gets lost.

Many of our canisters are airtight to lock in the freshness of your food and ensure that there’s no cross-over of flavour as all the aromas are kept inside. So they’re ideal for meat, cheese, vegetables, fruit, butter, dairy products, marinades and sauces. And don’t forget them for spaghetti and other pasta, lentils and pulses, flour and cake decorations, sweets, packets, pots, sachets, cereal, biscuits, cookies cakes.

These two are a perfect pair: our Cheese Storage Box with built-in chopping board, plus our airtight Ryvita® and Crispbread Storage Box to keep crisp breads, plus crackers really fresh.

Some are even foldable to save you even more space: ideal for smaller kitchens and caravans. .

“I like to cook with wine: sometimes I even add it to the food.”

The world would be a poorer place without wine, so make sure that you have plenty of places to store yours. We have Wine Racks in all shapes and sizes from hexagons to honeycombs, with 1, 6, 8, 10, 12, 30, or 90 bottles: that’s enough for several cases of wine.

We love the magnetic holder that sticks to your fridge or freezer and holds lightweight items like rolls of foil or cling film: how clever.

Bread shouldn’t be kept in a fridge: it dries it out, impairs the flavour and texture so it quickly goes stale. It’s best to keep your bread in a bread bin.

Take a look at our space-saving Expandable Bread Bin that keeps your bread fresher for longer. It expands to the size of your loaf, has an integral cutting board with handy notch markings on it so you always cut even slices. Plus as you take out slices, you can contract the bread bin so there is minimal air surrounding it.

From traditional enamel and steel bins in charcoal or white, we also have modern, funky designer-led bread bins in funky red or lime.
