Smart storage for a kitchen

When you've got a kitchen that's on the small size, it's always a good idea to look at smart storage solutions for keeping all your stuff organised.

In a small kitchen organisation is the key. You want to keep as much clutter off the countertops yet still within easy reach. You want shelves and cupboards that offer easy access to all the contents. That's why I love shopping at Gelmar. They have a range of kitchen accessories you won't find anywhere else and really do make a difference in a small kitchen.

For example, this folding dish mat (below) easily fits over a sink to provide you with a drying rack for dishes. Perfect in a cramped kitchen and ideal if you're planning a party and will have lots of washing up to do!

Chrome and stainless steel baskets are great space-savers and an easy way for those that don't DIY to add extra storage to a small kitchen. You will find a varied selection of baskets and racks at Gelmar - at very affordable prices.

Priced at R45.99, these powder-coated steel undershelf baskets are perfect for utilising every single bit of storage space you have. Mount them in kitchen cabinets to make full use of the space, or fit them to pantry shelves to double-up on storage.

When you're working with a small kitchen you need to make whatever storage you have work harder. Using undershelf storage baskets doesn't require you to use any tools to install them, simply slot onto an existing shelf. With the addition of a couple of these storage baskets you will be amazed at how much more you can fit onto shelves - and it will be easy to find what you are looking for without having to unpack shelves all the time.

These days there are so many gadgets for a kitchen that finding space for everything can be a mission. Pullout racks and baskets are excellent space savers and can easily be fitted to any kitchen cabinet. Replace a shelf with two or more pullout baskets or racks and you will see how replacing shelves with pullout baskets saves you space and makes it far easier to grab what you need without having to dig to the back of your cupboards.

Pullout baskets make far more sense than fixed shelves, and that's why I'm busy revamping my kitchen to replace shelves with pullout baskets (more on this in the near future, hopefully). Pullout storage baskets are also the perfect solutions for a pantry, large or small.

Pop into your nearest Gelmar store to see the wide range of pullout baskets and complete pullout storage solutions for increasing your kitchen storage and for better organisation. Units range in size from 300mm wide units up to 600mm wide, as well as a complete system for pantry storage.
