In small kitchens, the key is to choose cabinets that maximise storage without overwhelming the space. Full-height cabinets that extend from floor to ceiling can make the most of vertical space, providing ample storage for items that are used less frequently at the top. Cabinets with pull-out drawers or shelves are great for maximising accessibility and making every inch of space functional. Shallow cabinets or open shelving can help the kitchen feel more open and airy while still providing storage for smaller items or decorative pieces. If possible, opt for cabinets with sliding doors or glass fronts to create the illusion of more space and light.

The way you clean and maintain your kitchen cabinets depends on the material. For wood cabinets, use a soft cloth and a mild, oil-based soap or a specific wood cleaner to wipe away dust and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, as these can damage the finish. For painted or laminate cabinets, a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap is usually sufficient. Wipe the cabinets with a damp cloth, then dry them with a clean towel to prevent moisture from seeping into the material. For glass-front cabinets, use a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to keep them smudge-free. Regularly clean cabinet hardware to prevent the buildup of dirt and grease. To maintain the cabinets' finish, consider applying a polish or protective wax every few months.

An organised kitchen relies on a well-planned cabinet layout. Start by placing your most frequently used items in easily accessible areas, such as near the stove or countertop. Drawers for utensils, pots, and pans should be placed near the cooking area, while dish storage can be near the sink or dishwasher for easy unloading. Vertical storage solutions, like pull-out pantries or tall cabinets, are ideal for keeping dry goods and spices organised. Installing pull-out trash and recycling bins inside a cabinet near the sink can keep the kitchen tidy. Upper cabinets or open shelves can be used for storing glasses, mugs, and serving dishes, while lower cabinets can house heavier items like appliances, cookware, and baking supplies.
