Clear Up Clutter with Smart Space Saving Kitchen Sinks and Storage Units
The kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where you prepare food for your family, entertain guests, and share meals with loved ones. Since it is the place where we spend a lot of time cooking, cleaning and eating, it is also the area of the home that often has the most clutter. If you are looking for ways to make the cooking area more usable and reduce clutter, then this article shows you some great ideas for maximising the available room area and making it more functional with smart space-saving kitchen sinks and storage units, along with a few other useful ways to get the most value from one of the busiest rooms in your home.
Keep it neat with all-in-one modular kitchen sinks and storage units
The first thing to consider is the choice of storage units. You want to utilise every possible way for storing plates, cutlery, pots and pans, appliances, and groceries. If room area is limited, you need to create ways to store items that don’t need to be on display all the time. For this, we recommend one or more of the cabinets in our range. With these, you can store groceries in the upright cupboard, items such as spice bottles or glasses on the open shelving, and dinnerware in the cupboards beneath.
At the same time, you’ll have countertop areas for appliances, such as a kettle or toaster and to prepare food on. With the units being modular, you can mix, and match as needed.
3 Ways to maximise your kitchen space
For a small area, you may not have the luxury of adding extra drawers, an island and other means to get more work and storage facilities. As such, you need to be a bit more creative, by:
- Using a wall as a shelf for cooking tools
- Building a cabinet around the stove-top
- Installing shelves under the sink
However, for truly smart ways to save floor and wall space, opt for the combination space saving kitchen sinks and storage units. We offer sinks and storage unit combinations. Let’s introduce you to the concept below.

It comes with an electric two-plate plug-in stove, 23L 800-Watt microwave and 120L Defy fridge. In addition, the unit features a cupboard underneath the sink with two sets of shelving, giving you ample storage area.

Combination storage units with space-saving kitchen sinks
Talk about smart space saving kitchen sinks and storage units, and our modular cabinet units come to mind. For instance, start with the drop-in sink with a swivel head tap that has a double door cabinet beneath and a stainless-steel drainboard.
Add a two-door, two-drawer unit next to it and you have more work area together with a cabinet for storing kitchenware. Make the most of the available area by adding the counter-top open shelving for items you want to showcase or don’t mind being on display. You still have the counter-top area for placement of an appliance and to work on, but you can also make maximum use of the vertical area above it. Store cutlery and the like in the drawers.
Complete the picture with the tall grocery cabinet and you have a stylish, yet affordable and space-saving kitchen.
Final thoughts on how to make the best use of a small cooking area
Use the vertical space wisely for shelving and hanging pots or pans. Also, utilise the wall as an added place for shelving or hooks. Minimise floor usage with a selection of modular storage units, along with one of our smart space saving kitchen sinks.
