8 Modular Kitchen Accessories That You Must Have

Ever find yourself wishing your kitchen was as efficient and charming as your favourite cooking shows? Well, buckle up because we’ve got just the guide to sprinkle a bit of modular kitchen magic into your life. Here’s a rundown of some efficient modular kitchen accessories that promise to transform your cooking space into a hub of efficiency and finesse.

Tall Pantry Units 

The modular kitchen pantry unit is a multitasking wonder that maximises space from floor to ceiling, safeguarding supplies and adding longevity to groceries. This piece is a wonderful addition as it cashes in on every inch of the wall frame, from floor to ceiling.

And if you’re feeling creative, explore the uniqueness of pull-out pantries for an extra touch. They’re ordinary shelves with a siding mechanism, enabling you to pull them forward. This not only creates more space to be utilised, but also gives you ease of access to reach things right at the back. But, they might not accommodate large kitchen items.

Wicker Baskets

Woven from bamboo, willow, or rattan, these baskets add a rustic flair to your kitchen. Beyond its warm and cosy look, these modular kitchen fittings offer multidimensional storage – for your fruits, vegetables, canned goods, and even cookbooks.

You just need to find the perfect spot to keep them, either in the pantry, under the counter, or a shelf-top. Here’s a modular kitchen design tip – go a step further to customise them with a pull-out mechanism in a base counter. This gives you easy access to its contents.

Modular Drawers

Don’t underestimate the power of drawers! From traditional box systems to modern tandem alternatives, these modular wonders provide the perfect space for utensils, bowls, glasses, and more. Tailor your drawers for a soft closing and create bisections to prevent slamming and overcrowding. If you have a small kitchen, a U-shaped, or a G-shaped kitchen, opt for angled corner drawers to make the most of corner space.

Tandembox drawers, featuring specialised sliding mechanisms, are a well-known kitchen drawer system renowned for their smooth and efficient operation. These drawers are designed with advanced hardware that allows them to slide in and out with ease, accommodating various forms, sizes, and materials. Modular kitchen accessories like these drawers not only enhance functionality but also contribute a stylish and sophisticated touch to your kitchen.

Modular Kitchen Baskets

Tiered modular kitchen accessories like baskets are a must-have. These essential racks and shelves come in choices like wired steel baskets, Tandembox drawers, and more. Steel baskets offer fantastic ventilation and are perfect for dishes and cutting boards, while tandem baskets specialise in personalization.

Want some more movement? Get baskets with a pull-out mechanism; it smartly makes more space by being able to swivel around, something your ordinary drawers can’t do! You can also change the way you store things by changing the size of the baskets you use; one big cabinet can contain many slim baskets, or one big basket.

Cutlery Segment

If we’re talking about modular kitchen accessories, we have to talk about cutlery – a non-negotiable in every kitchen! And for these indispensable segments, it’s high time we move beyond conventional holders and embrace a tailored drawer approach. This allows you to impeccably organise an array of essentials – spoons, forks, knives, and more – with meticulous precision.

Unleash your inner organiser, and make sure every last piece of cutlery has its own slot. Cutlery segments are usually part of a tandem drawer right below the counter for easy access.

Racks

Modular kitchen racks and shelves can be picked and put together, with certain shelves being product-specific. Whether it’s a wall-mounted lineup or a drawer, customising racks with item-specific shelves enhances efficiency.

Take, for instance, bottle pull-outs. Resembling a pull-out pantry, this narrow cabinet is designed to hold your bottles, mugs, or other slim items. Similarly, a spice rack is a frequent feature among kitchen accessories for modular kitchen designs. After all, we all want to avoid frantic searches for spices while there’s gravy simmering! A few other options are plate racks, and wine bottle racks (handy for your home bar set).

Lazy Susan Shelves: Spin your storage game with Lazy Susan shelves. These rotating shelves make good use of corner spaces, allowing you to access items effortlessly. A simple twirl and everything comes into reach, making organisation a breeze.

Cargoman Units: Add a touch of flair with Cargoman swing-out corner cabinets. These innovative solutions pivot outward, offering an accessible way to store kitchen essentials.

The Garbage Corner

When arranging your kitchen space, having a dedicated bin cabinet is crucial for maintaining a friendly and odour-free environment. For a budget-friendly option, consider placing your garbage bin behind a cabinet door. However, a more ingenious idea is to install a slide-out bin that effortlessly makes its way out for you. This can be particularly beneficial for households with senior citizens or people who may face challenges in bending or moving swiftly.

More frequently than not, you can spot a garbage bin under a sink. But if you’ve found another setting for your bin, transform your under-sink area with a detergent/cleaning shelf. Use adjustable shelves, steel baskets with compartments, and other organising options to declutter your supplies and make them accessible.
