How to... create clutter free worktops
Busy worktops making your kitchen look untidy? Need more preparation space?
If so, here are a number of innovative options to keep your worktops clutter free and keep your kitchen looking tidy day after day.
1 Roller shutter cupboards A great idea for cooks looking for plenty of preparation space. The ALNO version, inset into the wall, allows you to hide bulky appliances but still ensures your items are close to hand when you need them. You can choose from stylish aluminium or frosted glass shutters to suit the look of your kitchen.
2 Island units These are the perfect choice for a breakfast bar or informal dining area, but will also provide you with a beautiful open space in which to prepare food or just read the papers with a coffee. Large, deep drawers can be positioned within the island, giving an impressive amount of storage space, which leaves the worktop clutter free.
3 Multifunctional units For smaller items such as knife blocks, utensils and spices, multifunctional units enable you to organise everything in one place. ALNO's inventive Safelift systems are incorporated behind wall units. Pull it down to reveal the contents, push up to hide them away after use. Such devices keep things neat, and also keep sharp objects out of sight from tiny hands.
4 Extra large units Extra deep, extra high or extra wide units also create additional space to store everyday items. Consider functional interior fittings to help keep things tidy. If it's tidy, you can fit more in!
5 Screens in doors If you enjoy watching the television or following a recipe direct from the internet, why not incorporate the screen into your kitchen cupboard door! ALNO's futuristic design features a 17-inch flat screen within its glass or mirrored cupboard door. It is so slim it fits neatly inside the door, leaving the whole of the cupboard space untouched.
6 StackUse stackable containers. Make the best use of worktop space that is taken up.
7 Deep drawersChoose extra deep drawers to keep items away from your worktops. ALNO offer drawers in depths of 45, 60 and 75cm, which can provide up to 27% more storage space.
