In a small kitchen, every inch of space matters. So finding kitchenware that saves on space, rather than taking up too much of it, is the secret to ensuring that your kitchen storage ideas are as efficient as possible.
Larger items such as pots, pans and baking trays can be the trickiest items to find storage for, particularly in a small kitchen where cupboards and drawers come at a premium. Instead of storing pans on your hob, or creating toppling towers of bowls within a cupboard, I've hunted out the very best pieces of nesting kitchenware on the high street.
There are few things as satisfying as plastic food containers that nest perfectly within one another (especially if the lids are kept together too), and opening your drawers to such a sight is guaranteed to make any day a bit brighter. Nesting or stackable kitchenware means you get to spend less time tidying and organising and more time enjoying your kitchen like it was intended.
From the Joseph Joseph folding-handle pans that have revolutionised my kitchen drawer storage to nesting stainless steel bowls that simplify food preparation. I've tried a number of these products in my own tiny kitchen, so I can vouch for the quality.
I've included everything from crockery and utensils to measuring jugs and cast-iron cookware, so you can slowly nest everything in your kitchen.
If storage and organisation is an issue in your kitchen, starting with a big declutter will be the first step to making your cupboards and drawers more streamlined - this checklist of items your small kitchen doesn't need will be the first step.
