9 Modular Kitchen Accessories For A Well Organised Up-To-Date Kitchen

Drawers under the stove top counter are essential to have easy access to whatever you may need while cooking. Think spatulas, tablespoons, measuring cups, sieves, bowls and much more. Have dedicated drawers as per what you'd be storing in them—for small bowls and cutlery, the depth can be kept to a medium size while big pots and pans will need bigger drawers. 

If your drawers don't come preinstalled with them get cutlery organisers to make your life easier. Have dedicated spots for everything, like separate spaces for wood or stainless steel cooking and serving essentials so you know what to reach out for immediately. We recommend having larger sections to begin with, so you can store any new additions easily without cluttering the drawer. 

Tall drawers are perfect for storing everyday groceries and other cooking essentials in bulk, like rice, lentils, flour etc. Store them in labelled containers to further organise them, especially if you're using stainless steel storage. 

Have a built-in space for your trash can in your modular kitchen to avoid letting it take up extra space in your kitchen. Install a rack where your trash can fits easily under the sink, so you can swipe off any trimmings or waste directly into it. You could also have separate bins for wet and dry waste so the wet waste can directly go into the compost. 

Vegetables that need aeration like onions and potatoes can be placed in an airy spot in your kitchen so you can eliminate the need for a separate container for them. What's better is that you can have stainless steel mesh drawers installed directly into the plan so you have your veggies in a space of their own. Stainless steel is easy to clean if there's any debris or residue from the veggies.  

For heavy duty appliances like hand blenders, food processors or grinder accessories, make the best use of your kitchen space by installing corner shelving units. Have circular shelves installed in them with hinges that can completely be opened out. This way, the appliances you use less often don't have to sit on your kitchen countertop everyday. Just clean them, pat them dry and store away after every use. 

If you'd like to store basic condiments, sauces and water bottles that are easy to access for guests and children in the house without them having to rummage through everything in your kitchen, get easy access drawers by your refrigerator. Store empty bottles and glasses for quickly serving beverages. 

A rack dedicated to spices? Of course! Get a sleek multi-tiered spice drawer to store essential spices and aromatics ready to go for all the dishes you'd be whipping up in the kitchen. From jeera to home-made garam masala, store them all in individual containers and label them for easy access. 

Everyday items you reach out to often, like your favourite cereal bowl or coffee mugs can all be stored in storage drawers above the kitchen countertop. You could also store tea, coffee and breakfast essentials in these drawers for easy access and to create a little breakfast cabinet of sorts. You can also opt for a push-to-open mechanism for faster access.
