Modular kitchens are a great way to invest in a fully equipped kitchen that brings comfort and luxury to your cooking experience. Many people choose modular kitchen options to create beautiful spaces that bring true comfort and memories to their homes. With the increasing demand for modular kitchen designs, the availability of dedicated appliances along with accessories is becoming the norm, and the options for these are endless. Scrolling through a catalog can be very confusing, but here are my top 10 picks for 10 must-have modular kitchen accessories. No, this isn't about glamor or design, it's about functionality and what his 12 years of experience as an interior designer has taught me. These are the 10 things you need.
1. Tandem box drawer
The perfect modular accessory that every kitchen needs. These drawers fit perfectly into modern design aesthetics and are perfect for storing everything from pulses to spices to crockery. These are essential and are the building blocks of a good modular kitchen design.
2. Magic corner drawer
The magic corner pullout, also known as the double corner pullout, or even the S-shaped corner pullout, is an incredible design. A great way to access corner spaces that are usually difficult to use and hard to reach. These drawers can hold everything you need, including essentials, and can be easily accessed with a simple pull. It's a great way to utilize corner space without feeling like you're not making the most of your kitchen area.
3. Pull-out pantry
This is one of the kitchen accessories that cannot be ignored in the design of the kitchen. These pantry drawers are the perfect way to maximize storage and practicality. A perfect pull-out pantry where you can store everyday items such as beans, rice, and flour in small containers and access them every day. Another great way to use this pull-out pantry is to turn it into an assigned snack shelf to keep all your snacks in one place. From biscuits to breads, jams, chips, homemade snacks and more. No more opening drawers or cupboards to find what you need. Find everything in one place, including late night snacks.
4. Bottle drawer drawer
Another great design that enhances the aesthetics is the equally strong practical design. These bottle drawers are perfect for storing sauces, oil bottles, cooking seasonings, and more. It's a great way to stack bottles without having to put them in drawers or open shelves that don't have enough height. If you're like me and hate leaving things on the kitchen platform, this is a must-have for your modular kitchen.
5. U-shaped drawer under the sink
The perfect way to utilize the space under your sink is by adding U-shaped drawers that are specially designed to make the most of your space. The area under the sink is usually wasted with use, but with the right modular accessories, this problem can also be addressed. If this is not the right accessory for you, you will need the following accessories:
6. Cleaning supplies/detergent drawer
These are also specifically designed for installation in the cabinet under the vanity. These are useful for storing detergents and other household cleaning supplies. You can spread it out in a gutter for easy access and store it all hidden under your kitchen sink away from visitors.
7. Drawer inserts for cutlery etc.
These inserts are designed with final organization of cutlery and other kitchen utensils in mind. Small items often get lost or mixed up, making it difficult to find what you need during busy cooking. Drawer cutlery inserts are perfect for perfectly spacing your cutlery and keeping it looking great.
8. Spice rack
Spice racks come in a variety of options and styles. Many brands offer drawers, while some offer open shelves where you can stack spices. But if you decide to install a dedicated spice rack in any kitchen, it is simply a must and a must-have. No unit kitchen is complete without this.
9. Hydraulic shutter
Upper shutter cupboards are usually very difficult to access and opening the door outwards can be very cumbersome. Hydraulic door options solve so many problems all at once. The door opens by simply moving it upward, making it easy to operate and anyone can use it. These look futuristic, require less free space in front of the cupboard, and make opening and closing the shutters much easier.
10. Roller shutter
Another great way to save space is to build roller shutters around things like cupboards and oven shelves. These work just like store shutters and are great for saving space. A navigation area is no longer required in front of the shelves for shutters, making it easier to maximize the usefulness of cupboards and design compact spaces.
