7 Sneaky Storage Ideas From an Australian Kitchen Remodel

We recently revisited an old Remodelista post about a kitchen rehab in Melbourne, Australia, and were drawn to the many smart storage solutions—from the ingenious use of awkward nooks to the hardworking kitchen island—that interior designer Sarah Trotter of Hearth Studio, designed into the space.  Take a look at some clever highlights:

1. Hang utensils in front of a window.

2. Add in open cubbies to store and spotlight.

3. Transform dead space into thoughtful storage.

4. Use sliding doors in extra-narrow spaces.

5. Fit in a toast and tea station for convenience.

6. Make storage a priority in the kitchen island.

7. Don't forget a built-in marble pastry board for easy baking.
