Choose appliances with tucked-away cord storage to keep your bench looking neat and tidy.

Organising a small kitchen is all about choosing the right appliances and storing them in the right places. Start by thinking about how often your appliances get used. Those daily essentials should live on the bench for ease of access, weekly items go in lower cupboards, and occasional items get tucked into the pantry for special occasions. Once you understand your typical kitchen routine, it’s time to start the organisation. Here are our top tips on how to approach your small kitchen appliance setup:

1. To help with ease of use (and remembering where everything is), group the similar items into zones e.g. a coffee station or a baking corner etc.

2. When arranging appliances, use vertical wall space with shelves and risers to keep your counters clear.

3. Push any power boards to the back of the bench and label your cords so the right appliance plugs in first time.

4. Use a small caddy for cords and accessories to keep your toaster, kettle or coffee machine feeling functional and looking clear.

Space saving ideas for smarter kitchens

Small kitchens should work smarter, not harder. To fit in all your appliances, start by measuring your bench depth before buying, look for stackable designs and pick appliances with built-in cord storage. For those “sometimes use” appliances, use your pantry storage or kitchen drawer organisers to keep them out of sight but easy enough to access when needed. However, keep in mind that many appliances can be sensitive to movement. This means they should be handled and stored with care. Shop our space saving kitchen organisers for more storage ideas at low prices you'll love.

When you’re moving house, decluttering or storing seasonal items, it’s important to pack away your small kitchen appliances properly to keep them safe. Start by wrapping cords neatly with velcro straps or reusable ties to avoid tangles inside the box. Also, try to use original boxes where possible; otherwise wrap each appliance in soft cloth or bubble wrap to protect handles, lids and glass parts. To help you keep track, label every box clearly with the appliance name. Organisation is key here. Stack heavier appliances on the bottom and keep lightweight items on top so nothing gets crushed (like an adult game of Tetris).
