Small kitchens need to work harder in every capacity, but even more so when it comes to storage. Sometimes, the most impactful solutions are the most unexpected – and right now, the humble kitchen rack is proving more useful than ever.
Racks are an underrated kitchen storage idea, but they're one of those small features that can reintroduce so much space, and often create space you didn't realize was available to you.
It's about freeing up surface space without filling your small kitchen full of bulky furniture. And while kitchen racks may conjure images of those stainless steel structures typical of commercial spaces, there are plenty of designs that feel more at home in your personal space.
And how you style them is key. Functional kitchen racks are instantly softened by storage baskets and pretty storage jars, and even a rack skirt to hide the less aesthetic pieces in your kitchen.
If that sounds like a solution your scheme is crying out for, look no further. These are the clever small kitchen storage racks that will actually make a difference.
















Most people can create space within the existing footprint of their kitchen – it's simply a case of introducing clever storage solutions that make every inch go further. For more inspiration, our guide to small kitchen storage ideas has plenty of designer advice.
