Hiding Small Appliances

By Kate Riley April 17, 2017

The kitchen cabinets for the flip house in Vegas will arrive in a few weeks. In addition to the main cabinetry that surrounds the big appliances (range, refrigerator, etc.) I added a series of tall cabinets on an unused wall and included two pantries, one for food and the other to house bulk items and small appliances.

In my kitchen in California, I store small appliances in a cabinet hidden under the peninsula. It’s there that my blender, mixer, ice cream maker, and food processor live. Seeing a toaster or coffee maker or tea kettle if plain sight doesn’t bother me, in fact they can make a kitchen look more lived in. And if you use them every day, why put them away? I don’t have a colorful mixer but I also like those out on display, they are always cheerful to look at.

I found several attractive solutions for storing small appliances, including clever hutches and cabinets, appliances garages, and some well designed pantries too.

I’m always curious how people organize their kitchens. Where in your kitchen do you store your small appliances?

  1. My island has cupboards under it. I keep all the small frequently used appliances there. Then the larger less frequently used appliances are kept in a back kitchen /storeroom accessed from the garage.There are outlets and a counter out there so we don’t have to move them.

  2. Why on earth would you store very heavy small appliances or a cast iron Dutch oven on a shelf over your head, as depicted in some of these photos! Storing a Kitchenaide mixer or the turquoise cast iron pot, which are both extremely heavy, could be deadly. Where is common sense?!

  3. Here a great new kitchen trend where you have a designated stylish cabinet where small appliances can sit comfortably within reach. It makes the countertop so uncluttered! I want to organise my kitchen differently now.
