Kitchen Storage Solutions – 13 Clever Kitchen Design Ideas

With a busy life and a busy family, my kitchen can be a mess. I try to keep it clean but it’s a never-ending task, frankly, I don’t like to do it! Who does?

I remember when I was a young girl and my brothers had to do all the washing up and they complained that I never had to do anything. As the youngest, I thought this was good and never really understood when my mother would say to them – “don’t worry, Liane will get her turn”. Well, I’ve got my turn and it doesn’t end!

Having the kitchen clean for me is a big part of having my life in order. Clean house, clean mind.

My best solution for having a clean kitchen is a great kitchen design with fantastic and functional storage solutions.
