Kitchen Cabinet Storage Makeover
See how this cabinet storage makeover ticked all the boxes – more storage, easy access and amazing organisation. Our collaboration with Howards Storage and Organiser, Anita Birges, transformed this drab cabinet into a fully functioning pull out pantry!
BEFORE
This Bondi townhouse did not have a full height pantry. The owner stored most pantry items in a very wide and deep cabinet under the bench. The cabinet was approximately 1100mm wide and 650mm deep! Access was definitely a challenge but you might also notice there was lots of wasted space. And the shelf was sagging!
AFTER
Our transformation ticked all boxes! We removed the sagging adjustable shelf and fitted a vertical divider, which is 16mm melamine we bought and had cut at the local hardware. This was secured using “L” brackets (also from the local hardware store).

Here’s what we achieved:
1. Created More Storage
The wasted space between the shelves is now gone! Adding TANSEL stainless steel wire drawers has optimised the space and created much more usable storage. We did this by grouping similar height items together (and storing them together). We used 2 x 150mm high drawers to store tall items and 3 x 100m high drawers for short items.
2. Easy Access & No More Digging!
Making everything accessible allows you to see items you are storing in the back, so you’ll no longer need to dig around and won’t be buying more of what you already have.
3. Better Organisation
When you have easy access and everything is visible, you can better organise your space and keep it that way! Using an assortment of trays and door mount fittings (from Howards Storage) created excellent organisation within the space.
FAST FACTS…
- We added 150mm high basket drawers (for tall items) and 100mm high basket drawers (for shorter items).
- Each drawer holds 40kgs in weight and wire is stainless steel.
- Installation time was 60mins (experienced handy man), otherwise allow about 2 hours.
- Cost per stainless steel wire drawer including slides $131, (100mmH) and $151 (150mmH), excludes installation cost.
