When Every Millimetre Matters

Tight kitchens are everywhere — from city apartments to older homes with quirky layouts. And the biggest frustration? Those narrow gaps between cabinets that feel completely useless. They collect dust, or worse, become wasted design space.

But with the right pull out pantry storage, even the slimmest spaces can work hard. Narrow cabinets transform into sleek, functional organisers that make your kitchen feel bigger than it is.

The Challenge of Narrow Spaces

If your kitchen has:

  • A 150mm gap beside the fridge or oven,
  • Slim cupboards you can’t fit much into,
  • Awkward spaces that never seem to get used,

…then you’ve got untapped storage potential just waiting to be unlocked.

Why Pull Out Pantry Storage Works in Tight Kitchens

Pull out systems are designed to slide smoothly out, giving you full use of a space that would otherwise be wasted.

For narrow kitchens, the benefits are clear:

  • Turn gaps into storage – even a 150mm strip can hold dozens of spice jars.
  • Keep things visible – no more bending and guessing what’s hidden at the back.
  • Save benchtop space – bottles and jars live in their own organiser instead of crowding the counter.
  • Integrate seamlessly – slim pull outs match modern cabinetry and keep the kitchen looking clean.

Vertical Pantry Pull Outs

In some kitchens, narrow but tall cabinets exist — ideal for slim vertical pull outs. They maximise height while using minimal width, giving you serious storage in a footprint you thought was wasted.

Custom Baskets for Slim Cupboards

If you’ve got a narrow cupboard that’s hard to access, custom baskets in smaller widths can glide out to make the most of the space.

Real-Life Narrow Kitchen Fixes

  • 150mm beside the oven? Add a spice pull out — no more cluttered racks on the bench.
  • Slim tall cupboard? Fit it with a vertical pull out for bottles and condiments.
  • Narrow lower cabinet? Install custom baskets that slide out instead of stacking items deep.

Even the smallest gaps can hold an entire collection of spices, oils, or snacks.

Tips for Using Narrow Kitchen Space Well

  • Think vertically – tall, slim pull outs can store a lot in a small footprint.
  • Group similar items – keep all spices together, all bottles together.
  • Measure carefully – a 150mm cabinet can make the difference between clutter and clarity.
  • Choose stainless steel – durable, hygienic, and built for daily use.

Make the Most of Tight Kitchens

Narrow gaps don’t need to be wasted. With the right pull out pantry storage, those tricky strips and slim cupboards can become some of the most useful parts of your kitchen.
