Small Kitchens, Big Challenges

Life in a small apartment has plenty of perks — but kitchen space isn’t one of them. Cupboards are narrow, pantries are shallow, and benches fill up fast. Even when you’re organised, it can feel like there’s never enough room.

The problem isn’t that you own too much. It’s that the space you do have isn’t being used to its full potential. That’s where pull out pantry storage makes all the difference.

Why Apartment Kitchens Struggle

In compact kitchens, you’ll usually find:

  • Narrow cabinets that feel impossible to use.
  • Tall pantries where food disappears into the back.
  • Awkward corners that require a stretch just to grab a pot.
  • Overloaded shelves that create clutter instead of order.

The result? A kitchen that feels cramped and frustrating instead of functional.

How Pull Out Pantry Storage Fixes It

Pull out pantry storage transforms dead space into working space. By swapping fixed shelves for sliding baskets, racks, and drawers, you make every centimetre count.

For small apartments, the benefits are huge:

  • Maximise space – even tiny gaps become usable storage.
  • Stay organised – see everything at a glance.
  • Save time and reduce waste – no more duplicate spices or expired food hiding at the back.
  • Make cooking easier – access what you need without bending, reaching, or emptying half the cupboard.

The Best Pull Out Pantry Solutions for Small Apartments

Narrow Cabinet Pull Outs

Those 150mm gaps beside fridges or ovens? Perfect for a slim pull out rack. Oils, sauces, and spices line up neatly, ready when you are.

Multi-Drawer Pantry Systems

If your “pantry” is just one tall cupboard, it can quickly become chaos. A 5, 6, or 7-drawer pull out system gives every shelf its own glide, so you never lose track of what’s inside.

Customisable Pull Out Baskets

Overstuffed shelves don’t just waste space — they waste food. With custom baskets (100–900mm widths, 100/150mm heights), you can retrofit cupboards into smooth-slide storage that lasts for years.

Corner Cabinet Pull Outs

Even small apartments have awkward corners. A corner pull out system makes pots, pans, or appliances glide forward in one motion, turning forgotten space into functional storage.

Tips to Maximise a Small Kitchen

  • Go vertical – tall storage works if every level slides out.
  • Keep items visible – wire baskets stop food from hiding.
  • Measure before you choose – our measurement guide makes it simple.
  • Prioritise function over form – everyday items should be easiest to grab.

Make a Small Kitchen Feel Big

Your apartment might be compact, but your kitchen doesn’t have to feel that way. With the right pull out pantry storage, you can turn a cramped space into a smart, organised one that works every day.
