Welcome to our kitchen storage world! After 15 years of making kitchens work harder for families across Nottingham, we've seen it all - from Victorian terraces with quirky corners to modern flats with barely enough room to swing a wooden spoon.
I'm Michael, and along with my wife Emma, we've been fixing Nottingham's storage nightmares since 2010. We started Nottingham Kitchen Fitter after seeing too many families struggling with kitchens that just didn't work for real life.
"We couldn't believe the difference proper storage made to our daily cooking. Michael and his team turned our chaotic Victorian kitchen into something from a magazine, but that actually works for real cooking!" - Barbara J., Mansfield
How We Solve Your Kitchen Storage Problems
Most kitchen companies just stick in standard cabinets and call it a day. But we know that doesn't cut it in Nottingham's diverse homes. In West Bridgford, we often see large family homes with kitchens that look nice but have wasted spaces. Over in Beeston, those lovely Victorian terraces have awkward corners that standard units just don't fit.
Our approach is simple:
- We come to your home and see how you actually use your kitchen
- We watch where you struggle to reach things
- We listen to your frustrations
- Then we design storage that fixes these exact problems
Just last month, we worked with a family in Arnold who couldn't reach half their cabinets without a stepladder. We lowered wall units and added pull-down systems so everything was in reach. Their 10-year-old can now help with dinner prep!
Kitchen Cabinet Maker & Joiner Nottingham
Unlike big kitchen companies, we make most of our storage solutions right here in our Nottingham workshop. Being a proper Kitchen Cabinet Maker & Joiner Nottingham business means we can design storage that perfectly fits YOUR space, not just what comes in a catalog.
Our local workshop is where our team of joiners (led by Tom who's been with us for 12 years) handcraft each storage solution. We use mainly solid woods from sustainable sources - oak is popular with our Nottingham customers, but we also work with walnut, maple and birch ply for modern kitchens.
We've invested in the right machinery to make precise dovetail joints that last decades, not years. When you open one of our drawers 20 years from now, it'll still glide smoothly.
"The craftsmanship in our kitchen is amazing. The dovetail joints on the drawers are beautiful - my husband keeps opening them just to look! But more importantly, everything has a perfect place now." - James and Lucy, West Bridgford
Custom Drawer Systems
Drawers are the workhorses of any good kitchen. But not all drawers are created equal. Our custom drawer systems can be configured to handle anything you need:
Kitchen Storage Ideas That Transform Everyday Cooking
- Utensil organisers - No more jumbled drawer of doom! We create divided sections that keep everything visible
- Custom knife storage - Built-in knife blocks that protect blades and fingers
- Spice storage solutions - Angled drawer inserts that let you see every label at once
- Deep drawer solutions - Heavy-duty drawers for pots and pans with dividers to prevent scratching
- Specialised compartments - Custom slots for your specific gadgets and tools
For a customer in Ruddington, we created a specialized baking drawer with dividers for cookie cutters, rolling pins, and even a maple block section for her favorite ceramic mixing bowls.
Even better? We can retrofit many of these systems into your existing cabinets if you're not ready for a full kitchen remodel.
Pantry and Larder Units
Nothing beats a well-designed pantry for easy cooking and shopping. Our pantry solutions can be built-in or freestanding:
- Pull-out pantry systems - Full-height units that glide out for access to both sides
- Custom shelving configurations - Adjustable heights for everything from cereal boxes to bulk flour bins
- Door rack storage - Extra space for spices, oils, and small items
- Specialized compartments - Vegetable drawers, bread bins, and wine storage
For smaller Nottingham homes (like those Victorian terraces in The Park), we've developed slim pull-out pantries that fit in just 20cm of width but provide massive storage.
One of our favorite projects was for an elderly couple in Long Eaton who couldn't bend easily. We created a motorised pull-down pantry system that brings upper shelves down to counter height with the push of a button.
Corner Cabinet Solutions
Kitchen corners are where good storage goes to die... unless you have the right solution! We've mastered the art of making corners functional:
What's the best storage solution for kitchen corner cabinets?
For L-shaped kitchens (common in West Bridgford semis), our carousel systems rotate fully to bring everything to the front. But for Beeston's older homes with deeper corners, our advanced pull-out mechanisms work better.
Our blind corner solutions use clever sliding systems that let you access the entire space. No more lost tupperware or ancient spice jars hiding in the back!
After installing these systems, customers often tell us they've "found" dishes they forgot they owned!
Specialty Item Storage
Beyond the basics, we create storage for the special things in your kitchen life:
- Wine and beverage organization - Temperature-controlled drawers and racks
- Appliance garage solutions - Custom cabinets that hide coffee machines, mixers, etc but keep them ready for use
- Baking centre design - Specialised storage for baking sheets, cooling racks and decorating tools
- Cooking tool storage - Custom slots for everything from wooden spoons to spatulas
We've even created hidden storage solutions for families who want to keep counters clear but appliances accessible. Our favorite was a custom "breakfast station" for a family in Mansfield that hid the toaster, kettle and coffee machine behind a tambour door.
Real Kitchen Storage Success Stories
Victorian Terrace in Nottingham's Lace Market
The Challenge: A beautiful but cramped kitchen in a protected Victorian building. Limited space, awkward corners, and the owners cooked from scratch every day.
Our Solution: We maximized every centimeter with custom-height drawers (making them exactly as tall as needed for each item), created a pull-out spice cabinet next to the range, and built a stunning pantry cabinet with antique-inspired bronze mesh that fit the historical character.
Result: 40% more usable storage in exactly the same footprint.
Modern Apartment Near Nottingham City Centre
The Challenge: Tiny kitchen, limited wall space, and the owner entertained frequently.
Our Solution: We removed standard cabinets and designed a system of variable-depth drawers that maximized every inch. We added a custom island with specialized wine storage and a pull-out serving area.
Result: The kitchen now stores full place settings for 12 guests plus all cooking equipment in just 8 square meters!
Family Home in West Bridgford
The Challenge: Lots of space but poorly organized. The busy family of five was constantly losing things and rebuying them because they couldn't find items in their chaotic cabinets.
Our Solution: Complete organization system with labeled drawers, specialty storage for school lunch supplies, and a custom pantry with zones for each family member.
Result: "We haven't bought duplicate grocery items once since the renovation, and the kids can now pack their own lunches!" - The West Family
Common Questions About Kitchen Storage
What are the most innovative kitchen storage solutions for small spaces?
For small Nottingham kitchens, vertical storage is key. We love creating tall pull-out pantries that use wall height, double-tier drawer systems, and under-cabinet pull-downs. One innovation our customers love is our "appliance garage" with sliding doors and built-in outlets.
How much do custom kitchen storage solutions cost in Nottingham?
Custom kitchen storage starts around £800 for basic drawer organization systems and can go up to £5,000+ for complete custom pantries. Most of our clients spend between £1,500-£3,000 on storage solutions as part of a larger kitchen project. We offer finance options through our partner Dopple.
Can specialized kitchen storage be retrofitted to existing cabinets?
Yes! Many of our storage solutions can be added to your existing kitchen. Pull-out systems, drawer organizers, and some corner solutions can be retrofitted, saving you the cost of a full renovation. This is popular with renters in Nottingham who can take the inserts with them when they move.
What's the best storage solution for kitchen corner cabinets?
It depends on your kitchen layout. For most Nottingham homes, we recommend pull-out corner systems over carousel (lazy susan) options because they provide better access and don't waste space. Our LeMans corner system is the most popular - it brings everything out into the room so nothing gets lost.
How do I maximise storage in a small Nottingham kitchen?
The biggest game-changers for small kitchens are:
- Replace shelves with full-extension drawers
- Use the full height of the room (we've created beautiful storage up to ceiling height)
- Add pull-outs to narrow gaps (even 15cm can hold spices or baking sheets)
- Customize drawer heights to your items (no wasted space)
- Consider removing wall cabinets and adding a single tall pantry unit instead
What specialised storage works best for kitchen pantries?
Pull-out shelving is the key to a perfect pantry. We create systems where nothing is more than one item deep, so you can see everything you have. Adjustable shelving, door storage, and dedicated zones for different food types make pantries work hard. For Nottingham's older homes, we often create custom pantry cabinets that look original to the property but function like modern storage.
