Maximising storage space is often a challenge in the kitchen and there can be few that are more elegant or appealing than installing a beautiful ceiling or wall rack to hang your pots and pans from.

Hahn is one of the best brands in the World for this product type (which is why they have been featured on Masterchef) and have long established their wooden and chrome racks in top quality stores across the globe. Now they have introduced some new designs to build on their success, including the contemporary and stylish Black Steel range, just added to My Kitchen Store.

Solid and sleek with elegant polished chrome and aluminium fittings and hooks, the range includes a square ceiling hanging rack, suspended on link chains and 3 variations in wall racks, one semi circular and two rectangular options. Prices start from just £90 – a great value way to add a touch of class to your kitchen.

One of our top selling product ranges on My Kitchen Store is glass splashbacks and many customers are surprised to find how easy they are to fit.

There are two main methods – and by far the most common and easiest, involves simply using an adhesive to glue it to the wall and then sealing it all the way round with a sanitary silicone sealant. And it’s as simple as it sounds. With some off-the- shelf panels, the adhesive is already there and it involves just taking off the peel off layer. For bespoke panels made to order, the adhesive you use is an extremely strong product called mirror glue. As with all glass products, you do need to handle with great care – these are the steps to take:

1. Mark the location of the panel on the wall – be sure you have a gap of 2mm all the way round (including 2mm above the work surface) to fill with the sealant

2. Make sure the wall surface is relatively flat, clean and free from dust

3. Use spacers where necessary to make sure the 2mm gap is maintained, for example, placing them on the worktop to keep the gap between the splashback and the work surface.

4. Stripe the mirror glue across the back of the glass panel, in bands a few centimetres apart (or remove the paper layer on the peel off options)

5. Present the splashback to the wall and push it firmly in place (NOTE the adhesive is VERY STRONG, make sure the positioning is correct)

6. Leave the glue to cure for 30 minutes.

7. Squeeze a bead of the silicone sealant all the way round the edge of the glass panel.

That’s it! And to make it even easier, we have a product called Fixall that performs both tasks – and it is transparent. Giving you a clean clear finish.

The second method fitting is a little more complex and will cost more. Very few customers opt for this and it is only possible with our bespoke manufactured panels. It involves fitting using screws and screw caps. To do this, you panel of glass must be formed with apertures a minimum of 7mm in diameter in each of the four corners (the actual aperture diameter you specify will be dictated by the type of fittings that you decide are appropriate for the wall type you are fitting to).

You will then need to take the following steps

1. Select an appropriate screw type and fittings for the wall you are fitting to. The length and diameter of the screw will be dependent on the material (for example, brick, plaster, stud wall etc)

2. Ensure the wall surface is relatively flat, clean and free of dust or dirt

3. Drill appropriate diameter holes in the correct position in the wall

4. Fit raw plugs or alternative housings as necessary

5. Present the panel to the wall and secure through the predrilled apertures using the screws you have selected

6. Use screw caps to cover the crew heads on the front of the panel once it is in place

7. Seal the panel all the way round using sanitary silicone sealant

When it comes to cutlery trays, this is probably one the most elegant and fitting solutions you will find.

Made in quality wood and available in either Light Beech or Oak, it comes as two layers, the top one of which has a series of compartments and the bottom one forms a tray underneath that can be drawn out sideways to make sure it fits perfectly within your kitchen drawers.

There are two versions available, the first being 300-530mm wide to fit in standard drawer external sizes 400mm to 600mm and the second being 580-930mm to suit external drawer sizes 800mm to 1000mm. Both are 470mm deep from front to back and designed to go into drawers 500mm deep.

Top quality and beautifully made from a little of £50, these are an ideal way to make the most of your drawer space

When you are short of storage space, one way to make the most of what is available is to opt for wall mounted items – and one of the handy products we have for this is our pull down wall mounted ironing board. Ideal for the utility room or kitchen, the board is easily fitted and you can have an optional cover for it to keep it neatly tucked away.

The board is fitted to the wall on a mounted bracket and is on a 180 degree turning mechanism that can be locked in left, right or inclined position. The board is 300mm wide and extends to 985mm from the all.

Neat, tidy – and a great help in ironing out your problems with space!

1500mm x 280mm

1500mm x 420mm

800mm x 420mm

… the most popular of which is the 1500mm x 280mm, ideal as a full length mirror and also fits neatly into a narrow space.

It’s funny how we sometimes pigeon hole a product for a particular use – and  completely miss that it is equally suitable for a completely different purpose! That was highlighted for me very well this week when a customer phoned up to purchase a kitchen waste bin - to use for storing food!

In fact, when you look at these multi compartment drawer or cupboard based waste bins, you can see how ideally they are suited to use as food storage containers. The customer in question wanted to use them to store flour and rice, but you could equally use them for vegetables, pulses, bread – all sorts of items that you don’t want to clutter up your work surfaces.

We have a wide range of options with different bin sizes and configurations to fit standard kitchen cabinet widths from 300mm to 600mm – so if you’re looking for food storage solutions, take a fresh look at our kitchen waste bins and see them through new eyes!
