Add some cabinets and cupboards for the full range of ingredients, sauces and cereals that your family loves. If you’re an entertainer at heart, then barware, including a bar or wine rack, is a must as well. If fancy dinners are your thing, stock up on cookware: a good saucepan set, fry pans, maybe even some slow cookers. Passionate bakers will need more bakeware, like tins, pans and ceramic dishes. A little bit of organisation, along with some quality purchases, is all it takes to set up a kitchen fit for daily cooking and frequent entertaining.

Here are some helpful ways to get the most out of your kitchen space.

Organise your cookware and bakeware.

Built-in dividers are just the thing for organised cabinets and drawers. Don’t have these? Simply store baking sheets with rods to separate them. Buy cabinet dividers or plastic storage containers for smaller cookware like measuring cups. Use pullout cabinet organisers or hanging pot-racks for pots and pans. If this still doesn’t solve your problem, group items like cups, dishes, bowls and food storage containers together.

Choose high quality kitchen appliances.

Everyone loves a good deal, but some kitchen appliances are worth the splurge. They don’t need to be top of the line, but a good-quality refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and cooktop/range will last you for years to come, so you won’t have to worry about constantly replacing them. Large kitchen appliances are definitely about quality. Smaller things, such as microwaves and coffee machines, don’t have such big price tags, so swapping them is less of a headache.

Create a make-shift eating space in your kitchen.

Entertaining friends and family in a kitchen that’s designed for it is a pleasure worth prioritising for. Share a cup of coffee and the day’s stories on kitchen islands with extended breakfast bars, or bring home a small kitchen table and some comfortable chairs. These additions serve as extra benchtop spaces, and when it’s time to eat, you’ve got a casual dining space. If your space is too small for an island or breakfast bar, a small bistro table can have the same effect.

Keep your benchtops free of clutter.

Fight the urge to display all of your purchases; save some benchtop space for cooking. You can keep small everyday kitchen appliances like a toaster, or kettle, out for convenience, but if space is tight, it might be time to stow cutting boards and mixers (yes, even those fabulous KitchenAid mixers). Instead, think about alternative storage. When it comes to your spice rack, opt for cabinet and drawer organisers or a wall rack. And though they might be pretty, dishes and knives are best stored.

Add splashes of colour to your kitchen.

Go beyond the dull and standard by using different kitchen materials in interesting colours. Skip the traditional beige for a vibrant green or blue benchtop. Play with some bamboo benchtops to introduce some character-filled natural wood grain to your kitchen's decor. Have some fun with splashback too - pick decorative tiles to accentuate lines and colours. Fabric and kitchen linens such as bright dish towels and oven mitts can also help bring a more entertaining vibe to your space.
