How to hide ugly appliances with this clever decorating tip
If like us, you've managed to get your hands on that coveted Ninja air fryer in the Black Friday sales, or perhaps you finally caved and bought the blender you've had your eye on for a while now, firstly, you might be thinking, where the hell am I going to store this? And secondly, why don't they make kitchen appliances look nicer? Or is that just us..
This is where a clever decorating idea called a 'breakfast cupboard' comes in handy, and if space allows for it (lucky you), it's the nicest way to conceal ugly appliances, as well as add extra storage and turn new space into a multi-functional area. There are many brands that offer this nifty solution, and we personally love Pluck's take on it, with an assortment of colours and woods to personalise the space to you.
What is a breakfast cupboard?
A breakfast cupboard is a designated storage solution for small kitchen appliances such as kettles, toasters, microwaves, air fryers and coffee machines. The main benefit is that there's a door to conceal the appliances, making the kitchen look sleek and tidy, and help keep your kitchen counter clutter-free. Some breakfast cupboards are purposely designed so you can use the appliances in situ, with built-in power sockets, but if you're thinking of adding this feature to your home, you should always speak to a professional as you'll need to ensure there's lots of good ventilation, and to always keep the doors open when using the appliances. We've also seen pull out shelves as an extra feature for small appliances to sit on, to allow even more air flow around them.
Take one look on TikTok and Instagram and you'll see these gorgeous cupboards (or larders as some call it) everywhere, filled with an impressive selection of storage jars, mugs, ingredients, and some kitchen appliances that are used in situ. We love how creative you can get with the inside too - plenty of pull out drawers, shelves and a bright lick of paint to contrast the colour of the outside, too.
Whether purely for storing ugly appliances away, or setting them up to be used in the cupboard, we know for sure that this kitchen storage idea is the smartest and sleekest way to make sure your kitchen looks clutter-free and organised.
