kitchen Essential: The Breakfast Cupboard

Central to every kitchen remodel or new build is the aim of making a space that works for you. It’s all about creating a kitchen that will work itself into our busy lives in a way that is complimentary and convenient. We have found that innovative storage solutions are one of the most effective ways of achieving this goal and the breakfast cupboard is one such way that remains stylish and timeless. But what exactly is a breakfast cupboard? Let us explain:

Breakfast cupboards can be dressers or worktop cabinets with storage not just for crockery but small kitchen appliances too. They free up precious counterspace by providing easy storage for your kettle, toaster and coffee machines. They are an ideal way of organising a chaotic morning.

“Our client wanted to modernise their galley kitchen and bring in some contemporary appliances. A small space maybe but with the right cabinet layout it’s more than adequate” @bakerinteriors

Folding doors mean that they can be kept open when in use for easy access and then closed away at other times of day to maintain a tidy workspace. They often have their own counterspace, making lightwork of the morning demands such as sandwich making before work!

The added benefit of a breakfast cupboard is that it keeps everything contained to one space and makes navigating the kitchen a whole lot easier for families craving more independence. You can relinquish the responsibilities and morning rituals in the knowledge that your children will be able to find everything on their own. It also means that any overnight guests can make themselves at home and help themselves.

We’ve included some of our favourite examples to help inspire you. These examples show breakfast cupboards as worktop cupboards that sit on top of the countertop but these can also be stand-alone units with compact counterspace built-in.
