If you’ve ever opened a kitchen cabinet and had a dozen things come tumbling out, you’re not alone. Indian kitchens are full of energy, variety and let’s be honest— a lot of stuff. Between pressure cookers, spice jars, dabba sets and all those “just in case” utensils, storage can get chaotic fast. That’s where modular kitchen accessories come in to save the day.

Best Accessories for Organising and Storing

The right accessories help you stay organized, save space, and make daily cooking a pleasure, whether you're remodeling an existing kitchen or designing a new one. Here's a guide to the must-haves:

1. Pull-Out Drawers

Tired of bending down to find that one pan buried in the back? Everything is at your fingertips with ease thanks to pull-out drawers. Even better are tandem boxes, which are robust, deep and perfect for organizing containers, pots and pans.

Smart storage for tight spaces

• Perfect for storing heavy cookware without hassle.

Pro Tip: Opt for soft-close mechanisms to avoid loud bangs and keep things sleek.

2. Cutlery Trays & Plate Organisers

Bid farewell to that disorganized mess of knives, spoons, and forks. Cutlery trays keep everything sorted, right where you need them. Plate holders and organisers, on the other hand, help keep crockery damage-free and easy to access.

Everything in its place

• Avoids clutter and saves time during meal prep.

3. Corner Solutions: Magic Corners

Corners are tricky. The majority of people either overlook them or find it difficult to make effective use of the space. These L-shaped sliding shelves ensure that no inch is wasted, introducing magic corners.

Make corners work harder

• Rotating trays are ideal for those awkward areas.
• Great for storing rarely-used yet necessary items.

4. Tall Units for Pantry Storage

Tall units are a game-changer if you're always fighting with overflowing groceries. Cereals, sauces, snacks, and more can all be kept in these vertical cabinets without taking up any floor space.

Go vertical, save space

• Adds a designated space for bulk storage.

Think about it: You’re going vertical, not wider. Its perfect for small kitchens.

5. Under-Sink Organisers

Cleaning supplies also require a home, and no, throwing them under the sink is not acceptable. To keep your dish soap, scrubs, trash bags, and disinfectants organized and accessible, use a modular under-sink organizer.

6. Overhead Cabinets with Hydraulic Lifts

It can be risky to reach for heavy dishes from above. Because they open upward with little effort and don't swing in your face, cabinets with hydraulic lifts are becoming more and more popular. Bonus: they also have a very sleek appearance.

Overhead cabinets help in increasing more storage

• Ideal for storing less frequently used kitchenware.

7. Built-In Spice Racks & Bottle Pull-Outs

Indian cooking means using a lot of spices. Instead of crowding your countertop, install a slim spice rack or bottle pull-out near the stove. It’s one of the smartest modular kitchen accessories that brings both convenience and tidiness.

Easy access to oils & sauces

• Keeps essentials within arm’s reach while cooking.

8. Open Shelves for Quick Access

There are times when you simply have to grab and go. Oil bottles, tea jars, and other everyday items can be stored on open shelves above the countertop, as can decorative accents to add character to your kitchen.
