A great way to break up the monotony of cupboards in a kitchen is by using a big freestanding unit or cupboard to store all your crockery and counter appliances such as blenders and mixers. A tall cupboard will have much more storage space, as it is not divided by a piece of worktop.

Think hide-away ironing board, bespoke home entertainment station or even an integrated cloak stand and shoe rack with storage bench that doubles as additional seating. You are limited only by imagination.
