Why didn’t I know about this?

Apparently you can have drawers built in your kitchen behind the kickboards under the units...plinth drawers, which would be so bloody useful in my kitchen. I need to try and find out if they can be fitted now after the kitchen is in!

I didn't know that either - mind blown. Great idea

It is a fab idea. I saw it on Instagram and 🤯 obviously they are shallow but for tea towels, baking trays, etc they would be so useful.

Where and how does one get them? Asking for a friend. Obviously.

I've often thought that was a waste of space, same as on top of the cupboards in a fitted kitchen.
Never knew about them either, thanks OP.

I’m not sure, this is something I’ll need to find out. Howdens and IKEA sell them.

🤫 Great hiding places! I'd love these.

@HandsFaceSpaceHopper I’d love wee built on
Cupboard at the top, I’m tall though so it’s fine to
have really high cupboards

Wow that is fabulous

I need these in my life

very very interesting.....

They also come with wheels!

@0blio I’m sold ‘take my money!!!’

Shops use these under their lower shelves. Very useful!

OMG my tiny kitchen needs these! I can't see them at IKEA though, can anyone link?

Stacey Solomon is always going on about hers on Instagram. I'd love some!

plinth pods - wonder how much they cost...

I have them, they are handy, store dishwasher tablets, bin bags in one, another has hoover bags, a brush and dustpan and one with oven trays. Great space saver! You can also get plinth heaters which I know can be installed retrospectively. It's great for warming up a cold kitchen!

Had them in a flat in London in the early noughties.......

@Plump82 it was on Stacey Solomon’s Instagram that I saw them and just thought ‘what an amazing idea’

I’m so glad I saw this before we started planning a new kitchen! Can you still use them if you’ve got underfloor heating?

We built our own

The first one was in the utility and held the cat's litter tray so it could be shoved back during the day when. He didn't use it

The others we use for trays

Utility one currently used for cloths, we've also used it for bun bags and cleaning stuff

DP built our kitchen about 18 years ago and installed these. Great for all sorts of things.

I need a new kitchen these in my kitchen which whilst a good size was designed by a man someone with no idea how to utilise the space.

Will see if dh would like a new weekend project

@PuppyMonkey ooh you have proper drawers.

Ours are still at the 'prototype' phase, ie cardboard. Ive been promised proper wood drawers for years
