What's this gap in my kitchen for?

[stabilitymyarse]

Just moved and the kitchen has a big space but no cupboards and I can't work out what to do with it. It doesn't look an efficient use of space for pans and I don't have that many anyway! Maybe I should buy some cupboard doors for it??

Plates

A place for their dog to sleep!

Surely it’s for a dog bed 😁

I was going to say plates, but actually I think it’s a hidey space for a cat

I was thinking dog bed or maybe for vegetable racks.

Could you put a large wicker basket there for storage?

What was there when you viewed the property?

Is the property still up on the estate agent's website, with photos, so you could check?

Space for your dog

Dog bed put tiered wicker baskets in if you don’t have a dog.

DD's new house has a space like that, she's put a double rubbish and recycling bin in there.

What's going on with the right hand drawer above the space Op?

Wine rack.

I would use if for bins and recycling but agree it was probably meant for a dog.

I’d ask rhe sellers or landlord, I doubt it’s for a dog.

Think Stacey Solomon has spaces like that in her utility room. She's got dog beds in I think? I'd get a few storage boxes stacked in there or use it for a bin

Loving the idea of a dog bed! But unfortunately we don't have one . It was empty when we saw it so I have no idea what was there before. We need a new bin so that's a good thought and I like the wicker basket idea. Maybe I could put a shelf across the middle of half and have wicker baskets and bin on the other side....

Yes the drawer needs some attention as it's a bit damaged unfortunately....

Appliances like bread maker, pressure cooker, etc or a wine rack?

That's exactly what I'd use it for. Lots of lovely 🍷

And gin. Though personally I keep my gin in the fridge because I never remember to make new ice cubes.

These work brilliantly in corners like that. Mine have doors on, but still very useful. They slide across easily, so you can fill them, pull one out of the way and slide the hidden one forward.

Mine have picnic stuff/lunch boxes/water bottles, and jam jars, and baking stuff. Light, slidey, lots of capacity.

Kitchen unit dog bed.

The obvious solution here is to get a dog.

Oooh thanks these look good. I'll check them out!

Open storage- pans, plates etc
