Half unit sized gap - what to fill it with?

[SnuffleGruntSnorter]

After a mini kitchen/utility rearrange I am left with a half unit sized gap in my kitchen where a half sized dishwasher used to be. I can't afford a whole new kitchen at the moment, so am left with an unsightly gap. What would you put in there? I keep thinking of a wine fridge but it seems frivolous and not that useful. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I've got a double space in mine where under-counter fridge & freezer used to be. I have 2 of those 4-drawer plastic things on casters on one side - they're very useful for tins.

This kind of thing

Not at all beautiful but cheap & practical temporarily

Drawers like this?

Both good ideas! Thanks for the replies, I hadn't really considered drawers that weren't official kitchen drawers

half a unit would be 300mm but I think you mean 400mm

Both are standard sizes for kitchen units, a white self-assembly would be cheapest but you can have rigid in your choice of laminate colour or woodgrain if you want.

IMO pull-out wicker or grass baskets look good, but you can also get chrome or plastic pull-out racks and drawers, on ball-bearing runners as smooth as filing cabinet drawers. It might be difficult to match your existing door and drawer fronts, though.

These are good for bottles

We have a bottle rack and a gap with a pull out teatowel rail in our half gap. Also have a little shelf below the teatowel rail where we keep the kids' water bottles

Cover with a curtain ? Have cheap and cheerful storage under - this is a pic from my kitchen - there's a spare cheap freezer under there !

I love your kitchen, houzz!

You're right of course PJ, it's not really half a unit, the dishwasher was 450mm. I've got lots of good ideas here, thanks everyone.

I kind of hoped for some kind of magical kitchen thing to make me endlessly happy though. Like a cupboard to narnia, unicorn dispenser etc.

Wow, that looks a lovely kitchen OnePlan - don't think I could put random pics of my kitchen to the public. Looks like wall matches unit colour? Pulls everything together well.

Aaaahhh, Charleston Grey..... excellent choice for cupboards same as mine

Ahh ( blushes !!) thank you !
Glad you like it ! It almost matches - Walls are Chemise ( an old, now discontinued F&B colour) and the base cabinets are moles breath (Also F&B)
... But it was blue at one stage and duck egg blue and all white ! I get bored easily !

It's the dead penguin that makes it !! ( dogs toy !)
