1 Wine storage
If you don’t have a large collection of cookware to house, it makes sense to shift some of that storage space to something you do use.
Oenophiles may want to add a temperature-controlled wine cellar cabinet for bottles that need to be aged, in addition to open shelving for ready-to-drink bottles.
You could even create your own home wine bar experience with wall-mounted bottle storage, paired with a ‘tasting bar’ attached to the wall.

2 A delightful seating area
When you don’t need to worry about maximising cabinet space, some fun possibilities open up; a lovely little seating area in the kitchen is one great option. After all, even if you don’t spend hours cooking, you’re likely to want to be able to sit down in a comfortable space and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, or a simple supper (even if it’s a takeaway) after a long day.

4 A library wall
If books are one of your great loves, consider dedicating a kitchen wall to bookshelves. You can house a good portion of those books that seem to multiply when you’re not looking, while keeping kitchen storage options flexible. As long as the shelves are large enough, a future owner could just as easily use them to store dishes, cookware or cook books.

5 The basics (just in case)
Even those who rarely cook should include a few basic appliances in the kitchen. You never know whether you may one day decide to cook at home more often, and even if you don’t enjoy cooking frequently, most people occasionally need a kitchen stocked with the basics.
A fridge-freezer, hob, oven, sink, dishwasher, toaster and microwave are the bare bones for most kitchens. That said, these pieces do not need to be massive to get the job done. In fact, going overboard on appliances may just make cooking in your kitchen seem more intimidating.

If your kitchen is small and you rarely cook, one alternative to the classic big oven is a separate hob paired with a compact oven, or even a combination microwave (microwave, oven and grill).

And if you really have no use for a giant fridge-freezer, consider instead a few handy fridge and freezer drawers. They can be tucked into small nooks and don’t overwhelm a space like a full-size fridge can.
