Specialised Storage Solutions Mansfield
Ever opened your kitchen cabinets and had stuff fall on your head? Yeah, us too. At Kudos Kitchens, we sort that mess out with clever storage that works for real homes and real families.
We're Michael and Emma, and we run Kudos Kitchens as a family business right here in Mansfield. Since 2022, we've helped loads of local families across Nottinghamshire fix their kitchen storage nightmares.
Why Our Storage Solutions Are Different
Most kitchens come with basic cupboards and drawers that waste tons of space. With experienced joiners on our team, we look at your kitchen differently.
"When I first visited the Kudos showroom, Michael spent ages asking about how I use my kitchen. He noticed I had a huge baking hobby and designed storage just for all my baking stuff. No other kitchen company did that!" - Hannah from Mansfield Woodhouse
Unlike the big chain stores selling one-size-fits-all kitchens, we take the time to learn your habits, hobbies, and headaches. Then we custom design storage that makes your life easier.
Pantry and Food Storage That Makes Sense
Got packets of food vanishing into the back of cabinets? We've got solutions that bring everthing to you.
Our pull-out pantry systems let you see and reach every item, even stuff at the very back. No more forgotten food or wasted money.
For our Mansfield customers and those in nearby towns like Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield, we've installed dozens of these life-changing pantry systems.
Some of our most popular food storage solutions include:
- Full-height pull-out pantry units
- Custom spice drawer systems with angled storage
- Drawer-in-drawer designs for separating small and large items
- Specialty bread and vegatable storage
- Tall larder units with adjustable interior fittings
Emma says: "I've got 5 kids, so I know food storage is a nightmare without proper systems. Our pantry designs come from real-life problems I've solved in our own home."
Clever Corner Cabinet Solutions
Corner cabinets are usually where kitchen items go to disappear. Not anymore!
Our corner systems use smart mechanics to bring everything out to you:
- Le Mans corner systems that swing out completely (named after the race track shape)
- Carousel units that rotate for easy access
- Magic corner pull-outs that use every inch of space
- Half-moon lazy susans for upper cabinets
"I used to have to get on my hands and knees to find anything in my corner cabinet. Now everything comes right out to me with just a gentle pull. It's brilliant!" - Carole from Warsop
These aren't cheap fixes - we use high-quality mechanisms from European suppliers that are tested for thousands of open-close cycles. They'll still work perfectly years from now.
Kitchen Tool and Equipment Storage
Sick of jumbled utensil drawers? Pots with missing lids? We've got you.
We create:
- Custom knife storage integrated into worktops or drawers
- Pot and pan drawers with dividers for lids
- Utensil organisers designed around your actual tools
- Dedicated spaces for odd-shaped items like graters and zesters
- Pull-out chopping board stations
Michael says: "I once designed a special drawer for a customer who collects vintage kitchen tools. Each piece had its own custom-sized compartment. She cried when she saw it - said it was the first time her collection had a proper home."
We've fitted these systems in homes across Nottinghamshire, including Mansfield, Edwinstowe, and Ollerton.
Hidden and Space-Saving Solutions
Got a small kitchen? We're experts at finding space where you didn't know it existed.
Some of our favorite sneaky storage spots:
- Toe-kick drawers under base cabinets for rarely-used items
- Pull-out bottle racks in narrow spaces
- Over-refrigerator cabinets with specialised pull-down systems
- Under-sink organisers that work around plumbing
- Integrated chopping boards that slide out when needed
One of our cleverest projects was for a tiny cottage kitchen in Farnsfield where we managed to hide a complete home office that folded away when not in use!

- Wine storage with temperature considerations

"Michael designed an amazing baking corner in my kitchen. All my mixing bowls, baking pans, and cake decorating tools have special spots now. It's like my own little GBBO setup!" - Dianne from Rainworth
Not Just For New Kitchens
Did you know we can add specialised storage to your existing kitchen too?
We often retrofit clever storage solutions to existing cabinets, giving you the benefits without a complete renovation. This has been especially popular with our customers in Shirebrook and Clipstone.
We can:
- Replace standard shelves with pull-out systems
- Add drawer organisers to existing drawers
- Install pull-down systems in high cabinets
- Convert standard cabinets to specialised storage
Our Design and Installation Process
Here's how we create custom storage solutions that actually work:
- We visit your home and watch how you use your kitchen
- We ask about pain points and storage dreams
- We take an inventory of what needs storing
- We design solutions specific to your items and habits
- We show you 3D models of our ideas
- We install everything with our expert team
- We follow up to make sure everything works for you
Our approach is totally different from the "pick from our catalog" style of most kitchen companies.
What Makes Our Storage Solutions Stand Out?
We don't just sell you standard products - we create solutions that match how you live.
Our storage systems feature:
- Soft-close mechanisms that prevent slamming
- Full-extension drawers for complete access
- Premium materials that won't sag or break
- Weight ratings that handle real-world use
- Adjustable components that adapt as your needs change
"The storage solutions in our new kitchen have literally changed how we cook. I can find everything instantly, nothing gets lost, and clean-up is so much faster. Worth every penny." - Paul from Market Warsop
What People Ask Us About Kitchen Storage
What are the best kitchen storage solutions?
The best storage solutions are the ones designed around your specific needs. Unlike cookie-cutter options from big chains, we look at how you use your kitchen, what items you need to store, and design custom systems just for you. For most Mansfield homes, a mix of pull-out pantry units, corner optimisers, and drawer organisers makes the biggest difference.
How much do custom kitchen storage solutions cost?
Custom storage ranges from about £200 for simple drawer organisers to £2,000+ for complete pantry systems. Most of our customers in the Mansfield area spend between £1,000-£3,000 on specialised storage solutions as part of a kitchen renovation. We can work with various budgets to prioritise the storage that will make the biggest impact in your daily life.
What are pull-out storage solutions?
Pull-out storage brings items from the back of cabinets to you, eliminating reaching, kneeling, or digging. These can be simple drawer systems or complex mechanisms that swing, rotate, or extend. We install high-quality systems with soft-close mechanisms that will last for decades without failing. They're especially popular in homes around Mansfield Woodhouse and Forest Town where we've installed dozens of them.
How do I maximise corner cabinet storage?
Corner cabinets need specialised hardware to be truly usful. Simple lazy susans only solve part of the problem. We recommend Le Mans systems for base corners and half-moon pull-outs for wall corners. These systems cost more than basic solutions but provide 100% access to corner spaces, effectively doubling your usable storage. We've installed these throughout Nottinghamshire with amazing feedback.
What is the best way to organise deep kitchen cabinets?
Deep cabinets need pull-out systems to be practical. We recommend drawer-in-drawer systems for maximum organisation, or full-extension pull-outs with adjustable dividers. For budget-friendly options, we can install sliding basket systems. The right choice depends on what you're storing and how often you need to access it.
