Now this might just be the ultimate DIY kitchen island for smaller spaces!
If you want a kitchen island bench in your small kitchen or if you simply need more storage, then this functional kitchen island unit with timber crate pantry storage is one clever idea you should definitely look at!
It can store your kitchen towels, clean table napkins and shelf-stable foods like canned goods, pasta noodles and biscuits. You can also use this clever kitchen island to store some of your most commonly used kitchen utensils and cooking materials.
Want your kitchen counter or dining table to be clear of fruits and vegetables? This DIY kitchen island/pantry storage is a great way to keep them ‘out of sight’ yet still be easily accessible!
All those kitchen items mentioned can be stored altogether in this amazing kitchen island! Its front and back side are both usable, where you can always access the larger crates. It also has caster wheels, making the whole kitchen island easy to move and put away if you need to.
Big or small kitchen, this functional, portable kitchen island unit is a really great option for anyone looking for more storage – as long as there’s sufficient space of course. :)
And it’s a DIY project definitely not only for the kitchen. If you want a nice work station for your crafts or the garden, go ahead and build one!
