Kitchen Storage That Works Your Way

Compact kitchens benefit most from storage that adapts rather than dictates. IKEA's KUNGSFORS system brings open shelves, grids and rails together so utensils, ingredients and tools stay visible and within reach, whatever the size of the room.

Build a wall that works as hard as you do

KUNGSFORS turns a plain kitchen wall into a working surface in its own right. Shelves, a wall grid and rails combine so pots, utensils and jars sit out in the open rather than buried in cupboards, which suits smaller kitchens where every cupboard tends to fill up fast. The pieces mount directly to the wall or hang from suspension rails, so the whole arrangement can shift as cooking habits change. It is a practical answer for galley kitchens and narrow kitchenettes found in many apartments and maisonettes, where worktop space is limited but wall space often goes unused.

Let a chefs eye shape the layout

The system was developed with input from a professional chef, which shows in details such as the magnetic knife rack for keeping blades sharp and visible, and the net bag for airing out garlic, onions or citrus rather than letting them sweat in a drawer. During Malta's long, humid summers, that kind of open storage helps fresh produce last longer and keeps the kitchen feeling less cluttered. A tablet stand also fits neatly on the rail, handy for following a recipe while hands are busy at the hob.

Mix and match to suit your own space

What makes KUNGSFORS useful beyond a single kitchen style is how freely the pieces combine. A container or two can hold cooking oils and utensils, a kitchen trolley adds mobile storage and worktop space where fitted units run short, and the wall grid ties it all together. Townhouse kitchens with odd corners and older Gozo properties with thick walls and narrow galleys both benefit from a system that can be rearranged rather than rebuilt, letting the layout grow with the household instead of the other way round.
