8 of the Best Kitchen Hacks from House of Harvee

House-of-Harvee-standing-in-her-dream-organised-kitchen-sharing-her-hacks

When we visited Krystal Giardina at her completed House of Harvee renovation, we noticed that she was incredibly savvy when it came to kitchen design. A busy household requires optimal efficiency and practicality, and she has a few key ideas that make for some of the best kitchen hacks. These clever tricks not only promote better daily functionality but also add a sense of style — which is what makes for a well-rounded design.  

Join us as we delve deeper into the eight kitchen hacks that live inside the celebrated House of Harvee family home.

1. Spray Attachment for Tailored Washing

For those with a pull-out hose on their kitchen mixer, one of the simplest kitchen cleaning hacks is a spray attachment. It allows you to alter the type of spray that is output for a truly tailored washing-up experience. If purchasing a spray attachment from ABI Interiors, you can flick between concentrated tunnel spray, which is best for targeted specific areas when cleaning tougher stains, or wide angle spray, which is helpful for general rinsing and soaking.

2. Kitchen Colanders Redefine Practicality

The mighty old colander is no stranger to cooking duties, but modern ones have redefined it into one of today’s best kitchen hacks. Designs like the Felicity are made to sit more centrally in the kitchen rather than stowed away in a cupboard. These types of colanders have edges to hold them inside the sink — making it an accessory that can not only strain food but also give you a quick kitchen storage hack by keeping small cleaning items accessible.

3. Charming Modernity With a Farmhouse Sink

A mainstay in older designs, farmhouse sinks have endured trends throughout the years for a reason. Due to their robust, ceramic structure, they’re the best kitchen hacks for those who want a longstanding fixture. The material can withstand knocks and is resistant to chipping, while the finish hides scratches and water spots very effectively. Farmhouse sinks have a very generous size and are a sought-after fixture, which may bode well in the future if you decide to sell.

4. A Pull-Out Rack to Spice Up Cooking

Pull-out spice racks are popular kitchen cupboard storage hacks of recent years, and it’s not hard to see why. Instead of having your spice jars haphazardly stored in an open pantry, where they get knocked or forgotten, they can stand proud and orderly in a dedicated space. Install near the stove or your prep area for seamless cooking convenience.

5. Hidden Coffee Bar for a Caffeine Retreat

The best kitchen hacks for coffee enthusiasts will always be spaces that feel personal and prepared — and what better way than a seamless coffee bar? This can be as simple as repurposing an existing cabinet or as extravagant as an integrated breakfast station. The idea is to fashion a space where your perfect start to the day can feel special and ritualised.

6. Dedicate a Drawer to Snacks

This kitchen storage hack will make every day a little bit easier when you’re peckish! A pull-out drawer dedicated to your favourite snacks is the ultimate convenience and ideal for busy households. You can easily pre-portion the snacks you want for the week, keeping them organised and accessible without running the risk of forgetting them in the back of your pantry. It is also a good opportunity to encourage healthy snacking habits with kids, as they can independently select the treats you approve of without the need for constant supervision.

7. Concealed Pantry for Seamless Minimalism

For those who enjoy a flowing design that makes good use of space, consider a concealed pantry in your design. This kitchen cupboard storage hack, similar to the hidden coffee bar idea, makes your pantry either blend into or be hidden from your vision. This can make for a more open workflow, as the opening of cupboards while cooking won’t interrupt smaller spaces.

8. Integrated Bin is a Sleek Solution

Last but certainly not least, in House of Harvee’s best kitchen hacks: an integrated bin. These offer a trifecta of advantages for daily living by promoting tidiness, odour control, and convenience. By having your bin available to you in a pull-out drawer, you can easily put scraps or rubbish straight into their appropriate bin, minimising the chance for it to fall on the floor. This option is also much more aesthetically pleasing than a traditional freestanding bin and is also a great option to save space in a compact kitchen. 

Incorporating kitchen hacks into your kitchen’s design can elevate efficiency to make each day a little more efficient. When thinking about which kitchen hack you want to adopt, make sure you’re considering what your ideal workflow would look like and go from there. The amendments you choose should be individual to your needs and dimensions.
