The majority of us would like to make the most of the storage space in our kitchens by incorporating the most space-efficient shelves and wall units. If you look at the most modern modular kitchens found in many homes, there are shelves that lift up in the walls. This is ideal for those who like everything to be within reach. If you're busy with cooking activities, you'll just need to lift your finger to open the cabinets. They're very easy to use and noiseless also.

#5: Easy Flap-up

Flap-up shutters for cabinets come in two versions- double and single flap. They are an extension of the lifting mechanism. It is great for wall cabinets when there's too little space to install an open-door cabinet. Both variations of this mechanism are equally effective and you can select the one that suits your preference and the height of the cabinet overhead. Glass or frosted glass shutter is the most attractive when it comes to this type of shutter.

#6: Retracting Drawers

Drawers that retract are the best companions for lazy chefs. And it's not just us who believe this.
