6. Multifunctional drinks cabinet

A drinks cabinet doesn’t necessarily need to be for alcohol! The bespoke drinks cabinet shown below also works as a coffee station, allowing bulky coffee machines and messy pods to be hidden away. But the owners haven’t limited this practical feature to caffeine and chinaware, there’s enough storage for glassware, crockery and more, making for some very versatile kitchen storage.
