Organisation plays a huge role in how your kitchen feels when you cook, fetch a snack, or even move around the space. If the insides are messy and chaotic, good looking cabinets and premium finishes on the outside can only go so far in giving you a kitchen you want to spend time in.
We have designed the I FORM range to help homeowners, architects, and designers organise kitchens and pantries in a way that feels intuitive, clutter-free, and easy to maintain. These are the details you don’t always see from the outside, but you experience them every single day.
For storing loose groceries neatly: Wicker Baskets
If you want to organise vegetables, fruits, bread, or dry groceries without trapping moisture, wicker baskets are a smart solution. They work beautifully inside tall pantry units or base cabinets. Open storage improves air circulation, which helps keep produce fresher for longer while making everything visible at a glance.
How to use them effectively
- Store onions, potatoes, garlic, and fresh produce that shouldn’t be kept airtight
- Use them for bread, snacks, or daily breakfast items
- Place them in pull-out pantry units so you can see everything at once
Instead of plastic containers or random bags, wicker baskets give you breathable, natural storage that also looks warm and well-organised. You get quick access without digging through cluttered shelves.
For hiding clutter while keeping access easy: Rolling Shutters
If you want a clean kitchen look without sacrificing storage, rolling shutters are the answer. They are a smart way to hide frequently used appliances without sacrificing quick access.
Best ways to use rolling shutters
- Create an appliance garage for mixers, toasters, coffee machines, and air fryers
- Use them in pantry areas to hide shelves while keeping them accessible
- Maintain a clutter-free countertop without moving appliances every day
Dorset’s rolling shutter systems are perfect for appliance garages, breakfast counters, or compact pantries. You can roll them up when in use and close them once done, instantly restoring a clutter-free appearance. Everything stays within reach, but your kitchen still looks neat and minimal.
For organising plates safely and hygienically: Plate Trays
Plate trays are one of the most underrated kitchen organisers. If you’re tired of stacking plates on top of each other or dealing with chipped edges, plate trays are your answer. They allow plates to stand upright, making them easier to pick and safer to store.
Where plate trays work best
- In base cabinets near the sink or dishwasher
- Inside pull-out drawers for daily-use plates
- In lower pantry units for heavier crockery
They stop the plates from moving inside the cabinets, prevent scratches, and make unloading dishes quicker. This small change can significantly improve how smoothly your kitchen functions during busy meal times.
For structured cutlery storage: Cutlery Trays
If your cutlery drawer feels chaotic or constantly overfilled, a dedicated tray can completely change the experience. Proper separation makes it easier to find what you need and maintain hygiene.
Smart organisation tips
- Assign specific slots for spoons, forks, knives, and serving tools
- Keep frequently used items at the front of the drawer
- Use deeper drawers to combine cutlery with small kitchen tools
A well-organised cutlery tray saves time during cooking and cleaning, and it makes the drawer feel less chaotic every time you open it.
For preventing slipping and noise: Anti-Skid Mats
Dorset’s anti-skid mats help keep cutlery, jars, bottles, and containers firmly in place. They also protect drawer surfaces from spills and stains, making cleaning easier.
How to use anti-skid mats
- Line drawers that store glassware or ceramic bowls
- Place them under spice jars, oil bottles, or storage containers
- Use them inside pull-out pantry units to prevent movement while opening and closing
They may seem like a small addition, but they add noticeable comfort to daily kitchen use.
For organised plates and easy daily access: GTPT (Glass Tray Plate Tray)
If you want plates, bowls, and serving dishes stored neatly without stacking and unstacking every time, a dedicated plate tray makes everyday use far easier.
Best use cases
- Store daily plates and bowls in lower cabinets
- Store plates vertically for easy access
- Keep dishes stable and chip-free
- Improve hygiene by allowing airflow and drainage
This system helps maintain order without overcomplicating the layout. Everything is visible, accessible, and easy to put back.

These fittings are designed to quietly support your lifestyle, whether you cook every day or entertain often.
Final Thoughts
An organised kitchen doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of smart planning and the right internal fittings. Dorset’s I FORM range helps you turn ordinary cabinets into purposeful storage areas that feel intuitive and effortless to use.
When your kitchen works with you instead of against you, everyday tasks feel lighter. And that’s exactly what good kitchen hardware should do.
FAQ
1. What is the I FORM range and how does it help with kitchen organisation?
The I FORM range is Dorset’s internal kitchen organisation system designed to maximise usable space, reduce clutter, and improve daily access to stored items. It focuses on smart internal fittings rather than visible cabinetry.
2. What are wicker baskets used for in a modular kitchen?
Wicker baskets are used for storing vegetables, fruits, bread, and dry groceries that need ventilation. They allow airflow, prevent moisture build-up, and keep items visible and easy to access inside cabinets or pantries.
3. Are wicker baskets hygienic for kitchen storage?
Yes, when used correctly. Wicker baskets allow air circulation, reducing dampness and spoilage. They are ideal for produce and dry items but should not be used for raw meat or wet storage.
4. What are rolling shutters used for in kitchen storage?
Rolling shutters are used to hide appliances and shelves while keeping them easily accessible. They help create appliance garages and maintain a clutter-free countertop without moving appliances in and out daily.
5. Why are cutlery trays important for kitchen organisation?
Cutlery trays separate spoons, forks, knives, and tools into dedicated sections. This reduces clutter, improves hygiene, speeds up cooking and cleaning, and keeps drawers consistently organised.
