Kitchens store many things, from food and cooking equipment to small appliances, so for effective kitchen storage solutions, it is important to be organized. Think about how to better organize your necessities by grouping them by task, and your life is going to be much easier. If you can’t tear down your walls to add more shelves and cabinetry in your kitchen, there are some excellent kitchen storage space options.
Expandable Corner Cabinet
Have an empty corner in your kitchen? Take advantage of that empty space by purchasing a custom-made cabinet to fit in the corner. Incorporate small shelves in the doors to store spices and smaller bottles. Keep your corner cabinet free of clutter by storing everything from original packing to glass jars or metal containers.
Hidden Pantry
Many people have a few inches of empty space in the area beside their fridge. Use that space for storage by incorporating a hidden roll-out pantry. Everyone loves secret doors, especially when they are a practical solution for storing kitchen items! These shelves are often the perfect size for storing spices and canned goods, freeing up more room in your existing cabinets.
Under-Sink Storage
Another kitchen storage space idea is to efficiently use the space under your kitchen sink. This can be a challenge with plumbing parts in the way. But you can beat this by installing a beautiful stainless steel door rack to keep your cleaning supplies.
Multitasking Baskets
Pull-out baskets introduce an interesting texture into your kitchen design. They also serve the purpose of storing frequently used items or food that doesn’t require refrigeration.
Well-designed Disposal
Trash and recycle bins fill up quickly, so instead of purchasing freestanding bins, convert one of your cabinets into a garbage and recycling center or install practical pullouts.
Drawer Organizers
Your drawers are useless if you can’t find what you need in them right away. Plus, a well-organized drawer can offer more storage space. Consider purchasing or incorporating drawer organizers, dividers, or custom drawer inserts, all of which can help you organize your drawers perfectly.
Wall Hooks
Wall hooks are ideal for coffee mugs and other cups with handles. They also work for other items such as spoons, measuring cups, and other utensils you use often.
Rearrange Appliances
Make more room for rolling racks and standalone shelving by removing all the appliances you don’t use that often. Store these in a cabinet and take out mugs, pots, and pans to achieve a more interesting look. Leave appliances that are too big to store and those you use often, but choose a single space for them and try to keep them close to avoid a cluttered look.
