Maximize Space with Glass Hangers
Are your cabinets full of stuff? When you have glasses and dishes stacked on top of each other, it’s much harder to access the items you actually need. Make the most out of your cabinets by maximizing vertical space. Get some wire racks to attach to the backs of your cabinets, and hang your glasses near the top to get way more storage room inside.
Use Pegboard
Take inspiration from Julia Child with a pegboard for the kitchen. Julia used hers to attach pots, pans and kitchen utensils right to the wall. This keeps everything you use the most often within easy reach, and it keeps your cabinets, counters and drawers from becoming cluttered with the items you look for every single time you cook.
Add Some Stackable Shelves
Are you using all your available cabinet space, or just some of it? Add some stackable shelves to your cabinets, and you’ll find that you can stack a lot more dishes in one place. With shelves, you can practically double the storage capacity for every single one of your cabinets — and wouldn’t that be nice?
Intensify Your Space with Tension Rods
Add tension rods to your cabinets, and you can store a lot more. Install tension rods horizontally across cabinets to hold spray bottles under the sink. Place them vertically inside cabinets to store your cutting boards, serving platters and baking dishes. Tension rods are perfect dividers for vertically stacking kitchen items, and they make it easier for you to see what you’ve got so you can find exactly what you need.
Design the Kitchen of Your Dreams
It’s easier than you think to create a well-organized, high-functioning kitchen. Incorporate some easy storage solutions into your space, and you’ll find out that you have a lot more kitchen space than you ever knew. With just a few changes, you can make your kitchen one of the best rooms in your home.
