Getting the Most Out of Your Kitchen
No matter the size of your kitchen, everyone can benefit from a little additional space. A well-organized kitchen can not only boost your efficiency, it can provide more counter space for your family to use and enjoy. The kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s a place to gather and connect with friends and family, so it makes sense to give your kitchen the attention it needs. Here are a few ways you can get the most out of your kitchen space.
Use Open Wall Space
Open walls have almost limitless potential for storage options. Need more counter space? Simply hang a shelf or a pegboard for additional storage. Pegboards are perhaps one of the most versatile ways to store items. Not only do they help save space, they can look quite stylish. Easily hang pots, pans, and utensils with ease. For further convenience, consider installing a magnet bar to store your knives as well. Before you know it, you’ll have nearly your entire kitchen right at your fingertips.
Cabinet Door Racks
The insides of your cabinets doors are perfect for storing a wide assortment of items. Simply install a hanging rack and begin filling them up. As a rule of thumb, you’ll most likely only have space for small items such as spices, oils, and other similar sized items, but you’ll be able to free up space elsewhere in your kitchen. Also, they’re convenient to use and allow you to further organize your kitchen.
Hooks for Coffee Cups
Without a doubt, most homes often have an abundance of coffee cups. Whether you received them from work, picked one up at a thrift shop, or was gifted one by a dear friend, they seem to pile up. Unfortunately, they can take up quite a bit of cabinet space. To remedy this, install hooks under hanging cabinets and arrange them in a stylish manner. When hung, they not only look great, the convenient location makes it easier for guests to find and grab.
Install Rolling Shelves
If you’ve never seen or heard of rolling shelves before, you’re in for a treat. No longer do you have to strain your back while grabbing a pan in a cabinet below. Rolling shelves can be pulled out with ease, allowing you to quickly grab what you need. Additionally, rolling shelves allow you to further organize your kitchenware. More often than not, storing pots and pans in a large open space can quickly turn into a mess. Shelves allow you to get the most out of your space and provide a new level of convenience.
Add a Pot Rack
Another great way to free up cabinet space is by installing a pot rack. Pot racks are fixtures that hang above your kitchen and feature several hooks to hang pots and pans from. It’s a simple solution to free up a vast amount of space all throughout your kitchen. Not only are they convenient, they’re pretty stylish, too! As an added bonus, they can certainly give your kitchen a nice rustic charm.
