No matter how big your kitchen is, you will always complain about the lack of storage. However there are ways to solve your storage problems and here are some of them.
- Add more freestanding pieces– By doing so you will compensate the lack of kitchen cabinets that you need to store everything that you have in your kitchen. For instance you can place a freestanding kitchen armoire in one corner of your kitchen and keep all your china, dishware and utensils in it. This way you will open enough space in your kitchen cabinets to store more food products.
- Mount open shelves – It is a proven fact that open shelves can store more items can cabinets. So don’t be hesitant to mount several open shelves on one of your kitchen walls. This way you will not only enhance the storage capacity of your kitchen but give to the room a more interesting mood as open shelves are becoming more and more popular amongst homeowners. Once you are done mounting the shelves, call a junk removal company to clear of the rubbish for you. It is for the best if you use such services are you will be too tired to conduct this task on our own.
- Use the cabinet doors – Do you know that you can use the back of your cabinet doors to store small items such as salt and pepper shakers? Simply mount over the door wire organizers on the back of the doors and voila you will have more space to store the smallest items that you keep in your kitchen.
- Convert the bottom of your kitchen cabinetry – All kitchen cabinets have a wooden frame on which they stand. So why don’t you convert the wooden frame into several drawers in which you can keep the not so essential things. Note that his conversion project will certainly generate immense amount of waste, so make sure that you book the services of a company that provide junk removals before you commence your project. Have no worries that you may not be able to book such services, because lots of waste clearance companies work with flexible work schedules and even more tend to accept last minute bookings.
- Use the side of a fridge cabinet – If you have a fridge cabinet you can easily use its side as a bulletin board by hanging several build-in bins on it. This way you will convert this section of your kitchen into a command centre where you will keep all the information about the meals that you are planning to cook, the groceries that are to be made and etc.
- Use the air space – Most people don’t place shelves higher than their reach. The truth is that all this unused space can be used for storage purposes. So add shelves up to the ceiling. Simply keep the essential things on the lower shelves and the not so important things on the upper shelves.
Now that you know these six solutions for your kitchen storage problems, don’t wait a minute longer to implement them into your kitchen and solve all your problems.
