Kitchens are unique and personalized to each home, and sometime that might result in a lack of storage space. We’ve put a few suggestions together to help you maximize the space you have, while making your kitchen look amazing too.

Ready? Here we go:

Stackable shelves and baskets can be your biggest ally. It’s not easy to build on horizontal space, however vertical space is a different story. Stackable shelves and containers can really change a space as they can add dimensional and practical areas. Stack shelves onto countertops, in cabinets, in pantries, and anywhere else you can create vertical storage space.

Cabinets are already used for storage, but you can certainly create more storage space by utilizing it to it’s full potential. You can attach other storage pieces to the inside of cabinet doors, such as hooked baskets, to create more storage space. It’ll help get rid of the clutter on your counter. Cabinets become really useful the more organized you are because you can easily and quickly find what you’re looking for.

Floor space can also get very full and cluttered if you’re not organized and have thought through how you want to utilize the space. A great trick is to install swivel stools to your kitchen bar, rather than regular bar stools. It’ll leave the floor space open and looks really cool too. This will give the illusion of more space, and will give you more space to actually work with.

Something we continue to harp on at Handyman Connection of Mountain View is organization. This will be key in maximizing your storage space, and creating storage space in areas you may not had thought of. A fun way to stay organized is through your spice containers. One of our favorite ways to organize the containers is to attach magnetic strips on the back of them and place them on the refrigerator, range hood, or other magnetic areas around the kitchen. This allows for easy access and a lack of clutter in drawers or cabinets.
