The kitchen is arguably the busiest area in your entire home, and by busy, we mean that it may be so full of items that it’s crowded and hard to work in. Trying to squeeze in as much extra storage out of a small or filled-to-the-brim kitchen is tricky to do, but it’s not impossible. Handyman Connection® of South Shore discusses this further.
Creating More Cabinet Space
You can create more cabinet space for your kitchen utensils by mounting a pegboard and using it to hang all of your essentials. Stackable shelves are also a good option since they force you to be more orderly when putting your utensils and china away. Metal stackable shelves and pegboards are ideal, even if the cabinet is made of wood since they are sturdier and easier to install.
We also recommend installing a tension rod in your lower cabinet where you can hang your spray bottles. The lower cabinet tends to be very messy, and the simple act of affixing an area for your other kitchenware can make it less cluttered and crowded.
Maximize the Space Above Your Cabinet
The space above the cabinet area is a forgettable part of the kitchen that you can use as a storage area for all of your other kitchen essentials, such as cook books, bottles of wines or any other knick-knacks you can’t find room for anywhere else. To keep your things secure, we recommend putting these items in baskets when placing them above your cabinet.
Extra Counter Space
You don’t necessarily have to purchase an extra countertop to add some extra space into your kitchen. Adding a bar-height table next to your main kitchen area will suffice. It acts as an extra counter space, extra storage space or even a place where you can dine with your friends and loved ones in your kitchen.
