Additional space: 6 non-standard storage places in the kitchen
Even in the smallest kitchen, there is enough space for all things and accessories, if you approach the issue of storage wisely. We have collected 6 original ideas for organizing space that will help you compactly place everything you need in the kitchen.
Near the window
In most cases, the windows in the kitchen are practically not used for storage, not counting several flower pots standing on the windowsills. But if you want to organize the kitchen space as efficiently as possible, fasten several shelves to the wide window slopes or directly across the window itself. Also, a small rack is suitable for this purpose. The main thing is that the selected devices do not completely block the window, because otherwise the daylight will practically not enter the kitchen.
On the walls of cabinets
For the external surfaces of hanging kitchen cabinets, you can also come up with a practical application. For example, put metal baskets for various utensils at the top, fix small racks for spices on the side surfaces, and use the lower part for hooks on which it will be convenient to hang cups, shovels, ladles and other accessories. If there is a lot of free space inside the cabinet, then a magnetic sheet or hooks can be fixed on its door to make it more convenient to store the lids.
Over the sink
It is most profitable to hang another cabinet on the wall above the sink, because it will be convenient to fold the dishes into it directly during washing. But if you already have such a cabinet, then the space between it and the sink can be occupied by roof rails. It is easy to hang several hooks on them and use them for mugs, pans, a colander and other kitchen utensils.
Over the fridge
If your refrigerator is not too high, then you can put on it a rack or shelf for storing jars with winter blanks, rarely used items and small household appliances. By the way, such large appliances as a crock-pot can be located on the refrigerator even without additional fasteners.
In the corner
Many owners forget about corners, although they can be no less useful than regular walls. Therefore, the most logical and useful solution would be to place a corner shelf there, which, by the way, can contain as many things as an ordinary one. At the same time, such a shelf takes up little space and looks stylish.
On the wall
On the wall or any other horizontal surface in the kitchen you can always fasten roof rails, hooks or shelves. All these devices are suitable for storing towels (including paper), detergents, jars, spices and other necessary things. The main thing is to choose a place for fastening that will be convenient to reach. If you have a transforming chair that easily turns into a small stepladder, then you can choose any place to place rails and shelves. This storage method will allow you to use almost any available wall section in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, especially the small one, you need to effectively use literally every centimeter of space. And now you know how to do it best. Try to use the tips suggested in this article exactly as they are described, or adapt them for yourself.
