Although they enhance the elegance of your kitchen décor, kitchen cabinets are essentially storage spaces for organizing your kitchen. However, even when it feels like you are doing your best to utilize your kitchen cabinet space, you may find that your kitchen is still messy and disorganized, especially if you have a small kitchen. Therefore, you must find the proper way to utilize your kitchen cabinets so that they can live up to their potential of making your kitchen neat and organized.
Top 5 Ways to Maximize Kitchen Cabinet Space
Maximizing your kitchen cabinet space will prevent your dishes and cups from tumbling out whenever you open a kitchen cabinet and generally help avoid clutter. The following are tips to help you squeeze out more kitchen cabinet space and ensure a neater and better-organized kitchen.
1. Tension Rods
Tension rods are an organizational tool that you can use to get the most out of your kitchen cabinet. Under the sink, they are used as a place to hang things like towels and kitchen supplies. By arranging tension rods vertically, you can also keep things like cooling racks, cutting boards, and baking sheets organized. Putting tension rods in your cabinet will help you secure valuable cabinet space that you can use to store other things.
2. Cabinet Doors
The inside of your cabinet door is another way to maximize your kitchen cabinet space. It has many possibilities for storage, which can ease up more space in your cabinet. For instance, you can have hooks installed into your cabinet doors to hang your pans, spoons, lids, and more. You may also choose to attach a slim rack to a cabinet door for stashing away plastic wrap, pot lids, or foil boxes.
3. Shelves
There are only so many dishes and pantry items that a cabinet can take before they begin to get messy and disorganized, because most cabinets never seem to have enough permanent shelves. Therefore, to get more storage space you might want to add pullout pantry shelves or wire baskets that hang just below a shelf. This tactic will help you get more space out of your cabinets, which you can use to store more dishes.
4. Food Containers
Food items can take a lot of valuable space from your kitchen cabinet that might otherwise be used for storing other kitchen things. To help maximize your already limited cabinet space, you might want to make use of stackable containers for your food items to save extra space and create an even neater look. Food containers come in various shapes and sizes and can also be stacked, so they are a perfect way to maximize kitchen cabinet space.
5. Bottom & Sides of Cabinets
You can get more storage space from your kitchen cabinets when you utiliize their sides and bottoms. You can add hooks to the undersides of cabinets to hold cups, mugs, and small tools. The sides of cabinets also make for great storage places for shelves, hooks, storage racks, and many more. Making use of the bottom and sides of your cabinets will ensure that no space gets wasted.
