How to Add More Storage Space to Your Kitchen

It seems you can never have too much storage space in a kitchen. Even the largest kitchens are likely to lack enough space to store your pots, pans, and dried goods. What can you do to expand the space you have? Let’s take a look.

Add a Pot Rack

A pot rack can hang from the ceiling and immediately free up plenty of under-counter space. Hang your pots and pans from the rack and they’ll be within easy reach while also looking decorative. You may be tempted to go get new pots just to show them off this way.

Add a Stemware Rack

You may notice a theme here, but it’s helpful to install a stemware rack where you can store your wine glasses and other stemware from under the cupboard. This gives you more space inside the cupboard and also protects the delicate stemware from breaking.

Buy a Kitchen Cart

These simple little carts are usually topped with a butcher block or stainless-steel top where you can chop items. They have storage underneath and can be tucked away in a corner when you don’t need the extra counter space. Store some of your more useful kitchen tools under the cart and you can grab them whenever necessary.

Slide Your Shelves Out

If you’re like most people, the items placed at the back of the shelves in your cupboards, particularly the lower ones, are never seen again. You may find it difficult to reach things at the back because it’s so deep inside. However, if you install rolling shelves, it instantly becomes so much easier to reach everything. It’s essentially returning your cupboard space to you.

Install Hooks

You can use hooks to store everything from cutting boards to towels and everything in between. They’re useful and can be placed in any little space where you can decoratively hang items to store them.

Make Use of Upper Levels

The space above your upper cupboards may just be used for holding decorative tins or plants, but why not use it for the items you don’t want to get rid of? If you have kitchen appliances that aren’t used all the time, but still need to be kept around, this is the perfect place for them. You can also store extra pasta and rice in decorative tins for when you run out of the regular ones in the pantry.
