Open shelving is a great way to open up any space and tie in your décor aesthetic in an organized, convenient way. Try displaying your pretty serving pieces, antique dishes, or funky glasses on floating shelves. For less attractive or less-used items, hide them away in a decorative box or basket.
2. Store Dry Ingredients in Glass Jars
Everyone’s spice cabinet could use some TLC, and this DIY project will help with that. Use matching glass jars or transparent containers to store everything from spices and pasta to baking ingredients and cereal. This will help you save space, and it keeps everything organized and tidy. Plus, add decorative labels for the ultimate upgrade.
3. Utilize Your Vertical Space
If you are tight for storage space, take advantage of the vertical space in your kitchen. Coat hangers or towel racks with hooks are perfect additions for hanging bags of fruit, dishtowels, oven mitts, or pots and pans.
4. Repurpose Office Organizers in Your Kitchen
Organizing does not stop at the office! Utilize office organizers in your kitchen to help you declutter and stay tidy. A file organizer is perfect to store baking sheets, cutting boards, and cooling trays. Plus, flip it vertically to store pots, pans, and lids. Add clear or decorative boxes for snacks and cans. Finally, incorporate a lazy susan in the corner of your pantry for easy access to all your sauces, cans, and oils.
5. Make Use of Every Inch of Space
The cabinet below your sink has lots of storage potential that goes to waste. Take advantage of this large cabinet by adding a tension rod to hang spray bottles and shelving inserts to stack items. As well, attaching plastic trays to the cabinet doors creates even more storage space to hold dish soaps, sponges, trash bags, and more.
