If you have a small kitchen, you may find it difficult to find a space for everything you want to store, especially if you enjoy experimenting with recipes or whipping up a cake every now and then. We’ve put together a few of our favourite storage ideas to help you get the most out of the space you have.
Utilise the Insides of Cupboard Doors
Make sure your cupboard is well-organised, but have you thought about adding extra storage space by utilising the inside of the door? You can attach hooks to hang utensils, use a magnetic board to stick metal storage tins, or fix magazine folders to the insides of cupboard doors to create more storage space.
Extend Your Shelves with Wire Racks
If you have shelves with empty space above whatever you’re storing, you could invest in some wire racks to stack, giving you even more storage space in the storage you already have. This can help you optimise your storage area and make the most of the available space, especially for items that can be stacked or placed vertically. Wire racks are a practical and affordable solution to maximise your storage capacity while keeping your items organised and easily accessible.
Use Ceiling Storage
Pots and pans can really clutter up the kitchen, taking up a lot of valuable space. That’s why it’s so helpful to use a rack that can be mounted on the wall or hung from the ceiling to keep them out of the way. This way, they are easily accessible while staying neatly organised and not taking up valuable space in your kitchen.
Extend Your Fridge and Freezer Space
One simple way to maximise storage space in your fridge and freezer is by using plastic magazine folders to create additional shelving. By stacking the folders on top of each other, you can separate and store different food items without them touching, thus making more efficient use of the available space.
Use Jars Instead of Packaging
Consider transferring dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, rice, and pasta from their bulky plastic and cardboard packaging to airtight jars or plastic tubs. This not only saves space in your kitchen but also helps in keeping your ingredients fresh for a longer time. Be sure to attach clear labels to each container so that you can easily identify the contents and note down the use-by date. This simple organising tip can make your kitchen more efficient and visually appealing.
