All you need is a little creativity and maybe a little help from a professional such as Alair Homes Rosedale Toronto.

Here are 7 ways to get the most of out of your kitchen storage space.

1. Invest in a drawer

You don’t need several drawers as this will also take up more space. Put a drawer in another drawer. This drawer should be easy to pull. You can use one part of the drawer to store utensils, and other cutlery used for special occasions and use the other area for storing cutlery that you use on a regular basis.

2. Get a pot and pan organizer

Pots and pans can take up valuable space. You can invest in an organizer that helps you store these items. You don’t have to try hard to fix them into cabinets that they don’t fit into properly. The beauty is that you can quickly set up an organizer alone.

3. Use the space above the counter

This is an innovative way to increase storage space in your cooking area. You could have stylish cabinets installed above the counter which will match your décor. If you are in Toronto, you could even have them built to suit your taste by a custom home builder or renovator such as Alair Homes Toronto Rosedale. The good thing about custom cabinets is that you can have them in specific measurements or style that will be most suitable for your needs.

4. Go Vertical

When every kitchen space is utilized, you can reach high to the ceiling and build cabinets vertically. This area will be ideal for storage of items that you occasionally use like baking trays, holiday utensils, and cutlery. You will also need a stool to help you access the elements of these cabinets because usually, they are above your reach.

5. Cabinet for pull out trash can

Trash can take valuable storage space. The secret is to convert a cabinet that you can fix the trash can. It has to be a cabinet that’s not hidden because you need to access the can frequently.

6. Use your wall

Many people don’t think they can use their walls for kitchen storage. People shy away from using this kind of storage because they may not have wonderful cooking tools and items to show off. Make it more appealing by incorporating attractive designs.

7. Improvise old items

You can easily use an old closet door for hanging items that are light and those that you use frequently. Get a spot that is accessible and stable and place the closet door strategically.
