15 Kitchen Cabinet Space Saver Ideas
1. Magnetic knife rack
One of my favourite methods to clear up counter area is a magnetic knife rack as a substitute of a block. Not solely do you exchange the necessity for a giant knife block, however you’ve gotten tremendous quick access to your knives. I really like you can dangle them to dry! We are nonetheless TBD if we’re going to place our magnetic strip again up post-reno or go together with a knife drawer with a particular insert. In is dependent upon if we have to prioritize the drawer for one thing else.
2. Organizing Kitchen Utensils
We have our most used kitchen utensils in a crock on the countertop, as I’m positive most of you do. (This holder is SO fairly!) I like a holder with a large opening so the utensils fall out as a substitute of up. This picket one is attractive too.
And then the less-used bunch, together with the smaller ones like a garlic press or pizza cutter, go right into a drawer with steel dividers or a huge organizer with sections like this. I do know the place every part is so there may be by no means rummaging round to seek out one thing!
3. Use dividers for pots and pans
Caraway Home sends dividers along with your set which can be nice to retailer pots and pans vertical on their sides – both in a decrease cupboard shelf or in a deep drawer. Using a divider is a good way to keep away from stacking pans so you must transfer them to take out the decrease bunch. You can DIY one with a peg board like this!
4. Utilize lazy susans for pantry
I really like a lazy susan turntable that spins for olive oils and vinegars or spices. We have a number of in our pantry!
5. Add shelf risers to maximise vertical area
Shelf risers for spice storage, ingesting glasses, or something that’s half the peak of your cupboard. We used some shelf risers for our ingesting glasses that I purchased at IKEA years in the past (this one may be very comparable). We used the in our pantry too (see photograph above). These picket ones are lovely for plates!
There are additionally nice under-the-shelf attachments like these lovely ones from West Elm. And I’ll undoubtedly be including a water bottle holder now that I do know these exist!
6. Spice risers
You may also use the smaller tiered shelf risers for spice storage so you possibly can extra simply see what’s hiding within the again. We have a few of these in our rental cottage and the bottom expands to suit the width of your kitchen cupboard.
7. Add open cabinets
If you’ve gotten wall area, including open cabinets or perhaps a huge rack like we’ve got on the rental cottage is a good way to maximise wall area! Add hooks on the bottom of cabinets or a rack to hold mugs. I’m LOVING having our ingesting glasses really easy to succeed in and plan to do one thing comparable with open cabinets in our new kitchen.
8. Plate storage
Drawer dividers can be utilized for every part from dividing dinner plates in a deep drawer to holding your flatware. You can have customized ones made, purchase free-standing ones like these or adjustable peg boards, or shelf equipment like this.
You may also use baskets or holders you already personal to divide issues – like this submit of mason jar storage concepts! We use mason jars to carry corn holders : )
9. Add hooks all over the place
One of my favourite kitchen storage concepts: hooks all over the place! From hooks on the again of your below the sink cupboards to carry cleansing gloves or dangle a dish rag to hooks below the cupboards for mugs to a giant paper towel holder “hook” to get the paper towels off the counter, hooks a good way to clear your counter tops!
If you don’t wish to add hooks or are in a rental, an over-the-door organizer like this is another choice.
10. Use divided lazy susans below the sink
Acrylic lazy susans are my favourite storage answer for below the sink. They can maintain sponges, dish cleaning soap, countertop cleaner, and extra all in its personal spot. Make positive you’ve gotten a sponge holder inside your sink too! Then you don’t have to have a look at it in your countertop.
11. Vertical storage for sheet pans and slicing boards
If you don’t have it constructed you, you should purchase steel racks that can assist you arrange like this beautiful white one! Your cupboard design will possible dictate the peak you possibly can match, however you will get artistic with the place and the way you employ these.
12. Food storage
An avalanche of meals storage containers is everybody’s worst nightmare. My finest kitchen group answer for that is to purchase a uniform set that nests and eliminate something that doesn’t match.
We purchased this set final summer season and I really like that there are solely two sizes: small and enormous. I preserve the lids saved vertically in a bit of picket container, or you may get one thing fairly like this!
Any further tupperware goes in an out-of-the-way place (like over the fridge) for less-used occasions like Thanksgiving.
13. Organizing child stuff
We have one drawer devoted to youngsters stuff, though that drawer is rapidly shrinking as Birch has grown out of bibs and sippy cups! But throughout our peak child section, I had 4 smaller dividers in a single deep drawer that sorted issues like bibs from all of the sippy cups and lids.
14. Baskets
Baskets are the reply for every part within the organizing world! Have a messy pile of mail? Make it look neat in a basket. Have a ton of additional tupperware? Hide it on prime of the cupboards in a basket. Storing material napkins? Roll them in a basket! (This set is nice for a kitchen.)
Baskets are often light-weight sufficient retailer issues up excessive you can deliver down once you want (like popsicle molds!) and fairly sufficient to be seen on the counter tops too.
15. Kitchen island storage
Planning for a kitchen island was prime precedence for our renovation plans due to all the cupboard and drawer storage it provides. I do know it’s not one thing everybody can simply add on a whim, however in case you are re-doing a kitchen, it’s the quickest technique to double your decrease storage and workspace. In ours we’re planning a separate recycling pull-out and deep drawers for our on a regular basis dishes. Plus a cubby for the microwave in order that gained’t should be out on the counter tops.
