Maximizing your kitchen storage

Maximizing your kitchen storage space is a great way to achieve kitchen improvement without spending too much money or making too many changes. Try using some of the following tips for your project:

Clear away unused items - if something contributes no more than clutter to your kitchen, then store it away.
Make use of the ceiling – hanging things from the ceiling makes them accessible, yet also out of the way when they are not needed. For example, pot plants, vases and flowers, spatulas and pots are all things that can be hung over the worktop area or island for a decorative look and efficient feel.
Take advantage of your walls – install wall mounted shelves or a piece of lattice to place your extra items on. Not only are they a cheap and simple solution, but they are also highly decorative in that you can use them to show of your most unique or colorful pieces, such as platters and tea sets.
Break up your cabinets – cabinets are usually feet deep and end up a holder for a pile of unattainable items that we end up forgetting about as a result. Break them down into smaller units to achieve maximum convenience. This can be done by:
- Installing roll-out drawers and shelves – easy to install, even the deepest item will be easily reached.
- Installing under-cabinet appliances
Use your floor space – if you cannot fit a new island, then buy a serving kart or work trolley for mobility and added work space.


	Tricky to fill spaces such as corner cupboards have a simple space-saving solution – simply install a pull-out cantilevered tray, and your kitchen improvement will have taken a whole new form!
