Solution #1: Creating More Cabinet Space
Cabinets are often times designed in a way that creates a lot of wasted vertical space. In order to best utilize this space and still have your items visible, try this bundle of products!
Starting from left to right: (Clickable Links)
Cabinet Shelving: Rather than having to spread your glasses and mugs across multiple shelves, keeping your plates in a tough-to-reach area, or finding yourself donating nice pieces because they simply don’t fit… look no further! Placing these in every shelf you have will DOUBLE the space you can work with. (There are many varieties of these types of shelving that match your kitchen and desires).
Under Shelf Basket: These are amazing and incredibly purposeful for your Tupperware, ziplocks and foils, extra food items…. you name, you can store it! (if it fits of course). Hooking under any of your shelves, we are again, doubling the space you have to work with.
Spray Bottle Holder: Use the adhesive on these hooks to secure them inside your kitchen sink cabinet doors and create more space on the floor of the cabinet! Not to mention…. these make for quick grab n’ go anytime you have a mess to clean!
Solution #2: Clearing Your Countertops
The key to feeling like you have a fresh and clean space is minimizing clutter, especially where the eye can see! Your countertops can be functional while still looking minimalistic.
It is important to call out that these items are for things that belong on the counters! Getting other unnecessary items concealed will require some reworking in the unseen areas - as you can improve from other items in this article!
Sponge Holder: Suction this to the inside of your sink to get it off your counter, and make for appropriate drying!
Paper Towel Holder: If you are constantly moving your paper towel holder to clean, find that splatters of food and drink get onto your paper towels, and want to make more counter space for cooking and prepping - these adhesive paper towel holders fit on your cabinet doors or under your cabinets!
Rolling Drying Rack: This lays nicely across your sink when you need it, and rolls to store easily under your sink when you aren’t! Simple!
Solution #3: Pantry Essentials
If your pantry is feeling like a black hole of opened bags, pastas falling all over each other, and spices you can’t see. Or if you are simply looking for an aesthetically appealing and inviting space, then grab these items and put em to use!
Stacking Food Bins: Remember our vertical space! Pantries typically create so much wasted space and stacking your smaller food items (such as bars, oatmeal packs, packaged snacks, cans, etc.) can help best utilize it. This pack comes with a variety of sizes and 8 pieces! It is a steal!!
Lazy Susan: We have talked about these before, but they are SO important and valuable for full visibility of your spices, sauces, oils and vinegars. These are compact enough to fit in about any cabinet or fridge! You can even place them on the counter for your most used items.
Glass Storage Jars: These are very good looking options for decanting your pastas, grains, and flours! The structured shape removes bulky packaging and slumpy-ness of items stored in bags. There are many variations of these products, so shop around!
The beauty in organizing a kitchen is that every space is different! There are so many products on the market that are low on cost and create great function with lovely aesthetic. Finding your unique style, while suiting your exact needs is what it is all about! I always love hearing your experiences - so try it out and let me know how you do!
