10 Kitchen Storage Spaces You Didn't Know About or Forgot

When there is a catastrophic lack of storage space on the kitchen, you have to resort to the most unconventional solutions. What will it be this time: a railing above the kitchen sink or built-in shelves above the refrigerator? The main thing is to accommodate all the dishes and kitchen utensils. 

1. On the Side of Cabinets

Does the side of your kitchen cabinet unit go unused? Why not make it useful? You just need to attach small shelves or baskets to the side of the cabinet. It's inconvenient to store items you use regularly there, but it's perfect for stacking cookbooks and small items. 

2. Shelves Under Upper Cabinets

For those who want to increase the storage capacity of their kitchen, we recommend attaching additional shelves under upper kitchen cabinets. Just remember that there should be enough space underneath for this storage to be effective. 

3. Additional Hooks on Shelves

To store cups conveniently, attach a few hooks to the bottom of shelves or kitchen cabinets. Just make sure they are not too close together so that the dishes don't interfere with each other. 

4. Railing with Hooks Above the Sink

Here’s an idea of 2 in 1: hang a railing with hooks above the sink and hang kitchen utensils or even pans here. This way, you’ll have not only new storage space but also a mini-drying rack. 

5. Above the Refrigerator

Usually, the area above the refrigerator is always empty. But you can use it for additional shelves, built-in shelving, or a wine cabinet. Take a look at this option!

6. Corner Shelves

Where there's no space for bulky cabinets, suspended shelves come to the rescue. They can fit even in the most awkward corner of your kitchen. Now you have a convenient place to store beautiful dishes, microwave ovens, and decorations. 

7. Inside the Cabinet Door

Attach a magnetic or cork board to the inside of cabinet doors. You can store lightweight household items (e.g., measuring spoons), children's sweets, and notes that you don't always want to leave in plain sight. 

8. Additional Stand with Hooks

You can organize a convenient open storage system on an empty wall. It’s not difficult to create: all you need is a perforated metal sheet, hooks, and small baskets that are easy to find at IKEA.

9. Shelf by the Window

It turns out that the kitchen window can also serve as a good and compact storage space. Simply attach a shelf to the frame. You can arrange cookbooks or dishes on it. 

10. In Baskets on Cabinets

Are your upper cabinets empty? That’s an ideal spot for storage. To avoid a messy look, use woven, metal, and wooden baskets. For more convenient use, you can label them.
