How to triply increase storage capacity in your kitchen with just a few simple steps.
My story begins with a common problem; cluttered and cramped kitchen storage.
Frustratingly, navigating around the limited space is often fruitless and, for those of us with creative minds, it can almost seem impossible to find extra storage solutions!
Good news - all hope is not lost. I’m here to tell you that within minutes, you can triply increase storage capacity in your kitchen with just a few simple steps.
Firstly, unlock hidden cupboard space by installing shelves. These shelves may be open or drawers and they will slide out much like a filing cabinet or old-fashioned bookcase. This way you’ll instantly gain extra space without sacrificing floor area!
Secondly, create clever hook systems on the back of cupboard doors so utensils keep them organized but still within reach on the inner cupboard wall. Alternatively, stick cleaver magnetic bars in strategic spots to hold everything from baking tins and mixing bowls neatly whilst still remaining accessible if needed.
Thirdly, maximize unused walls by affixing tempered glass containers filled with your favourite snacks or spices from the ceiling! They’ll provide ample space for an array of items as well as being evidence as an effective decoration for your home too - plus it means reaching for what you need is even easier!
Hanging mugs from hooks
Organizing your mug collection can be fun. With the help of some aesthetically pleasing mug storage solutions, your collection can be displayed in style. The best part is, you don't have to do any heavy lifting.
A stacked block mug tree is a simple and effective way to store your favourite mugs. It's also a great way to add a bit of a rustic look to your kitchen. This simple display takes up minimal space and blends in nicely with your existing decor.
You can use your kitchen cabinets to store mugs. Use a few simple hooks mounted beneath your cupboards to keep your mugs off the counter.
For more organized mug storage, consider a wall-mounted coffee cup holder. If you are short on space in your kitchen, this will allow you to display your mugs while still having room to prepare and drink your morning cup of Joe.
Wall-mounted open shelving
There are many ways to organize your kitchen shelves, including using the right wall-mounted open shelving. Open shelving offers a great way to store your dishes and utensils while also adding a dash of style to your space. However, it's important to consider what items you want to display. For instance, if you are looking for an elegant finish, you may prefer to stick with a classic plate shelf.
If you're looking for a more practical solution, you can go with floating wood shelves. They will provide you with a lot of storage space without taking up much floor space. These floating shelves can be purchased at home improvement stores.
Another option is using a prefab shelving unit. You can find units made from metal or glass. A prefab unit will come with a number of built-in features that will make your shelving a breeze to install.
Drawer dividers
Organizing your kitchen drawers is a great way to get things organized and easy to find. It will also make your drawers look better. Drawer dividers and jars can be used for all kinds of different items, including spices, paper clips, and utensils.
The first thing you need to do is determine what your drawers are filled with. This can be done by sketching out the drawers. If you have a lot of little things, you may want to purchase a set of organizers or bins.
If your drawers are filled with large, flat items, a tall drawer divider can help. These can be purchased in various sizes. They will prevent damage to these items.
Another type of divider is the one that allows you to create your own compartments. You can place items in this way, such as spices, chopping boards, and knife blocks.
Hanging glasses from the ceiling
Using the ceiling to store your wine glasses is an oldie but a goodie. They look great and will help you keep your glasses from getting smashed or misplaced. You can put one up above your kitchen island or even below your overhead cabinet. Hanging racks are easy to install and are a great way to keep your glasses off the floor and out of the way.
Keeping your glasses out of the way isn't the only thing you can do to maximize your kitchen's available space. If you have wall space, you can install a wine glass rack, or you can hang a shelf on the back of a wall. Having one can also add symmetry to your space. And if you are using the same glassware, you'll be able to easily find what you need without wasting a lot of time searching through your cabinet.
Decluttering
Decluttering kitchen shelves is a great way to get rid of unwanted clutter. It can be a fun and satisfying activity for the whole family. But before you can begin, you have to decide how to go about it.
The best approach for decluttering your kitchen depends on the size and number of items. If you have a large kitchen, you may want to take a few days to clear it out. You could also choose to declutter only certain areas at a time.
Some people like to keep everything in order. However, this can be a difficult task. You should be willing to let go of any items that are no longer in use.
Rather than dumping the entire contents of your cupboards into a single bin, try organizing them by type and size. This will make it easier for you to find things when you need them.

Planning a kitchen renovation?
There are many options, whether you are renovating an existing space or creating a new dream kitchen.
Spend some time looking for inspiration online before you start. Find inspiration from photos of kitchens. Make notes about design ideas. Next, take some notes and use a pen and paper to determine exactly where each element should be placed.
Now think of ways to improve upon these spaces. What would you do differently? What would you add? Ask someone who is an expert in your field to help you get creative.
It's time for you to begin once you've decided what you want. Start with the basics. Get rid of any extra clutter. Remove appliances that aren't used often. Replace worn-out fixtures by newer versions
Next, you need to find areas in your kitchen where storage is limited. This is where storage or countertops are not possible. Think about how you can maximize those spots. Perhaps you could turn them into wine cellars and pantries.
Don't forget to consider lighting. Do you have a place that would benefit from brighter lighting? Perhaps a wall sconce would help brighten up a dark corner.
After you have made your list of improvements it is time to start the fun part: implementing them.
Don't be discouraged if you don’t know everything the first time. You can just keep going until you have it all figured. Don't forget to enjoy it every day!

White kitchens are already popular among homeowners who want to create a modern look for their homes. This trend has been growing since 1980s when white kitchen cabinets began to be used by designers. White kitchens remain a hot trend in interior design today.
