Our Simple Kitchen Storage Solutions

Do you find yourself struggling to find space in your kitchen? Are your cabinets bursting open or your counters constantly cluttered? Whether you have a small kitchen or you’re trying to find more space in the heart of your home, follow these simple kitchen storage solutions.

How do I get more storage in my kitchen?

When you have reduced space, you need to optimise every inch of your kitchen. Make the most of your empty walls by moving your spices out of the cupboard and onto a wall-mounted spice rack. This will free up some space in your cupboard for other items.

Another way to utilise more wall space is by putting your kitchen items on display. Clear your plates, bowls, cups, and glasses out of your cupboards and store them neatly on a shelf along with some flowers or decorative lights. This way you can create an aesthetic, stylish kitchen while also clearing out more storage space!

How can I organise my small kitchen?

With a small kitchen, finding storage space can be a huge problem. Not just for your daily tasks, it can also be a real issue if you want to host a party or cook a Christmas dinner for your family. That’s why it’s essential we make the most of every inch of space that is available.

Try swapping out awkward packaging for air-tight food containers. Their uniform shape will make it much easier to stack and store your favourite food items, maximising the usefulness of your whole cupboard. With this, you can use a label maker or write on stickers to identify each item and its expiration date.

For additional hidden organisation, trying using organisers with hooks which can be placed on the inside of your cupboard doors. This works great for the cupboards under the kitchen sink, where you can store sponges, scour pads and washing-up liquid instead of keeping them out and cluttering your kitchen counters.

How can I maximise my kitchen counter space?

When you have little space, it’s easy for clutter to look like it’s out of control. Even taking small measures can make a dramatic difference to the look of your kitchen. Make sure you only keep your most essential kitchen tools and utensils out and put the rest of them away.

Creating tiers and levels are a fantastic way to add more storage space to your kitchen counters. With a simple shelf riser, you can put your favourite items underneath the riser, as well as on top of it. With so many designs out there, you’re sure to find a style that suits you.

Your backsplash and walls are a great area of blank space that is just waiting to be utilised. Try installing a bar underneath your cupboards or on empty wall space then hang cups or utensils from them. Not only will this save some space that may have been taken up by utensils containers, but it also provides convenient access to your essential tools for while you’re cooking!

Alternatively, you can hang baskets up in this space which will contain even more items. This is a great option for adding a little more décor to your kitchen as well. You can alternate one basket for utensils while the one next to it can be filled with flowers. Fantastic for creating a rustic feel to your small kitchen!

If you still find yourself running out of space, try using stove cover plates. With this, you are essentially transforming your cooker into an extra countertop. This option is perfect if you’re hosting several guests for example. If you’ve finished cooking or if you simply don’t need to use your hob, you can utilise this space for something more essential like serving food or drinks.

There is a wonderful range of stove cover plates and you’re sure to find a style which suits your kitchen. Try a marble look cover plate for a splash of class and a fancy upgrade to your kitchen counters or, for a more traditional and rustic appearance, a wooden stove cover is a perfect choice.

How can I organise my kitchen cabinets?

A fantastic way to maximise your kitchen cabinet storage space is to use a shelf riser or a plate organiser. Instead of spreading your kitchen crockery out horizontally, try stacking more of it vertically.

If you liked our previous tip of using shelf risers to clear your countertops, try using them in your cabinets as well. This way you are essentially adding a shelf without the hassle of installing a new shelf. They are also portable, so if you want to have a reshuffle of your kitchen items, you can add the risers anywhere you want!

Another tip for organising your kitchen cabinets is to try a plate organiser. With one of these, you can stack your plates easily and take whatever crockery you need without having to shuffle everything around. This is a great option for people who may struggle to lift things, such as elderly people or people living with mobility issues.
