Containers and compartments

To get rid of chaos once and for all, you need to learn to group things into categories instead of just putting them anywhere. In this case, all items will always be in their place and will be easy to find.

Using various containers, trays, and baskets is the best way to accomplish this task. You can divide your kitchen cabinet into sections and put plastic or cardboard boxes of different sizes in them.

You can store anything in these compartments, from household chemicals to various kitchen small items.

Office supplies to the rescue

Who said that office supplies can only be useful in the office? Vertical document trays will be an excellent storage for frying pans or glass lids. This design will not take up much space, and it will be much more convenient to store kitchen utensils.

In addition, when storing lids in such an individual “box”, they will be less likely to scratch, which means they will last much longer.

Hooks or hangers

There is always a lot of empty space inside the cabinets, which can be made quite functional. To do this, buy hooks for keys or a regular wire hanger for the hallway. Now you can always place your measuring spoons, spring balance, vegetable peeler and other small items inside the cabinet.

The hooks can also be attached to the door or side surface of the kitchen unit. The only thing to remember is not to overload the visible space with small details, otherwise the kitchen will look untidy.

Narrow pull-out cabinet

When there is very little space in the kitchen, a narrow pull-out rack will come to the rescue. You can easily make such a design yourself or buy a ready-made version.

Rails under the sink

The space under the sink is either not used at all or resembles a storage area for junk. Try fixing the rail between the side walls of the cabinet.

Such a useful gadget will help to significantly optimize the space. You can place a spray bottle of cleaning product on it, or hang baskets for rags or sponges.

Storing spices on the door

To keep spices from taking up precious space in the cabinet, you can hang them on the cabinet door. All we need is special plastic clips, which can be bought at any plumbing store.

Vertical storage systems

As practice has shown, many items take up much less space when stored vertically, so by installing special organizers and containers, you can use the available space more rationally.

Clothespins for rubber gloves

Ordinary clothespins glued to the cabinet door will help you forget about the problem of where to find rubber gloves forever.

You can also hang rags, napkins or other household utensils on the clothespins.

Closet to the ceiling

If you have decided on radical changes and want to completely replace the kitchen set, then it is best to choose a model in which the upper cabinets will reach the ceiling. Since many people have a bad habit of putting unused things on the cabinet. Over time, it turns into a small garbage collector.

Using closed tall cabinets will allow you to hide all the unnecessary. In addition, you will have additional storage space.

If you do not plan to buy a cabinet, you can put identical boxes or designer baskets on the cabinets.

Square jars for cereals

For storing bulk products, such as cereals, you can take identical square glass jars. Firstly, all the contents of such jars will be visible, which will allow you to immediately find what you need, and secondly, identical containers always look neater.

In addition, by giving preference to square jars, you will save some space, since they fit on the shelf much more compactly than round ones.
