Custom Pillows For Personalized Decorative Experience

Ask any woman what she’d want in a redesigned kitchen. Most, about ninety-nine out of a hundred, would immediately respond, “More storage!” It may not be the right time for you to undertake a complete remodel, but there are many easy options for adding storage to you kitchen.

When faced with storage issues in your kitchen, a good place to start is with your cluttered cabinets. Get rid of all that stuff you don’t use anymore!  Then you’ll be able to free up all kinds of space. Whether you choose to weed out those cabinets or not, following are a few other places where you may be able to create more storage options.

Look to the Ceiling
Do pots and pans take up an incredible amount of your kitchen space?  Consider getting them out of the cabinet and hanging them up. Try this simple, inexpensive idea for hanging cookware:

Locate a unused window—it can be new or old—and attach “U” bolds or eyebolts to all four corners of the window. Hang the window from secure ceiling joists, using eyebolts, “S” hooks and chains. Next attach plain or fancy towel bars to the edges of the window.  Now you can use “S” hooks to hang pots, herbs or utensils from the bars.

Conveniently, you can also turn the window into a display shelf for collectibles or plants. You can easily transform this space into a more decorative piece by hanging wire baskets, bundled herbs to dry or other colorful displays. You might even want to try tying colorful colanders together and hanging them as a place to store fruits and vegetables. Some people actually will store table goods here, such as napkins, knives, forks, spoons and rolled-up hand towels, which are sometimes used as placemats.

Take Advantage of Available Wall Space
Nail a piece of lattice or a pre-made trellis to the kitchen wall to create a unique space to hang utensils, pots and pans, dish towels or oven mitts. It’s fun to imagine all the options available here!

Try adding shelves to your walls to create space. Shelves are practical and inexpensive, and they add much-needed storage space to any area. An open shelf is a wonderful ppace to show off those favorite teapots, pitchers or platters that have been hiding in your cabinets. So dig through those cabinets.  I’m sure you’ll find many pieces that will add interest and color to your kitchen.

Rework Your Cabinets
Do you have large base cabinets that seem to collect clutter?  Then here is a simple solution for you. Base cabinets, after all, are really nothing more than big boxes. The depth of these cabinets, in fact, is usually a whopping two feet. It’s no wonder, then, that we constantly find ourselves on our hands and knees, searching for something way in the back. Although meant for base cabinet woes, these tips can also be helpful when you go to tackle those smaller cabinets.
