No one ever has enough kitchen storage or counter space. Literally, no one. So if your kitchen is relegated to, say, just a few cabinets in the corner of a room, you likely really feel the stress of figuring out how to make everything work. You need to combine storage with smart displays and the right hues to find that perfect balance between the two. There are plenty of ways in which you can expand your kitchen storage options. Some like the glass-door cabinets and open shelves provide more transparency and create a light, cheerful atmosphere. Others like the cabinets with wooden doors and kitchen island units place practicality ahead of aesthetics.

 

1. Hang a pegboard.

They can be easily integrated with your existing kitchen shelves by using similar doors and a lazy susan at the bottom of it should make it a whole lot more flexible. You can even earmark drawers for specific items to make the storage lot more organized. (Think: pots, pans, and even canisters that can hold utensils.) Instead of hanging a couple of more limiting shelves, try a pegboard, which adds very flexible storage space that can be adjusted over time as your needs change.

2. Slim Pantry Ideas.

We love the idea of the slim pantry that slides out of the wall with ease. Modern storage units that can easily disappear into the neutral backdrop of the kitchen make the slim pantry a possibility. Some of these units utilize the vertical area on offer and others take the approach of maximizing space between two different cabinets.

3. Get cute folding chairs and hang them up.

Whether you end up going with that fold-down table or not, you can free up some floor space by hanging your dining chairs when you’re not using them.

4. Put your dishes on display.

Get a freestanding shelf or bookcase (ideally one that’s tall so that you don’t need to give up a lot of floor space for it) and load it up if you lack enough cabinet space to store all your dishes. No room in your kitchen area? Steal space from the living area instead.

5. Turn the top of your fridge into a pantry.

We’ve seen the top of. the fridge used to store all sorts of stuff. Sadly, it often looks messy or wasteful, but a curated selection of your most-used pantry ingredients will look nice. And it’ll make things easy to grab in a pinch.
