Cutting board storage
Unlike that handy little potato spiralizer that's been in the back of your cupboard for 18 months, cutting boards are used in the kitchen on a daily basis. Attach a wire basket to the inside of a cabinet door and store them there. Put the basket in a convenient location you can reach for easily—they've earned the prime spot!
Hooks, hooks, hooks
Hooks are so useful, especially in a small kitchen with limited storage space. Use cheap hooks to hang potholders, measuring spoons, and any other utensils on the inside of the cabinet doors. This makes use of dead space, otherwise wasted! Don't be afraid to hang them up under your cabinets, either. Put whatever space you have to good use if you don't have enough cabinet or drawer space!
Magazine file storage
No, you don't need magazines in your kitchen! These magazine files are so cheap at the dollar store and make perfect paper goods storage. Place it in a cabinet to make use of vertical space instead of just stacking everything in an unorganized manner. All those loose plates and napkins will stay nice and contained.
Noodle board
Do you struggle with not having enough counter space for cooking? A noodle board will solve all your counter space woes! It's a wooden board that sits on top of your stovetop (when it's not in use, of course) and creates extra workspace. Genius!
Curtain rods in the kitchen
Wait, what… curtain rods?? Yes, you read that right! Set curtain rods in your kitchen to create extra space for various items, like mugs, towels, cookie cutters, cutting boards and anything else that you need to hang up over the countertop.
Drawer organization
A junky drawer is such a waste of valuable real estate! Organize your kitchen drawers to make the most of the space. Use a designated drawer organizer (there are tons), or get some small baskets from the dollar store.
Bottle storage
Anyone else have a bazillion kid water bottles floating around the kitchen at any given point in time? Finally give them a home of their own with a wine rack as storage! They stack neatly and vertically and are ready to pull out whenever you need.
