Space-saving tips for your kitchen
From meal prep to cooking implements and space-hogging appliances, is your kitchen looking cluttered and messy? One excellent way to regain control of your space is to give your counters a clean sweep.
Installing hooks and storage shelves in your kitchen is a way to combat clutter. (Submitted)
Install shelves and hooks If you’re in the habit of keeping a bowl of fruit, cooking oils or frequently used utensils on the kitchen counter, try moving them to an attractive wall shelf. For a touch of sophistication, why not install a row of hooks or a kitchen rack to hang your pots and pans? These touches will instantly give your kitchen a more upscale appearance and give your countertop more breathing room. Switch to magnetic wall surfaces A magnetic wall or well-placed backsplash — over the stove, for example — is an excellent storage option for your kitchen. Knives and other metal utensils will stick to it like
magic, as will metal spice jars. This simple solution will clear up your counter space in a flash. Add new furniture pieces Many home furnishing stores offer a wide selection of rol- ling serving carts or movable kitchen islands. These furniture pieces provide additional workspace, as well as built-in shel- ving or bins to enhance your storage capacity. Why not take advantage of that versatility? Follow these tips to gain extra counter space and enjoy a less stressful cooking experience. Talk to an interior designer in your area to find the right solutions for your kitchen.
