Are you short on space in the kitchen? Choose from these 8 interesting solutions
As you move around and work in your kitchen, you may realize you just don't have enough storage space and/or worktops to work as effectively and efficiently as you may like.
To solve this problem, there are fittings and furnishings you can get which can provide for this need, and which are relatively cheap to acquire (and customize).
Check out the 8 suggestions below:
1. Caddie
If you have some free space against a wall or under a window, you can add extra storage space to your kitchen with a wheeled caddie. This will give you extra room for your pantry foods and/or cooking utensils. And you can also wheel the caddie around to wherever you need it most.
2. Coffee station
Set up a tea/coffee station by adding a small stand to a kitchen cabinet. A stand with a drawer will also allow you to store all the necessary tea/coffee-making products.
3. Cabinet with transparent doors
Create extra space for your pantry or to store your kitchen utensils in by using a sturdy steel cabinet with clear Plexiglas doors. This will allow you to see all the goodies you have and, at the same time, they will be protected from dirt and dust.
4. Space-saving column
Do you have some free space between the cabinet and the refrigerator? Transform this gap into an extra storage space areas for multiple items by using a column drawer unit (or just putting up some simple shelves).
5. Folding table
A dining table is always nice to have in a kitchen, but what if you don't have the room for one? Choose a folding model - it can be pushed up against a wall when not in use (and folded up) .
6. Wooden and metal shelving
Put up shelving in free areas - choose lightly colored shelving for modern-styled kitchens; darker and/or metallic shelving will suit a more industrial decor.
7. Chest of drawers
Add a chest of drawers to your kitchen to store everything you need conveniently. The top can also be used to place appliances upon.
8. Microwave shelving
Buy a shelving unit that will fit over your microwave (that also has hooks): in addition to providing you with an extra shelf, you can also hang up your cooking utensils.
