How to Maximize Kitchen Spaces

Whether it’s a small kitchen or a large one, using the space wisely makes a big
difference in flow of work and functionality. A well-organized kitchen area not only
look beautiful, but it also works better. Below are a few tips to help maximize kitchen
spaces.

Make use of vertical spaces – Take advantage of the wall space by installing
hanging racks, open shelves, magnetic strips, keg boards, etc. Wall mounted
shelves can be used to store items that aren’t used on a regular basis. Tall cabinets
too can be used for storage occasional cutlery, serve ware and small appliances.
The inside of the cabinet doors can be used for extra storage by fitting small racks
and hooks.

Get smart cabinet organizers – Pull-out trays, lazy Susan’s, stackable shelves,
clear containers, etc. are a few ways to organize the cabinets in an efficiently
manner. These storage solutions not only help reduce waste but also keeps the area
clutter-free. Grouping smaller items such as canned goods or baking supplies or
spices can help with easy access.

Invest in multipurpose furniture – If the kitchen areas are small and there are no
dedicated breakfast counters or dining areas, the best thing to do is invest in
multipurpose furniture or get it custom made. Wall mounted drop counters, foldable
tables, bar carts with prep surfaces and kitchen islands that come with built-in
storage are a few good ideas.

Choose multifunctional appliances – Instead of having several different
appliances, invest in multifunctional kitchen appliances such as microwave that grills
and bakes too; or a blender that can mix and chop too; or a food processor that can
help with a lot of things. Under-sink organizers, slim dish racks and stackable
cookware too can save some valuable space.

Keep the countertops as clear as possible and keep de-cluttering the kitchen from
time to time. With smart storage options, one can create kitchens that feel open and
efficient no matter the size.
