Useful tips for kitchen storage

In the kitchen, even if it is not very small, there is always not enough storage space. After all, you want to fit both dishes, and food, and useful devices, and even so that it does not cause a feeling of disorder.

Quartblog has collected for you the most useful, in our opinion, ideas for storage in the kitchen.

Place for lids

Often it is the lids that take away important space from us in the kitchen: either they ineffectively occupy a whole drawer, or they do not allow us to store the pots one in the other. Try organizing a place for lids on your kitchen drawer door. A small rail, a towel rack, or even hooks with Velcro will work for this.



You can store the lids compactly inside the drawer on the magazine stands.


Storage of cleaning products

It is convenient to store the cleaning products under the sink, using the spouts on the bar. In addition to the use of multi-tiered baskets and pull-out structures, light bottles and sponges can be stored on the door.


Space for cutting boards

Cutting boards can be stored using the office folder organizer. The vertical one takes up less space, but the horizontal one is also suitable - you can put something on top.

The board dividers can also be installed inside the kitchen drawer.


If there is no space at all in the drawers, hang the boards on the railing or use the side surfaces of the kitchen set to place the hooks.

And, again, don't forget about the shelves on the doors.


If you do not have enough space for slicing when preparing complex dishes, a pull-out board is a very convenient solution. An easier option is to place a regular board on top of the drawer that has been pulled out.


Shelf from an old drawer

If you are changing your kitchen, do not throw away the old drawers, they will come in handy in the new one. Shelves for dishes can be made of them: hinged or standing on the countertop.


Storage of spices and bulk products

If food is not stored in the same bags in which it is sold, but in special jars, the kitchen will look neater, and you will find what you need faster. Jars can be bought or made by yourself.

It is easy to make spice jars from the empty glass containers. Cut out the name of the spice from the package and tape it to the new container.


To save space, such jars can be stored not in the closet, but under it. That is, we glue the lid to the lower surface of the upper kitchen cabinets, and fasten the jar itself to the lid.

Convenient storage of spaghetti can be achieved with two plastic bottles. Cut off the bottom of them and trim the edge with scissors. On one bottle, make a vertical cut at the top so that the resulting "glasses" are inserted one into the other. In this design, you can store not only spaghetti, but also cereals.


Attachments for fastening

Pay the attention you deserve to the roof rails. Of course, the idea is not so new, but it is extremely useful.



For attaching knives and other metal objects, there is nothing better than a magnetic strip.

An extremely convenient mount is obtained from plug panels if you manage to fit them into the interior of the kitchen.
