Kitchen Storage Problems Easily Solved! Make Your Space Larger And Neater With These Tips

Every time after cooking, the kitchen seems to have been bombarded by chaos. The spatula and the seasoning bottles seem to be fighting, and the countertop is occupied by debris. I want to find a pack of Sichuan peppercorns, and I almost reach my waist. Last month, my best friend Xiaomei had just moved into her new home, and she was worried about this matter. It was quite difficult to turn around in the small kitchen of less than 5 square meters. Then she made some modifications according to the methods on the Internet. Now the entire kitchen is in order, and even the air fryer has found its "home". I made a special trip to seek experience and compiled this set of kitchen storage tips. They are all based on real experience. If you follow them, your kitchen will become more spacious as you use it.

Many people think that the kitchen space is small because of the insufficient number of cabinets, but in fact it is because you have not looked at the unused wall. Install a magnetic knife holder on one side of the gas stove, and kitchen knives and scissors can be attached to it for easy access, eliminating the need to rummage around in drawers. Nail a stainless steel hanging rod above the sink and hang the drain basket and dishwashing liquid. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, the water droplets will drip directly to the set position, and the countertop will no longer appear wet. My friend Xiao Lin couldn't drill holes in the rental house, so he used strong nail-free glue to affix a foldable countertop. When unfolded, it can be used for cutting vegetables, but when folded, it does not hinder the space. At the bottom of the wall cabinet, a row of transparent acrylic boxes are pasted, and the grains are packed in them. They can not only prevent moisture, but also be clearly visible. Every time you open the cabinet, you will feel like you are visiting a mini supermarket.

Who says storage has to be fixed? Uncle Wang's wheeled vegetable cart is like a movable warehouse. It has three layers of drawers, which contain the current season's vegetables. The bottom layer has rollers, so it can be parked wherever it goes. Shopping bags and aprons can also be hung on the roof. There is also a 15cm narrow cabinet that can be inserted into the gap of the refrigerator. It is designed with slide rails. With a gentle pull, the soy sauce and vinegar bottles will appear in order. My neighbor Aunt Zhang is even more awesome. She converted an old suitcase into a storage box with wheels. Baking molds that are not often used are hidden inside. These storage units with mobile functions are good news for small kitchens.

Opening Sister Li's cabinet feels like dismantling a Russian matryoshka doll. The first drawer contains a checkerboard cutlery box, with forks, spoons and chopsticks in their respective places. The second layer hides a liftable rice box. Press the button and the white rice will flow into the measuring cup. A rotating tray is installed at the corner of the bottom floor, and you can take out the deepest casserole by half a turn. Don’t waste the space under the sink. Install a retractable shelf, place detergent on the upper shelf, stuff garbage bags in the middle, and hang a folding basin on the bottom. My friend Lao Zhou was even smarter. He made a sliding drawer out of waterproof PVC boards, where damp rags and steel wool balls all had a place to live, eliminating the need to squat down to retrieve things.

There is a 20cm gap between the refrigerator and the cabinet. What can this gap be used for? A girl named Xiao Wei who was born in 1995 inserted a narrow cabinet with a handle into it. There were six layers of acrylic drawers in the narrow cabinet. The drawers contained hot pot base ingredients and tea bags. When pulled out, they looked like a rainbow candy jar. She also inserted a magnetic spice rack into the gap between the range hood pipe pillars, so that she could reach the oyster sauce bottle while cooking. What should I do if the top of the wall cabinet is difficult to reach? Try installing an automatic lifting basket, press the remote control, and the stored New Year gift boxes will slowly lower. Decoration master Lao Chen revealed that it is now popular to stick a storage bag on the back of the cabinet door and insert plastic wrap and baking paper rolls into it. It is completely invisible when the door is closed and can be reached when the door is opened.

As a white-collar worker, Amy put eye-catching labels on each condiment bottle and divided them into three areas: red, yellow and green according to frequency of use. The light soy sauce and dark soy sauce placed in the red area are placed within easy reach of the stove. The star anise and cinnamon in the yellow area are stored in the middle of the wall cabinet. The Christmas limited seasonings in the green area are placed high up. She also said that in this way, her husband’s problem of always opening the wrong bottle caps was cured. The freezer compartment of the refrigerator also uses transparent drawer boxes for classified storage, with signs of "hand cake layer" and "hot pot meatball layer" respectively. In this way, what you want to eat can be accurately located immediately. The crisper boxes are arranged according to size like matryoshka dolls. As long as you lift the lid, you can easily get what you want. You no longer have to search hard like playing an archaeological game.

The so-called storage is not to transform the kitchen into a model room, but to ensure that every item has a path of return. It feels like playing a real-life version of Tetris. You need to accurately find the right shape and then place it properly. In this way, you can naturally piece together a spacious space. The next time you organize, remember to give your items a "permanent residence" first, and don't let them become homeless. You will find that cooking is no longer a burden. Even if you just turn around to get the spices, you can do it with an elegant posture like a waltz. These methods are personally tested and effective. As long as you put a little thought and use your hands, your small kitchen can become more and more spacious with continuous use.
