Five Practical Kitchen Storage Ideas Help Reduce Clutter Without Major Renovations
Anonymous
Several practical approaches can help make kitchen storage less cluttered without major renovations. A tall, adjustable corner shelving rack can use otherwise wasted space, while decorative compote bowls can corral small countertop items and double as decor. For food containers, one suggestion is to store each container with its lid attached for easier matching, while a separate adjustable lid organizer offers a way to keep lids sorted in a cabinet or drawer. In small kitchens, a compact tiered rack can be positioned vertically or horizontally to organize pots and pans while taking up little space.
Key Points
1
The Costco corner rack is 77 inches tall, has four shelves adjustable in one-inch increments, and needs no tools for assembly. With leveling feet, each shelf can support up to 500 pounds; with casters, capacity drops to about 200 pounds per shelf, and the rack should be kept balanced rather than top-heavy.
2
Compote bowls’ raised shape can keep stored items below direct eye level, making them less visually conspicuous. Suggested uses include holding measuring spoons, cookie cutters, coffee supplies, rolled hand towels, snack packs, and small odds and ends.
3
Storing food containers with their lids attached deliberately sacrifices some space efficiency for convenience: the author says it makes it easier to grab a matching set without sorting through stacks of containers and separate lids.
4
The YouCopia StoraLid organizer measures 13.2 by 10.4 by 3.3 inches and has five adjustable dividers for lids up to 9 inches wide; the article says it was priced at $18 and also comes in an expandable version.
5
The Deco Brothers pan rack is designed to work in either orientation and measures 9 by 9.5 by 12 inches. It was available in silver, white, and bronze and cost a little over $22 at the time of the article.
