9 Space-Saving Solutions for Small Kitchens

We live in a house with a rather small kitchen and trying to store stuff so that everything is organized and easily accessible has been a challenge. Here are 6 storage items that I use that make it so much easier to find things when I need them.

1. Lazy Susan
This is such a useful item that I have in my kitchen—I have 2 and will probably get more.

You simply place items on it and place it in your cupboard so you can spin it around so things that were once lost in the back are now in the front and easily accessible.

2. Under Shelf Baskets
One of the ways we waste space is to not use vertical storage as well as horizontal. By this, I mean we have shelves in our cupboards that are full, but there’s a lot of space above the shelves that’s not being utilized. Of course, it’s not practical to just place things on top of each other, so a great solution is to use shelf baskets—they simply slot onto a shelf and create another shelf.

3. Tupperware Containers
These are so handy and you can use them for items like tea, coffee, sugar, cereal, baking products, etc.
When shopping for these containers, some of the features to look for are:
Sturdiness
Clear plastic to see what you have
Secure seal to keep things fresh
Available in different sizes
Stackable—to make the most of the vertical space in cupboards
Easy to open and close (especially to make it easy for your kids)

4. Standalone Shelving
If you have some vertical space on your kitchen walls, put up some standalone shelving to store your mugs, saucers, teapots, and more.

5. Tiered Cabinet Organizer
Last but not least are tiered shelves, another way to use vertical space in your cupboards while making things accessible. 

I use these in my spices and herbs cupboard since these items are small and easily get lost in the back of cupboards.

6. Hang Your Utensils
If you feel overwhelmed by having cooking utensils strewn all over your kitchen, try hanging your most needed ones on the inside of a cabinet.

7. Moveable Island
You can purchase a compact multi-functional island to provide extra storage space and preparation room, while also giving you a spot to eat breakfast in the morning.

8. Rolling Cart
These three tier carts on wheels can be moved around easily and are convenient for storage.

9. Pot Rack
What’s great about this is you can install it on your ceiling. So if you’re lacking wall space, consider installing a wooden pot rack to hang your cookware and large

I hope that these storage products give you ideas for how to make your own cupboards more organized and efficient.
