Install Paper Towel Holders For Trash Bags

Fix rolls of trash bags through a paper towel holder for more efficient storage. Instead of rummaging through the cabinet for your trash bag every day, this makes throwing things away much more convenient.

Use Magazine Racks As Holders
image

Before you toss out your old magazine rack, give it another life by fixing it inside the kitchen cabinets to hold your food storage wraps, foils and bags. Go for the plastic and metal ones that can provide more structure than a paper type.

Line Up Cleaning Agents On Tension Rods
image

Utilise the vertical space in the cabinet by adding a tension rod or hooks to hang your cleaning supplies. This will be your new go-to for utilizing shelf space and making things more accessible. In this way, you’ll be able to keep bulkier items on the bottom of the cabinet and the lighter ones on top. This is a really easy way to reduce the clutter in an enclosed space and you can also use this hack in your messy storeroom.

Label Your Jars
image

Instead of storing in bulky containers, use clear jars that also serve to prettify your pantry. Label with a permanent marker or, if you’re feeling crafty, print stickers and cut them out.

Create a spice rack
image

Keep your bottles of spices neat and tidy by adding either a wire rack or another shelf inside a kitchen cabinet. This way you’ll be able to keep the bottles from getting dusty on the kitchen countertop whilst saving precious space in the kitchen.

Put big cutting boards over the sink
image

Create more countertop space simply by placing a big chopping board over the sink area. Voila! Extra space for your dinner preparation. This will also minimize clutter around the food prep area so that you will be able to move about more easily, without the risk of toppling over an opened spice bottle or a bowl of chopped vegetables.

Add drawer inserts
image

It’s convenient to simply toss your utensils into the drawer without sorting them out. However, separating and getting them out of the mess can be time-consuming. To avoid this stress, add drawer inserts and categorise your items neatly. You’ll be surprised at how much time you can save and unnecessary stress you can avoid especially when you are busy preparing for a dinner party.

Pegboard It
image

Another way to make use of the vertical space in the kitchen is to hang a pegboard on the wall. By doing so, you can hang your most frequently used pots, pans, and even your oven gloves for easy reach.

Standing dividers
image

Instead of stacking your chopping boards, place them on standing dividers so that they can dry properly. Alternatively, you can also create a standing divider on the insides of your kitchen cabinet so that you can stow away the chopping boards and take them out only when required.
