Chalk it up! If you’re someone who likes to keep a running grocery list, or piles of clipped recipes and coupons in your kitchen, then you might want to consider adding a coat of chalkboard paint to one of your walls. This idea allows you to get rid of the paper and pen clutter by utilizing wall space and chalk as your new canvas. If you’re nervous about committing to painting an entire wall, try just painting a small section of it, or simply hang a chalkboard for notes and other great kitchen storage ideas.
Don’t file away the manuals for your kitchen and bath fixtures. Instead, slip them into a locking plastic bag and hang the bag in the cabinet under the sink. They’ll always be right where you need them. Toss in paint samples and spare cabinet hardware too!
You see an empty file holder, we see an opportunity for some clever kitchen storage. If you have an orphan file holder lying around, try converting it to the upright storage space where you arrange your aluminum foil, your parchment paper, your plastic bags and more.
Spice up your life! Surely you’ve heard of this revolutionary thing called a spice rack. Embrace it! When it comes to kitchen storage, all those little containers of cumin, oregano, and cinnamon can quickly overwhelm and confuse you. Stacking them in a cupboard without any logical order will only lead to chaos. The solution: spice rack! If you’re extremely organized, you can transfer your spices to uniform jars and add printed labels. It depends on how often you find yourself reaching for these flavorings.
