7. Under the sink
When the issue with storing dishes, vegetables and products is resolved, it remains to figure out where to hide household chemicals? The detergent, cleaner, sponge and gloves as well as a broom with a scoop and a garbage bucket, it is best to remove under the sink. Here it is advisable to equip comfortable shelves or take advantage of drawn containers on wheels, which can be used in a shopping store. For the storage of household trifles, conventional plastic and metal boxes are suitable.

Storage under the sink

In the kitchen, even if it is not very small, always lacking storage space. After all, I want to fit and dishes, and products, and useful devicesYes, and so that this does not cause a feeling of disorder.

QuarterGog gathered the most useful for you, in our opinion, ideas for storage in the kitchen.

Place for covers

Often, it is precisely the lids that take an important space in the kitchen: either ineffectively occupy the whole box, or do not allow storing pan one in another. Try to organize a place for covers on the door. kitchen drawer. For this, a small railing, a towel rack or even hooks on velcro are suitable.

You can store the covers compactly and inside the drawer on the stands for logs.

Storage of cleaning products

Cleaning products are comfortable to store under the sink, things for the nose on the crossbar. In addition, you can use multi-tiered baskets and retractable designs, light bottles and sponges can be stored on the door.

Cutting Place

Cutting boards can be stored using an office organiser for folders. Vertical occupied less place, but also the horizontal will suit - from above it will be possible to deliver anything.

Demandors for boards can be delivered inside the kitchen box.

If there are no places in the boxes, hang on the railing boards or is used to accommodate the sideways kitchen headset.

And, again, do not forget about the shelves on the doors.

If you do not have enough space for cutting in the preparation of complex dishes, a very convenient solution will be a retractable board. An easier option is to put an ordinary board on top of the extended drawer.

Shelf from the old box

If you change the kitchen, do not throw out old boxes, they will come in handy. Of these, you can make the shelves for dishes: mounted or standing on the table top.

Storage of spices and bulk products

If the products are stored not in the same bags that are sold, and in special jars, the kitchen will look more careful, and you will find the right faster. Jars can be bought or made independently.

From the libened glass containers it is easy to make jars for spices. Cut from the package the name of the spice and stick it with a scotch for a new product.

Such jars to save space can be stored not in the closet, but under it. That is, we glue the cover to the lower surface of the upper kitchen cabinets, and we screw the jar itself to the lid.

More about this idea and others possible methods Read the use of glass cans in the post "Second life of glass cans: 12 ideas."

Convenient storage of spaghetti can be provided with two plastic bottles. Cut the lower part from them and fir the edge with scissors. On one bottle, make a vertical incision from above so that the resulting "glasses" inserted one to another. In such a design, you can store not only spaghetti, but also cereals.

Fastening devices

Pay deserved attention to the railings. Of course, the idea is not so new, but it is extremely helpful.

Things should be stored where it would be more convenient not to get it, but return to the place.

Marie Condo "Magic Cleaning"

Today I invite you to look into the kitchen. Here there are so many fixtures for cooking that the hostess itself can not remember them. We use rarely - baking forms, meat grinder, food processor etc. Most often, they store them in the distant shelves and get on the occasion. Others we use every day several times, with their help we prepare and eat.

For food, we use spoons, forks and knives of various sizes and shapes. For cooking - blades, halves, whiskers, bumps, snipers, grates, vegetables, corkscrews, silicone brushes ... These tools are so much that in some online stores they do not even have the name - apparently do not have time to invent. Store all this wealth must be competent, so as not to waste time in search of the desired blade, do not reach throughout the kitchen over the midst and not climb on the mezzanine in search of the corkscrew. Today we will visit my kitchen and kitchens of my colleagues, and let's see how the storage of kitchen devices of the most frequent use is organized. But first...

We will conduct an audit

If a mess reigns in kitchen and dining rooms, it's time to figure it out! As a real follower Marie Condo, I already know that before organizing storage, you must have a revision. Then there will be fewer things to be attached, and it is easy to estimate the volume to be organized. In one of my articles, I pisal about the revision of the wardrobe. These rules are suitable for the kitchen.

I did so: posted everything on the table for good review and divided into three parts. The first is that you need to leave - beautiful, useful devices that are used. The second - what doubt, these devices are postponed for a month to see if they are needed. Personally, in my kitchen things in such a group did not turn out. And the third is what you need to throw.

I considered every item and asked ourselves - do I often use it and is good if it performs his function. If the answer is "no" - ejected. It also got rid of devices that simply do not like. Thus, I threw out only 2 subjects - a plastic blade, which was a very uncomfortable form (besides I had a second, comfortable), and a wooden blade that had already served myself and looked not aesthetic. And in the kitchen it is very important that everyone looks beautiful - the desire to prepare directly depends on this. Therefore, I finally bought a good ceramic knife in a case, which has long watched, and a beautiful bright green spoon for a slow cooker.

We organize storage

After revision need to determine how and where to store all these devices. The ideal solution here cannot be - all the kitchens and hostesses are different. The main thing is easy to use. Each kitchen device moves daily on the same trajectory: the place of storage is the place of use - the place of washing - the place of drying (if necessary) is the place of storage. It is very convenient when this trajectory is minimal, and the storage location is located near the place of drying or washing, then the cleaning of instruments in the places passes easily and without effort.

Storage locations may be several, then it is necessary to divide the items. Looking at the photos of my colleagues, I noticed just two principles of division. The first one is intended when the cutlery is stored separately, kitchens separately. The second is the frequency of use. Frequently used are located nearby, rarely used - away.

I have two storage places. Cutlery lie in a drawer near the sink, I put them there immediately after washing. And the instruments for cooking hang right above the sink, which is even more convenient - washed and immediately hung. There are no extra dryers. Such storage suits me, especially after I threw unnecessary items.

What about others?

Now I propose to go to the kitchen to my colleagues from "all in the field" and their girlfriends, and see how they store cutlery.

Elena. Lena has three storage locations of kitchen appliances.

First - next to the stove. Here is a suspended glass with blades that are used most often when cooking, as well as a magnetic knife holder.

Second - pull-out drawer next to the dining table. Here in the special organizer stored cutlery, it is convenient to take them from here when serving a table.

And the third is the retractable box in which rarely used blades, culinary spoons, corkscrews, openers, whites are lying.

There is still a box with inventory for baking. It is very convenient to keep it in one place. Baskets organize space.

Natalia.. Natalia has all the devices are stored in one place - in the drawer. But, before going there after washing, they will be dried in a special tray on the table.

Regina. Regina shared appliances in purpose. The first group - cutlery - stored in a special container in a suspended cabinet. The second is the food cooking devices in the drawer.

Natalia.. Natasha and her family live in a removable apartment, where there are no drawers in the kitchen headset. Therefore, all kitchen and cutlery are stored in plastic containers on the railing next to the sink. All at hand - very convenient.

Alyona. All its kitchenware is stored in plain - on the suspended rails and in the stand at the slab, knives on the magnetic bar. The kitchen is small, and in the headset there is no place for drawers. Baby appliances are standing apart from adults - on the shelf, with which children can get them. Since there are not so many places, there are no extra things - everything is only "in the case."

Ideas

And finally, several ideas from the Internet.

Kitchen appliances can be stored in different ways. Place it takes a minimum, and everything is in sight when you need it.

When the work surface is tight household appliances And dishes, cook becomes just nowhere. This picture is well acquainted to owners of small kitchens. How to unload the worktop, we will still talk, but you can act from nasty. For example, add heads retractable panel instead of one thing upper boxes. The simplest script is to turn the drawer to the bottom up, strengthen the extra panel and thus get a stationary cutting board.

The lower part of the kitchen headset can also work for you. Remove the decorative panel, order a narrow pull-out drawer on the width of the module and manage it as you like. The space of 10-15 centimeters height is suitable for storing wide utensils ( festive dish, Fighting, massive covers) or it will be useful to your domestic pets. We know how you're tired of stupid about the bowl with food under your feet.

3. Cups at hand

Cups and plates are customary to put the headset in the upper sections, and the pans are in the bottom. This is a proven over the years, but not the only possible storage scenario. Look at how many cups and glasses are placed in a conventional drawer under the working surface. At the same time, all items in sight - you no longer have to get up on the tiptoe and painfully look for a favorite cup in dark bowels of the suspended cabinet.

4. What is under your sink?

Let's try to guess: pipes, garbage bucket and an ominous warehouse of household chemicals. Given the depth of the kitchen headset, you most likely forgot to be hidden by the wall, not to mention the way to climb the sink with your head and make cleaning in the corners. The simplest retractable box with low walls comes to the rescue, as in the photo. The price of components - both for two lunch in a cafe plus minimum labor costs.

Doors of the cabinet not only the barrier for dust, but also the useful storage area. Mount the internal shelves to the depth of the CO jar, and you will no longer have to wonder how it is convenient to arrange kitchen trivia.

Half, noise and whims, especially if there are many of them, are not always placed in a horizontal box. Exit - to organize storage vertically. It is suitable for any narrow section of the headset, such as a bottle, if it is for you to anything. To turn a narrow box to a vertical storage system, it is enough to cut in any panel of the circle on the diameter of glasses. So kitchenware It turns out at hand, and the glasses will easily take out and wash if necessary.

Board with holes "like in a garage" or metal grid - quite worthy decorative elementif it is correct to file it. Feel free to paint the board in the tint of the kitchen and hang it on the apron or the stenitude, which will be found even in the tiny room itself. Storage opportunities at such a board are almost limitless: a pair of metal hooks from the store for the house, and you can raise a frying pan, tacks and even a section for a sponge - what is enough fantasy.

One more useful idea with perforated board - lay it inside deep drawer and add vertical slats under the size of the dishes. Now here you can store not only the pans, but also ceramics: plates and saucers do not break up, even if you sharply slam the box.

Pans and lids in the kitchen often have to be separated due to the large diameter and large dimensions. All would not, but at the most inopportune moment, the couple is often lost. To collect large utensils in one place, care space for covers with a narrow pocket inside a common large drawer. With this location, you will be clearly visible to the diameter of the dishes.

10. Jump everything

On the bottom surface of the closed box or open shelves You can mount neat hooks and store coffee cups, brushes or blades on them. As practice shows, the hooks do not happen much: in our example, several systems operate in the photo.

11. Levitating jars for spices

Separate seasonings on the table top - it means to subscribe to the eternal mess: banks will fall from any random movement, and to make it elementary, it will have to shift the entire "battery" to a safe distance. Much easier to fasten them under the top line kitchen cabinets: glue covers and unscrew when necessary the cans themselves.

The angle of the sample headset is perhaps the most mysterious place in the kitchen. Usually, the skils that are sorry for you to throw away, although it's time for a long time, or a crazy, which you take once a year. So that precious meters do not disappear in vain, add corner cupboard Rotary-retractable basket or regiment-cararel. Both can be built into the finished kitchen, and the components find from most manufacturers.

Hall and kitchen - two rooms that most often need cleaning. But, ready to argue, you did not design a niche for mop and other large accessories in the kitchen. It is not too late to correct the deficiency: the problem will solve a very narrow end cabinet, which organically closes the kitchen line.

14. Knives in the tabletop

Cookinists with experience advise: Before starting to cook, get not only ingredients, but also all the necessary dishes. But no matter how we tried to follow the smart recommendations, it is sure to turn out that right now you need a completely different knife and it lies in the box where you don't want to climb dirty hands.

If the tabletop material allows you to make feeds in it. To such a storage system, small children will not be completely distinguished, and the knives will always be ready. If the countertop does not succumb to processing, you can provide a special wooden insert for the knives.
