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 of the 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 useful.

The kitchen is a place where there are always a lot of things, and often lacks space for storage. How would you try to minimize the number of household appliances, dishes and products long storage, it will not be possible to do without them, and therefore, it is worth thinking about the organization of functional storage areas in the kitchen and apply to this a fair share of smelts and designer fantasy.

We have already written about, and in this article collected specific advice on how to solve the issue with the organization of the storage area.

Use the vertical space

Even if there are not enough free meters, the walls remain at your disposal. There are a lot of interesting and practical devices for vertical placement of things on the walls or directly in work zone on apron.

Use vertical surface, option from minacciolo

A variety of small shelves can be placed over the dining table and on the walls, and over the table top, fasten the metal barrel-rayl, which can be hung on almost anything. The charm of such a design is obvious: items do not occupy cabinets and a worktop, while being in sight. Filling can be poured purely individually: hooks for lightweight spoons and cooks, shelves for spices, baskets for household chemicals, rods for paper towels, etc.

Council: For storing knives or jackets with spices having metal covers, many use magnetic overlays, which also allows you to significantly save free space.

Extra Shelf for Siematic Cabinet Doors

If possible, try to use shelves with a system of advanced brackets, as they greatly facilitate access to any corner of the cabinet or shelf, and therefore make it possible to maximize them. They are especially relevant for corner cabinets and spaces under a sink, which is usually used only half.

Do not neglect non-standard furniture

Where there is not enough space for full cabinets, there may be some space for a narrow extendable locker or almost flat shelf. The retractable cabinet-penalty is convenient to use for storage of spices, sunflower oil, cutting boards And other utensils, and on flat wall-mounted shelves, culinary books or plates will completely fit.

In addition, a large space for storing large-sized items give corner cabinetsIf you equip them with nominating brackets, as well as flat retractable boxes, which are usually placed under the oven. They can accommodate not only additional transversions, but also a lot of other items.

Extending brackets for deep cabinets

Memo: Any secluded corner inside the cabinet can be equipped with a small bracket, mounted shelf or stand for vertical placement of items, thus engage in a maximum.

Use jars and containers

Spices, sauces, cereals, pasta, coffee and tea - almost any long-term storage products are conveniently decomposed on glass, ceramic or metallic banks and containers with tightly closing covers. Due to this, you can immediately solve several tasks: create suitable conditions for their long safety and provide a compact and aesthetic solution for their placement. Such banks can be placed on open shelves, a tabletop or hood, at the same time, they will look aesthetic and serve as an excellent decor for the interior, without occupying a lot of space inside the cabinets.

Do not forget about additional stands

In a small kitchen, any trifle becomes important. You may have to free the space in top cabinet For basic necessities, and the dryer for dishes put on the worktop. In this case, pay attention to the compact design models, the functionality of which is well thought out, and the appearance will not spoil the interior in contrast to cheap plastic models of dubious production.

It also makes sense to use multi-level coats for dishes and trifles, both inside the shelves and directly on the kitchen countertop, this, again, will help everyone to gently organize and use the space vertically.

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 is no in the kitchen headset retractable boxes. Therefore, all kitchen and cutlery are stored in plastic containers 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.

More difficult, if the room is small - you have to thoroughly think about the location of all necessary items.

Usually, the cereals occupy a lot of space, and bags with spices make chaos, because spontaneously sprawling on all surfaces (plus more smells).

Here are our tips on this topic. Let's start from the opposite, that is, what can not be done.

Where you can not store cereals and spices

The solution to the issue of placing bulk products is impossible to start without understanding which places it is better to avoid.

• First of all it is necessary to remember that storage in packages and cardboard boxes Absolutely forbidden. Avoid this if you do not want.
  Note: Spices also poorly carry such storage conditions - they quickly lose their fragrance. And in general, the taste quality of products deteriorate, if you do not provide storage.
• Bad choice - boxes and shelves over the kitchen sink. Increased humidity promotes the formation of dampness and as a result - mold. And if the cheese can be considered a delicacy with it, then someone's moldy buckwheat croup is unlikely to consider sophisticated delicacy.
• Not the best option and storage of cereals in the refrigerator. First, condensate may form there and they will answer. Secondly, they simply will take place there - bulk products do not necessarily provide a cold for preservation, quite simply dry space and sealed tanks.

Having understood with where it is better not to place cereals and spices, let's choose nine better optionsthat will help organize order in them in a small kitchen.

For storage, cereals and spices have many interesting ideas that are easy to implement with their own hands. Let's see the most original and comfortable?

Secret pull-out panel

It is not necessary to set your culinary reserves to the public review - they can be masked well. For example, by typing in kitchen set Retractable shelf that appears to look like an ordinary decorative panel.

This method is quite unusual, but requires noticeable costs: you will have to purchase a kitchen made to order. However, the final result is worth it - few will hold back the surprised chief, seeing how you get pasta or seasonings to them from seemingly solid wall headset.

Outboard shelves for refrigerator

If you have free access to the side wall of the refrigerator, a mounted construction, which will accommodate sealed jars for bulk products can be a wonderful way out for not big kitchen.

So they will not take a precious place on the shelves, but at the same time will always be fine and in sight. This method is a kind of organizer, which will greatly facilitate the search for the necessary ingredients for cooking.

Tip: For white refrigerator, select the shelves to tone the main range in the kitchen. If you bought a more original color unit, pick up the suspension design of the contrasting shade.

Retro locker

It looks good looks like a pendant wooden cabinet with glass doors and iron handles. It will fit well to the kitchen, decorated in classic style. You can position the boxes symmetrically, or you can - in chaotic order, alternating dimensions and color of the door.

This option looks spectacular, but it is necessary to take into account some nuances. The first one is the price. Most likely, the locker will need to be made to order so that it adequately fit into color gamut Your kitchen. The second can be considered more significant - if the product is poor quality, you will not be able to ensure the tightness of the products, which will negatively affect their storage and may become the reason for the appearance of kitchen moths.

Alchemical laboratory

Probably, almost every in childhood dreamed of becoming a wizard. Now you can at least partially realize your dreams! On the suspended shelf Sleepy narrow tubes with spices and wide flasks with croups and pasta will be very impressive.

You can add there and mysterious bottles with vinegar and vegetable oils. This design looks very interesting and mysteriously. However, be careful: do not hang it over the stove, even if your heat-resistant menproofs: constant heating does not improve the properties of products.

Interesting reception: Originality an interesting idea You can add containers with glass of different color. If you decide to place on this shelf and vegetable oilsMake them aromatic - add spicy herbs or berries in them. So your shelf will further be like a wise wizard rack.

Suspended stand

There are no standard containers suspended for durable hooks on a metal or wooden cloth on the wall. Perhaps you will have to make it a speaker to organically place the containers with the croups. It is better to choose oblong narrow containers.

Using this designer reception It is necessary to take into account that it is best not in the kitchens decorated in modern style. In addition, it will be difficult to arrange beautifully differentized containers - it is possible to use the method only for cereals or spices. In this case, for the second type of products, it is better to come up with another option.

Magnetic board

This storage is more suitable for spices - all the same large containers will look a little strange, and it is much easier to place small containers on the board.

The essence of the reception is quite simple: On a wall in a convenient place, a canvas with magnetic properties is attached. Then small jars with metal covers or magnets on the walls are selected. Then everything is simple: Attach them in an arbitrary or strictly defined order, depending on your taste.

It is not necessary to acquire special containers for this. Clean jars are originally looking for Tik-so-signed by beautiful font. Just attach one part to the tape with the inscription, and on the second - a small magnet.

For large cuisine: If you want to use this technique and for croup, you will need a lot of space, magnetic board and more powerful magnets. Pick up not too heavy tanks and consider the location so that you can comfortably reach each bank.

Rack with retractable shelves

It will look original and a small narrow cabinet with retractable shelves. Such can be seen in the supermarket. Make a few large boxes for cereals and pasta, a few smaller for coffee and tea and very tiny for spices.

Such a wardrobe, especially if it is decorated for a kitchen headset, will look organically. Retractable shelves Facilitate the search for the right products and streamline the location of the products.

If you are not a fan of large reserves, you can make such a rack in the form of a small decorative locker placed on the kitchen panel or built-in headset. In any case, such shelves are comfortable and easy to implement.

As a kitchen decor

Love the space decorated in the rustic style? Then post beautiful jars for spices, croup, tea and coffee on outdoor small shelves.Select cute covers for them - for example, wrapped with cloth. It is not necessary to buy them the same: on the contrary, it will be better to look at different, but decorated in one style.

Do not put more than two or three tanks. On one shelf - it creates an overload effect and does not look so impressive as five to six shelves with several banks.

Regarding the sizes, too, show fantasy - select containers of different sizes, but one form. In this case, the kitchen will not look boring, however you can avoid aging.

Interesting addition: Do not try to place so spices. Little light jars are difficult to keep in order on open shelf. Better place them in a small wall basket. Alternatively, it can be suspended to one of the shelves. Just make sure that the fastener is quite durable.

Retractable drawers

Probably almost everyone saw racks for selling tea and coffee - a large number of Small hermetic boxes, with transparent side doors.

You can highlight a separate zone in the kitchen under such tanks, and you can order an original kitchen set, where such containers are mounted in an arbitrary order. This will add the kitchen of the originality and will look like the original designer reception.

The price of such a headset will be high, but the final result will delight any amateur of the original furniture.

However, there is one nuance. If you do not inherent accuracy, you will have to abandon this option. You will have to carefully follow the purity of transparent doors and so that the tanks are filled. In the half empty form they will look not so aesthetic.

As you can see, there are many ideas that completely refute the standard ideas about what you can store spices and bulk products in the kitchen. We tried to gather for you the most original solutionsBut this does not mean to be limited exclusively by them.

You can use one of our ideas for the storage of cereals and dried herbs, and you can come up with their own on their basis. Do not be afraid to experiment with interior design - perhaps you can say a new word in the design of the kitchen.
