In my years as an organizer, I can attest to the benefits and difference that risers make in all types of cabinets.
In the kitchen, a riser elevates stacks of dishes and creates extra space underneath to slide plates or bowls. It’s a great way to maximize all the vertical space in a cabinet that otherwise would be wasted. Clear risers give your cabinet a professional look and don’t add visual clutter.
KEY TO ANY SPACE-MAKING / ORGANIZING PROJECT: Purging is the FIRST, and most important step to your project. Get rid of all the damaged bottles and storage containers with missing lids. Donate other items and keep the minimum.
Transfer all your spices into matching jars and labels to create an organized spice cabinet. A narrow cabinet near your stove top is a great location for spices. Use an adjustable spice riser so you can see everything at a glance. Who knew a spice cabinet could be so beautiful?
Bottle Containers
Use a clear or color container to neatly store your bottles. Use a basket with dividers to organize lids. Stackable water bottles will keep your cabinets
Appliance Garage
Some kitchen designs include anappliance garage,a cabinet set aside to store small appliances like toasters and blenders. This saves lots of valuable counter space. Even if you don’t have an official appliance garage, you can apply the same idea by organizing all your appliances in one standard cabinet. I recommend installing a rolling-out shelf.
