For those who spend a lot of time in the kitchen, it’s easy to accumulate a lot of equipment that can make a small kitchen feel cramped. While there are many ways to optimize and utilize vertical space in small kitchens, we often overlook the valuable and underused areas like narrow vertical wall spaces. These spaces between windows, door frames, and cabinets have untapped potential that can be utilized for storage and organization.
Instead of focusing on broad storage solutions like adding multiple shelves, consider utilizing the narrow vertical spaces in your kitchen. By suspending bulky items like knives on magnets or using mini floating shelves for spices and oils, you can optimize space and make essential items more accessible during meal prep. Getting items out of drawers, off counters, and out of cabinets can make a big difference in how organized your kitchen feels.
How to start using your narrow vertical space
There is plenty of storage space in the kitchen that you might be missing out on, including the narrow spaces between windows. By utilizing these spaces creatively, you can optimize storage and make your kitchen more organized and functional. Consider options like magnetic knife holders, mini floating shelves, and mug racks to make the most of your vertical space.
