12. The Metal Grate pot rack Idea
Many people store their pans and pots in cabinets.
However, the number of cooking utensils
keeps increasing over time,
making the cabinets overload.
If you do not have any more space in your cabinets,
you can always tap into the walls.
You can make this idea tangible
by hanging pegboards, curtain rods,
or even this heavy-duty grid.
This heavy-duty grid looks like wire mesh.
Even better, it is way sturdier.
More importantly, you do not need
to have advanced carpentry skills to install it.
You just need to screw hooks to the wall
to hold the grid in place.
Then, add as many S hooks as you want
to hang your kitchen utensils,
including some recipes or a list of the weekly menu.
11. Maximize available space above your kitchen cabinet
Do you think you do not have
any more space in your kitchen?
Are you sure about that?
Look up!
You may find ample space
between the upper cabinets and the ceiling.
This space might not be big,
but it does in a pinch because every inch is valuable.
Since it might be hard to reach,
you can use it to store
some less-used items like large pots.
You can also build a separate drawer
for larger pots or pans like 30-inch range
or bigger ones like 32-inch range.
Another drawer can be designed
for smaller pots or pans like the 27-inch range.
The third drawer can be made for utensils,
dishes, and cooking gadgets.
10. The Holiday Kitchen Shelving Ideas for Cheap
Corners in every room in a house
can be awkward sometimes.
You cannot place a cupboard
or any other piece of furniture in it
because it will leave an opening gap.
Although you cannot place a cupboard
in the corner of your small kitchen,
it does not mean you cannot do anything about it.
Try these simple and smart corner shelves for example.
To make these shelves,
you just need to cut some boards to length,
sand them down thoroughly,
stain and seal them,
and finally screw them to the wall.
You can also install brackets underneath
to reinforce them.
Additionally, you can install a peg rail at the floor
and upper-shelf level and use it for mugs
and baskets on the lower levels and plates
and cutting boards on the upper levels.
9. A unique Cutting board storage Idea
You might think that your cabinets are already full
because you have crammed many things into them.
Apparently, you can find plenty of storage space
that needs tapping into.
The doors of your cabinets, for example,
can serve more than just concealing what is inside.
You can turn the area to be an ingenious
additional storage solution.
First, You can try making a cutting board rack
behind your cabinet door.
It is as simple as screwing three pieces of boards
to the door to create the frame.
Then, attach two wooden dowels to it.
These wooden dowels will help you hold
the cutting boards in place.
It is much better than laying them on the countertop,
which can take up the counter space,
or cramming them in the cabinets with the other dishes.
8. The corner kitchen cabinet makeover with arrow shelving
Many people think that placing cabinets in the corner
is not a good idea.
Well, you can turn this dead-end
into a fun storage solution with this lazy Susan hack.
Just like Lazy Susan shoe racks,
this storage can rotate in place,
resulting in more shelves that you can use
to stash away spices and condiments.
You can even install drawer slides to some of the racks
so that you can pull them out
and get what you are looking for more easily.
The trickiest part will be the moment
you insert your lazy Susan
inside the existing corner cabinet.
To do this, you need to remove the doors
and add a twist to them by installing euro-styles hinges.
These hinges will allow you to fold the doors sideways
so that you can rotate the racks.
They also create a sleek look
that complements your minimalist kitchen.

sand, apply any finish you like,
and then screw them to the corner.

and make your kitchen look more appealing by styling it.

coming in a few color shades.

Well, although this is not a living room
and not many people will notice it,
at least it can please your eyes and boost your moods.
6. The DIY kitchen shelf with some wires by Marenbaxter
The idea of creating floating shelves
as additional storage solutions is always good.
However, it is not as easy as it seems,
especially if you have a shiny and sleek backsplash
that you do not want to ruin or scratch.
Instead of screwing the shelves to the wall,
you can try suspending them from the ceiling.
To make these shelves,
you will need some boards and galvanized wire.
First, drill several holes.
Then, screw eye-hooks to the ceiling
and begin to thread the wire through the first shelf.
It will be on the bottom shelf.
After that, thread the wire
through the second shelf above it.
Use stoppers to make the board stay in place.
Ensure it is level, though.
Finally, secure the wire to the hooks in the ceiling.
5. How to build a new Bookshelf
and floating storage in the kitchen
Little Details:
• No 1. Paint the wall
(If you think it will be a wise decision)
Before you draw up your plan,
you can give the walls a preliminary coat of paint.
Then you can decide on the color scheme for your shelves.
Just be sure to find one that blends well
with your walls.
• No 2. Install your bookcase
Layout the components on the wall first
before installing them to prevent any mistakes
during this process.
Measure so that there are no gaps between the components.
Take care when choosing where to install
these pieces into your wall, too,
because once they are in place,
they are not easy to change.
• No 3. Hang items on pegboards as alternative
Instead of spreading out many shelves,
consider installing pegboards
instead of regular shelves
for better storage options and looks.
You can hang all your utensils and tools
on these pegboards.
4. The multi-tiers kitchen corner cabinet idea
This one is another brilliant idea
to conquer the cabinet corner.
When you open the door,
you will see two shelves.
It is not surprising, is it?
Hold on a second.
It turns out that the shelves feature drawer slides
so that you can pull them out quickly.
Here comes another surprise.
You can pull the shelves next to them sideways,
allowing you to get easy access
when you want to get your pan and pot in an instant.
To minimize chances of costly error;
Mark "the point mark" on your outline accurately
to get two equal lines at an equal distance
from one another,
which is equivalent to your desired size
for your kitchen cabinets' height and width measurements.
3. Hide the Rails for a Sleeker Look
If you want to carve out a minimalist look in your kitchen,
you must make your cabinets look sleeker.
You may also have to hide away any hardware,
including drawer slide rails.
To create a sleeker look,
you can try installing a single slide rail
at the bottom of the drawer.
You need to install it right in the middle
so that the drawer is balanced.
Begin with attaching the front end
to the front frame using a screw.
After that, connect the other end to the rear of the enclosure
using the mounting bracket.
It has to be perpendicular to the front frame.
You can also install anti-friction pads
in each corner of the front frame opening
as additional support.
This way, you can prevent distortions.
2. Under-cabinet magnetic knife rack Idea
Using magnetic racks to organize your knives
is an ingenious idea.
However, it may entail dangers
if you install them along with the backsplash.
Your kids might reach them easily.
Alternatively, you can try installing the magnetic racks
on a board suspended from the cabinet
using a drop-down hydraulic mechanism.
To obtain extra storage in your kitchen,
you can install a magnetic rack under any available shelf
in your kitchen cabinet or pantry as well.
That way, you can maximize the space
by using smaller items like spatulas, vintage kettles, etc.,
on top of it while using larger items
like pots and pans underneath it.
Alternatively, you can also install a drop-down magnetic rack
on the top of the shelf and then place your peelers,
knives, and spoons underneath it.
Lastly, Number 1. A Mobile Workbench Storage Idea
A kitchen island can add a significant impact
on your kitchen.
It provides additional counter space to work on.
However, they can be bulky
and gobble up a lot of space sometimes.
Therefore, this one will solve your problem.
This kitchen island features casters
that allow it to move quickly.
Even better, it provides a lot of storage.
SECOND IDEA
If your kitchen is tiny,
you can simply get a steel chain and get more space,
like this idea.
You just need to attach the chains on the wall
and grab some S hooks to hang your pans.
General instructions:
1. Planning the Design
For example, if you have a double-door cabinet,
choose a pull-out unit that can fit into the space of this cabinet
without exceeding its depth.
Another way is to use an extension shelf
to fill up space between two cabinets.
A shelf unit with sliding doors enables you
to access items in all three spaces in the cabinet
when they are open and closed.
2. Use 2-inch screws to attach the chain
to the wall studs or concrete blocks.
This point is to add a little height to the cabinet
and add a bit more storage space.
3.Add a handle to prevent the drawers from swinging open
when you carry the unit.
4. (Extra) Install a cable for storage box
under cabinet shelf.
