Walls that are remote or too small to hang ** and knick-knacks, such as the narrow wall next to the bathroom sink, are often unused, but you'll know better if you're proficient in storage techniques. Instead of ignoring these walls, hang a few simple floating shelves within reach. Reduce clutter by using shelves to store items that you normally put on your countertop.
When you're trying to store items that you don't use often, consider being above eye level. Stack wicker baskets along the top of the cabinet to store small appliances that you don't use often. Install a pot rack from the ceiling to store pots and pans that you don't use every day. Hang hangers from the ceiling to store out-of-season items and free up closet space. These storage tricks are often overlooked, but they can save a lot of space.
With a few supplies and some creative thinking, you can easily double the shelving space in your bathroom and kitchen. Place tiered shelving units along the widest shelves, breaking up large spaces into smaller, more usable chunks. Attach the narrow basket to the inside of the cabinet door for more storage space.
Replace the door of the pantry or laundry room with wooden shutters, which can be purchased at hardware resale stores and charity shops. Wooden blinds don't just look great, you can also use the other side to hang items like kitchen utensils or knick-knacks out of sight. If you don't want to replace the door, you can also install a prefabricated shelving unit. Many are designed to fit on the inside of the door and give you plenty of extra storage space.
Taking advantage of the space underneath the cabinet can free up some space inside the cabinet. By hanging a shelf underneath, you can store your wine and coffee glasses under the cabinets, using less space than you would need on the shelves. You can also use the space to install magnets to support metal cans or spice containers.
