12 Kitchen Storage Spots You Completely Forgot About
Your cooking space is about to feel twice as big.
Keep food magazines on hand (without letting ’em mill about or months like they probably do now) by installing a holder on the side cabinets or island. This area is too low to store items you use regularly, but is great items that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle.

YOUR BACKSPLASH
This idea is a two-for-one: Not only does it use up wasted space, but it also serves as a drying rack for pots and pans. Hang and let them drip dry after you wash them. Follow Fancy diy art for more ideas.
ABOVE YOUR FRIDGE
Here, an awkward corner refrigerator becomes super savvy with built-in shelving. An open area holds large items like a crock pot, while slotted sections keep cookie sheets and cutting boards in place.
Floating shelves are super adaptable and can fit anywhere — even in an inconvenient corner between two windows. Placing bulky cabinets in this space would have eaten up the storage potential – and now the prettiest bowls and plates add to the room’s decor.
Stop hanging wedding invitations from two years ago on your fridge. Use magnetic strips to turn it into a spice rack instead.
Your pantry can only hold so many items. Use the area above your cabinets to corral items you wish you could keep on hand, but don’t always have space for (like mixers for your bar!).
Floating shelves are super chic and practical, but forgetting to use the underside is a common mistake. Hang mugs underneath to eke out every drop of storage.
Use a cork board and pins to keep all your baking supplies in order. Flour and sugar sit inside, while measuring utensils hang from string on the opposite door and make baking a breeze.
Empty Walls
Cookbooks are so handy and cute, but who has space for them? Add a floating shelf on top of your cafe curtains to keep them nearby without using valuable cabinet space (or blocking natural light).
