No matter how creative you get, it feels like you run out of cupboard space and resort to living with a messy kitchen. But, with these sneaky tips you can add some simple storage solutions that let you take advantage of things you already have in your kitchen.

Give your Pantry a Makeover

Spend an afternoon cleaning out your pantry and adding things like bins, baskets, shelf racks and other organizers to take advantage of the shelf space you do have. You’ll be amazed at how much space you can add with this simple tip.

Use Wasted Cupboards

Use that cupboard under the sink or other odd cupboards to store things like cleaning products, garbage bags and paper towels. Just add some shelves or pullout units to make them more functional. Before you do this, check for leaks and contact Seaford plumbers who specialize in leak detection and repair to make sure your stuff stays dry!

Don't Discount Counter Space

An old but valuable trick is to add jars and knife stands to your counter to make room in drawers for other things. You can also keep your toaster or mixer here to free up cupboard space. Do this sparingly to avoid clutter, but use this tip to get more storage space in an instant.
