Tips and Hints

Try these expert space saving and storage tips in your kitchen. Check back often, we'll have more Tips and Hints for you soon!

Spice Storage

Try not to store your spices in the upper cabinet on the top of the stove. Heat from the stove may alter the taste. Try storing your spices in a special pull out section in the base cabinet, or in the upper drawer.

Corner Storage

Try to store items that are infrequently used in the Lazy Susan or in the blind corner. Try to fit pots and pans within each other when storing them. For blind corners try using the Magic Corner or other shelving systems.

Pantry

Avoid storing heavy objects above your head. Try storing bottles in the bottom shelves and leave the middle shelves for daily use.

Dish Storage

Dishes are usually stored in the upper cabinet above the sink. If you prefer storing dishes in a drawer use the Blum system.

Microwave

The ideal location for placing your microwave is in a tall pantry close to your refrigerator. Resist placing it at chest height or lower.

Sink

The best sinks are designed for rear drainage, leaving more room for storage in the bottom cabinets. They also offer a variety of heights and size configurations to accommodate your needs. For more space saving options try purchasing a sink top cutting board.

Wine Storage

Red wine should be stored at room temperature in a wine rack in either the base cabinet or the lower half of the upper cabinet.
