Any home chef knows the utter frustration of loving their home kitchen, but not having enough room to enjoy cooking in it—let alone store and organize everything. One great, often underutilized option is using vertical space—or those bare kitchen walls—which is usually just a bunch of negative space. With a little creativity, you can find ways to fill those walls with smart storage options.
It may feel like storing items on walls will add to the clutter, rather than minimize it, but this really won’t be the case. Make use of that blank space, and you may be able to avoid the more disappointing alternative: having to toss some of your favorite (but not heavily used) kitchen gear.
As an added bonus, sometimes that kitchen wall storage can lead to a serious style upgrade for the kitchen, one that will make it appear bigger and add new life to the room without a blow to your budget.
