A Neat and Tidy Home for a Focused Mind!
Having a neat and tidy home with everything in its place is truly a blessing. If you’re anything like me, you know how difficult it can be to concentrate when things are disorganized or not where they should be.
When I was young, I didn’t place much importance on keeping my house organized. But thanks to my mother’s teachings, our home always looked like it belonged in a real estate agent’s portfolio. She shared many useful tips and tricks with me, including the best ways to utilize those small cupboards above the refrigerator. Let’s take a look at how these seemingly insignificant cabinets can be put to good use.
At first glance, those small cupboards above the refrigerator may not seem very useful. They’re not large enough for certain items, and placing plates or cups up there is impractical. So, what can we do with them?
Well, if you’re wondering how to make the most of these cupboards, we’re here to share some clever tips and tricks with you!
- Storage Space for Infrequently Used Kitchen Gadgets:
Although these cupboards aren’t ideal for everyday use, they can be perfect for storing kitchen gadgets that you only use occasionally. Think about food processors, blenders, waffle makers, and other handy appliances.
- Canned Products and Baking Essentials:
Canned food and baking essentials have long shelf lives, making them great candidates for storage up there. You can keep them out of the way until you need them without worrying about forgetting them.
- Cookbooks:
Do you have a collection of cookbooks taking up space? Utilize the top compartment of these cupboards to keep them organized and easily accessible.
- Pantry Items and Spices:
Similar to canned foods, there are likely pantry items and spices that can fit nicely in these small cupboards. It’s a convenient way to keep your cooking essentials within reach.
- Kitchen Towels:
Bulk-buying kitchen towels is a common practice, and finding a place to store them can be a challenge. Why not use these cupboards to keep your stock of kitchen towels neatly stored away?
- Fine China:
Reserved for special occasions, your fancy plates and cutlery can find a safe haven above the fridge. This way, there’s less chance of your children accidentally getting hold of them.
Remember to stay safe!
It goes without saying, but let’s emphasize it anyway: be cautious when opening and closing these cupboards. If you store heavy items up there, make sure they are safe to retrieve. Always use a sturdy stool or step ladder to access the cupboards, and keep in mind that the heat emitted by the fridge might make it less suitable for certain products.
