How to store dishes in the kitchen?

In closets

Wall cabinets often run out of space, and plates and cups, especially spare ones, are haphazard. For easy storage, use multi-tier racks, dividers, hanging metal baskets and folding shelves - these are easy to find in hardware and online stores.

And to make use of the space under the interior shelves, attach the cup hooks to them.

In the curbstones

If you order a kitchen set, give preference to drawers - it is more convenient to use them, since all the dishes are in plain sight after being pulled out.

Do not forget special dividers to keep the stacks of plates stable.

Flat dishes - baking trays, trays, baking dishes - should be stored vertically, that is, in rows. This way you can easily find and remove the items you want. Trays, dividers, and boxes work well for organizing. What if corner set, use its main blind spot with a shelf, drawers, or a handy carousel.

On open shelves

If you like open storage or if the dishes don't fit in cabinets, a great option would be wall shelves... They will add variety to the atmosphere and give it lightness.

Dishes can be a great decoration if they are matched to the interior, have an interesting design, are made of glass or diluted with decor.

The disadvantage of such a solution - dust that accumulates on the surface of the dishes and complicates cleaning.

You can place an open storage system not only above the work area, but also above dining table, as well as in any accessible wall.

On the ends and doors of furniture

Another practical solution for flat items and crockery with handles. IN small kitchen every surface can be a storage space if you provide it with hooks: the sidewalls are perfect.

You can also use the kitchen cabinet door by hanging a shelf on it. You cannot overload such a structure., otherwise the hinges will quickly fail.

On the walls

One of the most popular ways to organize wall storage is to hang roof rails, but besides them, there are more non-standard solutions. For storage lids and pans, a perforated board with hooks is suitable, and for dishes with holes in the handles - a metal mesh holder.

If you have a whole collection of cups, don't hide them, but create a wall art object: you will need a wooden shield and hooks.

We do not recommend getting carried away with such storage systems, so as not to overload the kitchen interior and not create a feeling of clutter.

In the seat

The best option for owners of a small kitchen is to use multifunctional furniture. Kitchen corners, benches and sofas with hinged lids or drawers will create additional storage space for crockery you don't need on a daily basis. There you can put away sets of glasses in boxes, salad bowls and plates for special occasions.

On the rack

Open racks often serve as a temporary option for storing dishes, but for kitchens in Scandinavian, industrial and eco-style designs look harmonious and add character to the interior. Open shelves have one more significant plus - you can make them yourself and rationally fill the unused niche.

In the buffet or sideboard

Antique pieces of furniture can be successfully incorporated into modern furnishings by matching them in color and design. The sideboard with transparent doors will become a highlight of the interior, and the dishes placed on its shelves will serve as a magnificent decoration of the kitchen. If desired, the composition can be supplemented with lighting.

It is easy to give the necessary type of furniture with your own hands by painting the facade in a suitable color.

On a trolley table

This trolley is so compact that it is easy to find a place for it even in a small kitchen. The trolley on wheels can be used not only as an additional storage space for kitchen utensils, but also as a serving or bar table. The design looks stylish and unusual, perfectly fitting into the modern interior.

Under the ceiling

Use the usually empty space to relieve the lower "floors" by installing overhead wall cabinets or mezzanines.

If the kitchen unit is already formed, place rarely used utensils on top of the cabinets. You can create a beautiful composition if the items look aesthetically pleasing, or put items away in boxes or baskets.

Hang a ceiling rack if storage space is not enough. Make sure that the structure does not interfere with cooking and free movement.

With the help of these ideas, you can beautifully and compactly place the dishes without disturbing the order in the kitchen, save space and give the atmosphere a distinctive character.
