Here’s how to store dishes and other items in your kitchen. Store appliances you use daily on the counter and weekly in bottom cabinets. Store appliances you rarely use in a storage space, like a pantry. If you have enough height in your lower kitchen cabinets, store them upright. This means storing them on their side to maximize space in your cabinet or pantry. A few options are a tray divider or a rack. You can also store them on top of each other in the pantry, which will make them harder to retrieve, but easier to put away and keep out of sight. The third option is to use roll-out storage like a drawer or cabinet. This makes it easier to grab an individual dish because you can visualize the entire cabinet drawer. To store knives in a drawer, try a knife dock. A knife block looks great on the counter while on the wall, try a magnetic knife strip hung close to your prep area.
