Kitchen Storage Ideas
Every kitchen comes equipped with the basics, but many times the storage is basic too. When limited kitchen storage is the challenge creative cooks come up with creative ideas.
No pantry? There's a solution. How about an armoire? Wall space in an adjoining breakfast nook or long wall space in the kitchen are places where a gorgeous piece of funiture can store can goods, spices and baking products. With shelves as deep as a kitchen cabinet, and maybe even deeper, an armoire is perfect for kitchen storage. An armoire with adjustable shelves allows you to customize based on your needs.
Canisters not only add a decorative touch to your countertop, but they also help keep your food fresh for a longer period of time. Countertop canisters come in a variety of styles, colors and even uses. There are countertop canisters for staples such as flour and sugar, but have you considered a canister for pasta and garlic?
Countertop canisters work best when ingredients are used regularly. When wanting to store sugar over a long period of time it's best to leave it in the bag and place the bag in an airtight plastic container. Sugar often hardens when stored in a countertop canister. To keep pesky bugs our of your pasta, oatmeal and flour, an airtight container stored in the fridge is your best bet. Grain products unfortunately come with little eggs packed right in with the food and these eggs will hatch when stored for long periods of time at room temperature.

Pot racks are an easy way to accomplish stylish kitchen organization. A pot rack keeps your pots and pans handy for use and if you hang it above your kitchen sink, it makes cleanup simpler. Wash the frying pan. Hang it and it drains in to the sink below.
In addition to creating more storage space, a pot rack changes the look and feel of the kitchen. It becomes part of the decorating theme.
