Tips to make the most out of your kitchen space

Auxiliary cart

Do you have any space left between your kitchen furniture? Frequently, when installing modern appliances in an old kitchen, some not very practical spaces are left. A practical way to use them is to put an auxiliary cart to store everything you need: jars, bottles, salt, kitchen utensils… Since its movable, you can take it and save it comfortably as you wish, so you don’t have to juggle every time you want to put something away. Besides, if you don’t want the cart to be visible, you can use a curtain to hide it. In this case, we used a 45cm width cart, but at IKEA we have different sizes, so you just have to find the best place that adapts to your free kitchen spaces.

Shelfs for pictures

Yes, what you are reading is true, a shelf for pictures (even if its size is of 12cm width, like the one on this image) can be very useful when making the most out of your kitchen space. How? If you have a narrow and high place behind a piece of furniture, you can put and use it as support folding chairs. A smart solution that will allow you to keep the chairs you don’t use and a tidy kitchen. This is just an idea, but you can also use it to pile trays, chopping boards or any other kitchen element that fits in an space like this one.
