Kitchen Ideas
Advice for working out kitchen storage:
1. If it’s something you use at least every other day, leave it out in the open. For example, everyday coffee cups, bowls and plates.
2. If it’s something you use once a week or less, have it in the kitchen but not taking up prime real estate in the most accessible areas.
3. If it’s something you use once a month, stash it in the pantry.
4. If you use it two times a year or less (turkey roaster, fondue pot, breadmaker), keep it in a storage area like the basement.
5. If you rarely use it and you don’t love it, donate it.
The shelf wall also adds character and function to her kitchen. “I really like that my guests can grab a glass for wine without feeling like they are snooping through my cabinets,” Clements says.
When planning for open shelves, she advises figuring out everything you’ll want to fit on them and measuring first. For instance, she wishes hers were 9 inches deep instead of 8, so she could place wine glasses two deep, one in front of the other, rather than having to stagger them.
On the highest shelves, she displays sentimental items like a beloved bird pitcher she received as a wedding gift. She stashes items like vases, flower frogs, candles and incense in the cabinets below. There’s also a liquor cabinet underneath the barware.
