The space atop kitchen cabinets is typically disregarded, often collecting dust and forgotten items rarely used. Many of us consider it as a design quirk or an inconvenient gap that serves no real purpose. However, this overlooked area has potential that is only limited by our creativity and organizational skills.
When utilized right, the tops of kitchen cabinets can be transformed into functional storage or an expressive corner of your kitchen’s decor. Here, we will delve into how one can effectively and aesthetically make use of this space.
1. Storing Infrequently Used Items
One practical use of the space above your kitchen cabinets is to store items that you do not need to access on a daily basis. Think seasonal dishes, special occasion serveware, or large, cumbersome appliances that are only pulled out for specific tasks. Keep these items in attractive bins or baskets to maintain a tidied look. This way, they remain out of sight but are still easily reachable when needed.
2. Displaying Collections
For those who love to collect items such as vintage tins, ceramics, or cookbooks, the tops of kitchen cabinets offer the perfect stage to showcase these treasures. When arranging your display, consider varying heights and textures to create a visually appealing vignette. Just remember to keep these items dusted and clean, as they can easily become sticky and grimy in a kitchen environment.
