There are many benefits to having a clean, organized house where everything has a place. If you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019ll find it very difficult to concentrate when everything is disorganized or you have the impression that something isn\u2019t quite right.<\/p>\n
Naturally, things weren\u2019t always like that. When I was younger, I didn\u2019t think much of organization around the house; I suppose that\u2019s because of my mother that it always seemed as though it was ready to be photographed for a real estate agent\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n
She taught me many tips and trick too, my mother, amongst those the best ways to use those small cupboards many kitchens have above refrigerators. Know the ones I mean? Well, if you have them as well, read on to see how they might be best utilized.<\/p>\n
At first glance, the small cupboards you might find above the refrigerator might not look like they can be all that useful.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re simply not big enough for some things, and having plates or cups up that high just simply isn\u2019t practical.<\/p>\n
So, what to do with them?<\/p>\n
Well, if you\u2019re at a loose end as to what you want to do with these cupboards, we\u2019re here to lend some nifty tips and tricks.
\nStorage space for infrequently used kitchen gadgets:<\/p>\n
As stated, these cupboards probably aren\u2019t ideal for things you\u2019re going to be using twice a day every day, but that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t hold things that only come out every now and then. Think food processors, blenders, waffle makers, etc.
\nCanned products and baking essentials<\/p>\n
Most canned food and produce have extremely long life-spans, meaning they can be placed up here and it\u2019s okay if you forget about them for a while. Or how about baking essentials that you might only use on weekends?
\nCookbooks<\/p>\n
Got a few cookbooks you don\u2019t want just lying around? I know I have, so I actually use the top compartment of my cupboard to keep my books.
\nPantry items and spices<\/p>\n
Similar to what we mentioned about canned foods, there are likely items you have in your pantry that can fit nicely in such a cupboard. Or you might consider getting a small spice rack to keep your cooking spices up there.
