You can’t think of many things more annoying than a cluttered kitchen worktop. You want to make dinner in peace with minimal stress, yet you’re constantly trying to create space and move things around. It makes you feel cramped when you’re cooking and you start dreading lunch and dinner every day.

What if there was a way to declutter your kitchen worktops, leaving you with all the space you need to cook and prepare meals? It turns out there isn’t just one way – there are three!

Maximize Cabinet Storage

Cabinets exist for a reason, so you may as well use them. Store as many items as possible inside the cabinets so they aren’t taking up space on the worktop. This step alone can free up so much space.

Moreover, find ways to maximize the storage space. You may consider getting new kitchen cabinets that are deeper or taller to make the most of your walls. Or, think about adding things to the kitchen cabinets so you unlock more storage space inside. For example, install a shelf or some sort of divider and you suddenly have double the amount of storage for plates and crockery.

Use Worktop Shelving

On the topic of shelving, it comes in very handy to remove things from worktops while keeping them in an accessible part of your kitchen. Install some shelves above your work surfaces and you can put lots of different things on them. It’s a simple DIY home improvement job that suddenly creates more space on the worktop to prepare dinner.

Better yet, the shelving could allow you to move things out of cabinets, freeing up space for larger items. As an example, a simple shelf can become a fine place to keep all of your store cupboard spices. They’re within an arm’s reach while you’re cooking – and a whole cabinet is now opened up to store bigger items like pots, pans, or even an air fryer that usually takes up loads of worktop space!

Hang Things Up

Freeing up worktop space is all about being creative and making the most out of everything in your kitchen. Do you have a curtain pole by a window that never gets used? Do you possibly have a kitchen island with space above it to install some sort of rod or pole? In either case, you’ve got somewhere to hang items from hooks. This is a fantastic way of removing pots and pans from kitchen work surfaces and getting them out of the way. You open up loads of space and can reach up to get the items when necessary.

Another very good way to hang things up is via magnetic strips. You can buy them from loads of places online and they screw into the wall. From there, you can attach anything metal to them. People do this to keep knives and other kitchen tools out of the way – rather than having them in a pot or knife block taking up worktop space.

 

There are tons of creative ways you can make your kitchen worktops more spacious, and these three are easy ones to implement. They’re not expensive or time-consuming either; a little bit of drilling here and there will give you more storage space and extra room on your counters.
