Useful Kitchen Storage Design

浏览精选有用的厨房存储设计以最好的质量

If you can't bring yourself to Kondo the kitchen, it's time to trick out the cabinets, drawers and island with a few space-saving ideas. Rethink the little nooks and niches and you'll have counter space for days.

GO VERTICAL WITH A LADDER.

Don't limit storage to areas within arms' reach. Designer Katie Ridder opted for a sliding ladder to reach ceiling-height cabinets, which are perfect for that bread maker you never use

Let light in and store unused gadgets in an additional row of cupboards, as seen in this Manhattan apartment.
