Storage Solutions For The Kitchen

Finding storage solutions for your kitchen has never been easy, as the majority of us never have enough space to store all our kitchen accessories, appliances and crockery. We dare not throw anything away just in case we may need it. Theres' the best crockery, cutlery and dishes. Lets just face it we all hoard stuff in our kitchens as that "just in case" factor kicks in. I personally have a large mixer that is used probably twice a year and takes up the best part of half a cupboard. Appliances, dishes and other kitchen equipment that we don't use very often are stuffed away in cupboards out of sight. The thing is these are all products we really just don't want to get rid of, because we have to have enough stuff "just in case".

One of the best storage solutions I have come across in recent years is my microwave cart which has not only added much needed storage space, but freed up part of the counter top, where the microwave oven was located, giving some more work space. There is a huge range of microwave carts out there to fit into every size of kitchen and fit into virtually any space. They are great if you have a small kitchen and offer excellent storage solutions, most have under shelf storage and will release space on your counter top when you move your microwave oven. Some have shelves above for storing of microwave cookware or plates. The larger carts have glass fronted storage cabinets above for the display of glassware or crockery and can not only add storage space, but enhance the look of your kitchen or diner and add style.
