Yet whatever gains we make in overall square footage, seems to be outstripped by the ever-growing amount of stuff we need to store within them. It\u2019s true for every room in the home \u2013 but many people find it even more so in the kitchen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With so many specialized appliances and accessories, plus the demands of keeping dinnerware and cookware on hand for entertaining, many homeowners are finding their cupboards to be very far from bare. The solution? Creative new ideas like these that can help you put everything in its place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 40px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No deserted islands. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brighteyedbaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Innovative-Kitchen-Storage-Ideas-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2928\" src=\"https:\/\/karry.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karry19-Blog2-1-1024x526.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen island with shelving for books and wine\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Islands in kitchens are great \u2013 especially when they double as storage units. Here, the homeowner has found a great way to both store kitchen contents, as well as display some of its more attractive elements like cookbooks and wine bottles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 40px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hide in plain sight.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/design\/rooms\/kitchens\/20-smart-kitchen-storage-ideas-pictures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2929\" src=\"https:\/\/karry.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karry19-Blog2-2-1024x526.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen open shelving beside range hood\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open shelves provide an attractive way to both display items like fine cookware, while also opening up the room to greater storage potential than might be available with traditional closed cupboards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 40px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Park it in the garage.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contemporist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/appliance-garage-031116-909-07.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2934\" src=\"https:\/\/karry.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/Karry19-Blog2-3-1024x526.jpg\" alt=\"Storage for appliances on a countertop\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some owners opt to create \u201cappliance garages\u201d underneath existing cabinets.
