Roll Me Away
If you're striving to save space, a rolling cart with a屠夫块top does double duty. Use the top for prep when you need it, and give dishes or other supplies a good home on the shelves underneath.
Get Some Hang Time
大多数厨房用具在手柄上有一个凹口，非常适合栖息高。这样，你可以保存你的limited drawer spacefor something else.
攀爬天花板
Similar to the elevated utensil concept,hanging your pots and pans from a ceiling-mounted rackkeeps them nearby and easy to spot. Even better, the cabinet they used to occupy gets freed up, making room for items that used to live on your counter.
Sink In
When you're chopping, you can't be washing, so why notuse your kitchen sinkas a prep area? Any cutting board slightly wider than your sink will do the trick.
滑入家里
If you're lucky enough to be in thedesign stages，为什么不潜入混合中的一些拉出表面？获得额外的空间是才能在需要时出现的很好方法。

Beyond the Block
Let's face it, traditional knife blocks are counter hogs. A simple solution is to store knives on the wall with a magnetic holder, but make sure you dry your knives thoroughly before storing and place them carefully on the strip.
Top-Shelf Idea
Open shelving—whether it'sset on the backsplash, mounted on a painted wall, or even free-hanging from the ceiling—can greatly increase your kitchen storage capabilities. Although you'll want to choose eye-pleasing items to house there, the net result will be an increase in space down below.
Trash It
Made famous byRachael Ray, the "garbage bowl" can help keep peels and trimmings under control as you cook. Scraps go in the bowl until they're all ready for the trash or composting, and the counters stay free of debris.
