Preparation
Carving out extra storage room in a kitchen can be difficult, especially when you’re working with limited cabinet and countertop space. “More often than not, small kitchens lack upper cabinet space because of windows or limited wall space,” says interior designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25, “which means finding creative storage solutions to access your most-used kitchen items is a must.”
Fortunately, there’s an easy—and affordable—way to seemingly create more room out of thin air in an otherwise cramped part of your kitchen. “Simple above-the-sink shelves offer a place to store everyday items without cluttering your countertops,” says interior designer Kirsten Grove of We Three Design. “They also eliminate sink clutter, which can be a huge nuisance in a kitchen of any size.” Interested in adding a sleek above-the-sink shelf to your kitchen counterscape? From minimalist-minded styles to tiered organizers and more, here are several styles that will transform your kitchen sink into a storage-savvy scene in seconds.
