6. Hide Appliances or Less-Attractive Items

If you have bulky appliances or items you’d rather not see daily, the space above cabinets can be a great hiding spot. Keep them organized in pretty baskets or containers.


Tips to Keep in Mind

  • Weight Limit: Avoid storing very heavy items that could be a hazard if they fall.
  • Safety: Make sure items are stable and secure, especially if you have kids or pets.
  • Dusting: The space can collect dust quickly—set a routine to clean it regularly.
  • Accessibility: Store items you rarely use here, as it might be harder to reach.

Final Thoughts

The space above your kitchen cabinets is a hidden gem that, when used thoughtfully, can add storage, style, and personality to your kitchen. Whether you opt for practical storage solutions, decorative displays, or clever lighting, this often-forgotten area can make a big impact with minimal effort.

Give it a try—your kitchen will thank you!
