  • Rotate Seasonally: Store holiday or seasonal items here and swap them out as the year goes on.

  • What NOT to Store Above Your Fridge

    • Everyday items you reach for frequently — it’s inconvenient and could be unsafe.
    • Heavy items that could fall and cause injury.
    • Perishable food — this space is often warmer due to heat from the fridge below.
