Space is important in your home, especially in your kitchen. And what you decide to do with that space can sometimes be challenging. There is a spot in your kitchen that can sometimes get overlooked, and that space is above your refrigerator. You can utilize this space so that it enhances your kitchen’s functionality and organization. Because the space above the refrigerator is not as easily accessible it is a great spot to put things that are not used as regularly as other items. In this blog, I want to give you some ideas of what you can do with that space to make it not only functional but aesthetically pleasing as well.
Storage Cabinet
It is never a bad idea to use extra space for needed storage. If you choose to continue your cabinets above the refrigerator, you will have plenty of room to store the things you would rather not see. You can store larger kitchen items such as blenders or toasters as well as less frequently used items that you still want to keep in your kitchen. It can also be a great space for seasonal items. Using this space for a storage cabinet can be great if you want to keep items close, but out of the eye.
Open Cabinet/Shelves
If you like the idea of using the space for storage but also like the look of an open cabinet, you can go with decorative and also functional items such as baskets or storage décor like clear jars with labels. Alternatively, you can add shelves and some of your favorite cook books to keep close but save counter space.
Wine rack
Another great idea is to use this space for things you love and collect such as wine. A wine rack can be a great touch to a kitchen and keeps all the bottles in reaching distance. It adds a touch of sophistication while keeping the bottles visible and easy to access.
Overall, if you have space over your refrigerator, use it! Any of these ideas can add to the function and style of your kitchen space.
