I absolutely love my home, but if there’s one thing I’d change, it’s the size of my kitchen – it’s tiny!

I don’t mean it is a modest-sized kitchen where there is still just enough space to sit down and eat a meal with some arm space and wiggle room, no! I mean, there is not even space for a dining table!

Easy Wall Storage Ideas For A Small Kitchen

So when it comes to small kitchens, I feel your pain when it comes to finding adequate storage solutions.

There are, of course, lots of tips and tricks to utilise extra space in your kitchen to appear larger and increase its functionality, but this post is all about using up that dead space – the wall.

So here are 5 extra wall storage ideas that are super easy and practical.

Easy Wall Storage Ideas For A Small Kitchen

1. Open Shelving

There is still a debate on open shelves vs wall cabinets in a kitchen, but for a small kitchen, installing open shelves is the better option.

Not only do open shelves on your kitchen walls provide additional storage, but they also add a visually appealing element to the space.

Now you have the opportunity to show off those pretty cups and glasses, style some cookbooks and decorative items or even add in some plants.

2. Pot Racks

Hanging your pots and pans on a rack is a practical solution to make them much easier to access.

If your small kitchen means you struggle with keeping it organised and clutter-free, hanging your pots from a wall will allow you to free up some cabinet space.

Choose a pot rack that complements your kitchen decor and consider adding hooks for hanging utensils and other kitchen tools, too.

3. Magnetic Knife Strips

Rather than taking up valuable counter space with a chunky knife block, consider mounting a magnetic knife strip on your kitchen wall.

This allows you to store your knives safely and conveniently within reach.

Magnetic knife strips come in various sizes and styles, and they can be easily installed on any wall.

4. Pegboards

Pegboards are becoming an increasingly popular option for a versatile storage solution.

Pegboards are visually appealing as well as they are functional, as you can arrange items in a way that adds a decorative element to your kitchen.

By attaching a pegboard to your kitchen wall, you can hang pots, pans, utensils, and even a small herb garden.

Use hooks, baskets, and shelves to further organise your items on the pegboard – easy!

5. Wall-Mounted Spice Racks

If you like cheffin’ it up in the kitchen with a collection of spices, they could be using up precious cabinet space, consider installing wall-mounted spice racks instead.

These racks can be mounted on the inside of a cabinet door, the kitchen wall or even on one side of the fridge, allowing you to keep your spices organised and easily accessible.

Wall-mounted spice racks come in various designs, including tiered shelves, magnetic strips, and rotating carousel-style options.

These 5 wall storage ideas for a small kitchen are your secret tools in the quest for clutter-free cooking space, so don’t let limited square footage cramp your culinary style.

With these clever hacks, you’ll be whipping up feasts and impressing guests in your newly organised space in no time!
