How to Creatively Use the Space above the Kitchen Cabinets

Space, though available all over still hard to utilize. Yes, it is true when we talk about those awkward spaces in the kitchen - the corners, the space behind the racks, the hollow space between your refrigerator and dishwasher, and so on. The major amount of insincere and unoccupied space comes from your RTA kitchen cabinets and the space above them. We hardly get an idea to use that space creatively, thus it stayed there just to accumulate dust and dirt. We all know how important cabinets are for a kitchen. A major chunk of your kitchen space is covered by the RTA cabinets. In this case, if you don’t manage the space between, above, and under your cabinets, you are actually wasting a luxury.

But, you can prevent this loss by implanting these awesome tips to utilize those unoccupied corners and spaces.

• Go for the extra shelving

  If there is much of space between your cooktop and upper cabinets, we would recommend you to add extra shelves in between. By doing so, you will hit two birds by a single stone. How? We'll tell you how. First, you will get extra space for storage or keeping things such as utensils or crockery. Second, the void will be filled that will ultimately bestow a look of the precisely designed kitchen to your regular kitchen. In addition, you can showcase your work-of-art over there.

• Add a twinkle to your ceiling

  Have you ever cursed the good-for-nothing space between your upper cabinets and ceiling? If the answer is yes, then we have a solution for that. The reason behind many of you failed to utilize this space is that it is neither too spacious to put a shelf over there nor so less to ignore it completely. So you end up leaving it as the way it is and wait for next month to spout the dust from it. Well, you can utilize that space by placing LED light strips. They do wonders even in one of the most difficult-to-deal spaces.

• Payback to nature by putting plants over there

  Creeping plants are also another option to give your kitchen a unique appearance. They not only enhance the style-quotient of your those not-so-attention-grabbing places but will also do your part to pay back to nature. They can thrive with little or no attention and guess what, you get your own supply of oxygen right in your kitchen. What else could be more rewarding than this?

• Keep your motivations coming with a message

  You can either place a wall art stating something motivational or can design your own work-of-art with your favorite quote. Options are endless if you are willing to do. The kitchen is the place where one spends a major chunk of their time. A motivational quote right at the front will keep your spirits high the moment you'll enter the kitchen.

• Showcase your masterpieces

  Why keep those paintings sealed inside the chest when you can showcase them in your kitchen? Yes, take all your paintings and place them in your own gallery loft. You can also put your or your acquaintances’ work to give it a personal touch. Believe us, it will surely do wonders.

• Time for some wallpaper

  If you've ditched the idea to put wallpaper in your living rooms as your kids spoiled them the very next day despite a strong affinity for these colorful papers, then it’s high time to put them in those shallow spaces in between the cabinets. It will make those lifeless, inert spaces pop-out and vibrant. As a result, you will have a lively kitchen.

• Display your collection of finest crockery

  This space is ideal to display your finest collection of crockeries such as Fiesta teapots, pitchers, dishes, and vases. But don’t forget to take them down and give a nice dishwasher cleaning once in a month to keep them tidy and shiny.

• Time to play with your imagination

  Personalization is what makes us attach to things and spaces. Put up your gears and make something of your own. Many DIY ideas such as a customized photo frame or a collection of your best picture can change the face of your kitchen. If you're an avid traveler, you can make a frame displaying all your traveled places with the boarding passes or make your bucket list. Surely, this personalization will bring you little closer to your loved ones or to your passion every time to set into the kitchen.

• Use that lacy skirt well
  

  You have an attractive lacy skirt which you brought to your high school. You loved wearing it on your school days but you can’t wear it now, right? Then take your scissors and start your sewing machine and make a beautiful curtain out of it. Viola, nothing better can hide that space than this. Now, keep what you wanna to keep and just hide it by means of a stunning screen. Isn’t this great?

• Use it as auxiliary storage

  Storage is what we need at maximum in the kitchen. If you're falling short of storage space in your kitchen, then turn this space into your extra RTA kitchen cabinetry. Just put an interesting white cabinet door if you have white shaker kitchen cabinets or anything harmonizing with your kitchen interior and it's good to go.

Conclusion

A little creativity and effort can turn this most not-worth-mentioning space into the highlight of your kitchen. So, roll up your sleeve and start playing with your imagination and creativity. Good Luck!
