Take advantage of the space that your kitchen has, remove any unnecessary paintings or photographs that are on the wall, as this is taking up space where you could put up shelving. Other shelving that is already existing in your kitchen may benefit from being painted in a bright colour and after this try to arrange the everyday items that you use on the shelves, as if you were actually displaying them. Another idea is to fix up a pots and pans rack over your cooker, this will have the benefit of freeing up some cupboard space, whilst at the same time having your saucepans near to hand when you are cooking.
