This rack for pots and pans is a lifesaver. If you have some free wall space, do yourself a favor. My pots and pans were taking up the space of a WHOLE CABINET. I currently have my cereals and cookies there, and they are thriving!
If you feel like hanging your pots is too much of a step, you can still repurpose this idea and hang:
- Kitchen Utensils
- Cutting Boards
- Mugs
Alternatively, make sure your pots and pans have holes in the handles! One of my non-stick pan does not have a hole and I wasn’t able to hang it. 🙁
2. Fruit Macrame Hammock
THIS IS THE ONLY THING YOU NEED FROM THIS LIST. Honestly, if you need a storage idea for your small kitchen, it’s this.
It’s handmade, it’s functional and most importantly, it’s cute AF.
Just make sure you don’t place it too close to the stove or else you’ll end up with a somewhat peculiar fruit flavor. Been there, done that.
