It’s difficult to store food if your kitchen is small and short on cupboard space. You either have to extend your kitchen to have more space, or you look for simple and inexpensive solutions. But storage space is only part of the equation. The other part is being able to find what you want when you want it. We’ve probably all experienced deep shelves where only a torch and a lot of shuffling can locate the item you’re seeking.
Narrow, well planned shelves offer immediate visibility but where can you place those narrow shelves without losing wall space? The answer is on the back of your cupboard doors.
As this home-owner knows, it’s a much cheaper and more immediate solution than an expensive kitchen redesign. You can buy shelving similar to this but the cost was more than what she’s willing to pay. She decided to make her own. The result is this clever spice rack that hangs on her pantry door. This idea saves storage space inside the pantry, and makes it easy for you to find and access the spices you need.
The materials used for this project are fairly cheap. And it only requires basic tools and woodworking knowledge. You can finish this project in a couple of hours given that you have all the materials and tools needed.
