Think
about using the space above the worktop to store and display
the more decorative items like plates and glassware.
Plates
can be on a special rack, which, as they will not be on
top of each other, will also help to help to avoid chipping.
Mugs and cups can be hung from pegs or placed on shelves
for handy display. Frequently used utensils can be hung
on a rail over the main working area for ease of use but
again, do not overdo this.
Spice
racks to look good over worktops.
Just
bear in mind that any items on open display will pick up
grease and dust and will need to be kept clean. Glass cupboard
doors would reduce this need.
Try
to use different storage options to introduce variety into
your kitchen. Other areas of our site can help in this respect.
