By using 100-yen shop items, you can significantly improve kitchen storage capacity without relying on expensive storage products. Here are 8 storage ideas you can put into practice right away.
What is kitchen storage with tension rods?
- Add more shelves：Simply place 2 to 3 rods at equal intervals to create storage space. When installing them, the key is to extend them 1 to 2 cm longer than the wall width and press them firmly into place
- Use dead space effectively：Install them at the top of a large storage shelf to hold pot lids and plastic wrap
- Combine them with hooks or wire netting：This creates visible hanging storage for cooking tools
How can file boxes and storage cases be used?
- Store dishes and cooking tools vertically：They are easier to take out and less likely to break
- Group food stock together：Sort by type so items can be taken out quickly
- Use wire boxes in the refrigerator：You can see what is inside, so there is no need to keep the door open for long
- Organize cleaning supplies：Separate them by where they are used so they are easy to grab immediately
How can you improve storage under the sink?
If you use under-sink organizers or stackable shelves from a 100-yen shop, you can make effective use of the space beneath the drainpipe. This is especially important in a small kitchen for one person, because the area under the sink is often the largest storage space.
