The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, and is one of the busiest rooms during the day: all meals are prepared there, often eaten there too, and therefore it is easy for there to be a bit of mess and untidiness in this area.

This becomes even more evident when the various utensils or ingredients used most often do not have a dedicated place to be stored in and therefore end up being moved from one place to another. To tidy up, you need to take advantage of the surfaces and areas that may not have yet been equipped with the right equipment. Take a look at the solutions below, they might come in handy!:

Small, compact shelves can be mounted under any fairly sturdy shelf using hooks. Maybe they can accommodate spices, and ladles or other utensils can also be hung next to them.

Another great resource to be used on portions of any free walls - especially when you do not want to clutter the space with wall units - are the tracks. There are now many different models - even those that look like metal bars with a minimal design to which you can attach baskets and storage compartments that have compatible hooks.

Otherwise, an entire wall can be equipped with the more classic and timeless metal rod tracks.

And don't underestimate the convenience of a furnishing solution which is taken from work spaces: using perforated panels.

They can be painted in various colors and even used on a single part of the wall: thus they become an element that not only offers space for storing objects, but also contributes to the aesthetic of the kitchen's fittings.

Shelves never go out of fashion: to make them look more modern can be achieved by the types of brackets we choose that support them, or rather their - apparent - absence.

What if you build a wooden panel with small shelves as wide the side of the refrigerator, so that you can also take advantage of this unused space for storing objects?

In a ktichen unit, you can then consider using many different solutions, as well as mounting an extra metal shelf, to which you can hang some hooks in order to arrange pots, pans and more.

The open portions of the walls are also the ideal places to mount small spice racks.

For those who know how to work with wood, one can build many different types of spice racks, and a cord stretched from one side to the other will be enough to prevent the jars from falling off the shelves.

Sometimes in a corner of the kitchen there is also a broom and other cleaning tools: tidy them up by hanging them where they won't cause a bother!

Have you ever come up with brilliant solutions to keep your kitchen tidy and in order?
