Install additional shelves or adjustable racks to make the most of the vertical space. Here are some examples of what you can store:
Spices: Install small shelves to store your spice jars, creating a compact spice rack.
4. Bulk Items and Kitchen Linens
You can use small kitchen cabinets above the fridge to store bulk items and kitchen linens:
Paper Towels: Stock up on paper towels and tissues in this space to free up other area
Bulk Staples: Keep extra pantry staples, such as flour, sugar, or rice, in airtight containers.
Kitchen Towels: Store kitchen towels, dishcloths, and cleaning rags here for easy access.
5. Seasonal Items and Special Occasions
The cabinets can be used to store items that you only need during specific seasons or special occasions:
Picnic Supplies: Store picnic blankets, outdoor dining accessories, and reusable plates for warm-weather outings.
Holiday Decor: Keep your holiday-themed serving dishes, table linens, and decorations here until needed.
Special Serving Dishes: Reserve space for special occasion dishes, like fine china or elegant serving platters.
6. Regular Maintenance and Safety
To make sure the cabinets remain functional and safe, remember to:
Periodically review the contents of the cabinets and declutter items you no longer need.
Use a sturdy step stool or ladder when accessing items, ensuring your safety.
Be cautious with heat-sensitive items, as the space above the fridge can get warm due to the appliance’s heat.
