Clever solutions for kitchen storage

The kitchen needs to have ample storage as this is the area where a lot of things have to be stored. Crockery, glasses, plates, pots, pans, and cutlery have to be safely tucked away after use so the kitchen would look spic and span. It wouldn’t do if the kitchen looks messy and dirty. The problem now is more storage places since cabinets built into the kitchen can only hold as much. We tend to buy some small contraptions or gadget that we feel would give convenience to the way we cook our food. These things need storage spaces as well. We’ve come up with some clever solutions for kitchen storage gleaned from designers.
