In part one, we discussed how you can use the cupboard space above your fridge to store kitchen appliances. In this section, we’ll explore some creative ways to use this area for storing food items and other kitchen essentials.

Canned Goods and Baking Ingredients

One of the best things about canned food is how long it stays fresh. If you’re tight on pantry space, why not store your canned goods above the fridge? These items are perfect for this area because they don’t need to be accessed regularly, and they stay fresh for long periods, even if you forget they’re up there for a while.

Similarly, baking necessities like flour, sugar, and spices can be stored in this space. You can also add a small spice rack to help organize your seasonings. Just make sure you have a stable step stool nearby to access these items safely when you need them.

Storing Recipe Books

Do you have a collection of recipe books that you rarely use but don’t want to part with? The cupboards above your fridge are an excellent spot for them. Since many of us have memorized our go-to recipes, we don’t need to pull out these books often. Keeping them up high ensures they stay clean and organized, yet still accessible when you’re feeling adventurous in the kitchen.

Stay tuned for part three, where we’ll discuss how to use this space for storing fine china, kitchen towels, and more.
