Keeping a tidy home helps keep your mind clear, and kitchens are no exception. One often neglected space is the cupboard above your refrigerator, which many think is too small or inconvenient but can actually be very useful.
This area works best for things you don’t use daily—like blenders, food processors, or other appliances you only bring out now and then.
You can also store canned goods or baking ingredients here since they last a long time and don’t need to be immediately accessible.
Got a few cookbooks cluttering shelves? The upper cupboard can be a great spot to keep them safe and out of the way.
Pantry staples and spices fit well here too. Using a small spice rack makes them easy to find.
If you buy kitchen towels in bulk, these can be tucked away in the cabinet without taking up much space elsewhere.
For delicate dishes or fancy china that aren’t used often, placing them up high keeps them safe from children.
Just be cautious when lifting items down and remember the fridge gives off some heat, so avoid keeping perishable items in this spot.
When organized properly, your fridge’s top cupboard can help you maximize your kitchen space in a smart way.
