Professional organizers, myself included, love to tell our clients to use their vertical space. When you mount an item on a wall, you’ll get more room on your counter or floor, and that item’s footprint won’t seem quite as large. You get bigger bang for your buck.

One untouched area of many homes is typically the space under the kitchen cabinets. It’s a great place to put things that you use fairly often but don’t want on your counter. Uncluttered counters = more space to prep for meals.

What can you mount under your kitchen cabinets?

• Radio/TV
• Can Opener
• Microwave
• Knives

Did you notice that last one? Yep, knives. Mounting them keeps them close by, out of reach of little hands, and you get a little more counter space. Check out the Knife Rack Pulldown by Merillat, and if you decide to buy it, let us know how you like it..
