What are some practical solutions for hiding or organizing small appliances in an apartment kitchen?

1. Utilize cabinet space: Install pull-out shelves or organizers in cabinets to maximize space and easily access small appliances.
2. Use appliance garages: Install an appliance garage or a tall cabinet with a retractable door to hide small appliances when not in use.
3. Create a portable appliance station: Use a rolling cart or a movable cabinet to store small appliances and easily move them around when needed.
4. Hang them up: Utilize wall space and hang small appliances on hooks or a pegboard to keep them neatly organized and out of the way.
5. Use under-cabinet mounting: Install under-cabinet shelves or racks to store small appliances underneath the upper cabinets, providing easy access and keeping the countertop clutter-free.
6. Utilize kitchen cart or island: Invest in a kitchen cart or island with built-in shelves or drawers to store small appliances and keep them organized and easily accessible.
7. Use magnetic strips: Attach magnetic strips to the inside of a cabinet door and use magnetic containers or holders to store small metal appliances such as knives, peelers, or timers.
8. Maximize vertical space: Utilize the vertical space above cabinets or on open shelving by using baskets or storage cubes to neatly store small appliances.
9. Use stackable containers: Invest in stackable and modular containers to store smaller appliances like blenders, mixers, or food processors. This keeps them organized while utilizing minimal space.
10. Invest in multifunctional appliances: Consider purchasing appliances that serve multiple purposes, such as a toaster oven that can also broil or bake. This helps reduce the number of appliances needing storage space.
