Repurpose It
Think outside the box when it comes to storage items: a magazine file mounted inside a cabinet door is exactly the right size for a lineup of kitchen wrap; covered enamel kitchen containers make excellent bins for cotton balls, swabs, and other essentials. When objects are made with care, it shows—and they can be put to use just about anywhere.

Stack It
Add dish risers to a pullout shelf to create tiers for pots, heavy casserole dishes, and bakeware. You’ll be able to fit more in a small space.

In a Cart
An industrial metal cart holds a lot of tableware—and can be wheeled directly to the table for setting. This example, filled with creamware pitchers, mixing bowls, and platters, belongs to London chef, shop owner, and bon vivant Alastair Hendy.
