Our advice Buying Guide
There’s nothing trickier than getting your kitchen storage sorted. For starters, there’s never enough space to store your stuff, even if you have a kitchen the size of a large cavern. And if you have a small galley, then you are probably ripping your hair out trying to get organized and curb the chaos.
On one side, you have pantries and cabinets that are crammed to the brim. But on the other side, you have unused corners and awkward alcoves lying unused. That’s where counter shelves come into the picture.
Kitchen counter shelves are an unconventional but resourceful way of maximizing every inch of your kitchen space. The best part is that you can add one just about anywhere in the kitchen. Sounds confusing? Here’s some help.
What types of counter shelves are there?
Grab a pen and a piece of paper and take a tour of your kitchen. Now jot down all the potential spaces that are lying unused. Above the window, under the cabinets, above the sink, the backsplash, corners, behind the doors, make a note of everything. You can find a counter shelf that will fit into each one of these.
- Floating shelves can be installed above the windows. It can be used for displaying your kitchenware as well as for lesser used items.
- Glass shelves installed under the cabinets are a smart storage solution that doesn’t interrupt the aesthetics, yet serves the purpose.
- The under-cabinet area can also be used for installing simple hanging shelving for cups, cookware and pans. Or a pegboard.
- Corner shelves offer an ingenious solution for utilizing unused corners in your home. It can be a simple, tiered wire frame shelf or something more eye-pleasing, like an étagère.
- You can also opt for swinging units like carousels and half-carousels for the corners.
- Pull-out units or larder units can be installed inside cabinets if you have unused space.
How to measure for kitchen counter shelves?
Irrespective of the type of shelving you select, measure the available space accurately. Make a note of the length, the width and the depth of the space. In case of awkward corners, you’d probably have to run some additional math. Corner shelves are usually shaped like a triangle or a semi-circle. You’d have to calculate the area for one shelf and then multiply it by the number of shelves.
What's the best material for a kitchen counter shelf?
The most popular materials for kitchen shelves are:
- Particleboard, for example, is an excellent pick for floating shelves. It can be finished to match the cabinets or other furniture pieces and will not cost an arm and a leg.
- Glass can be used for creating a variety of counter shelves.
- Metal, especially stainless steel with a chrome finish renders an industrial touch to a kitchen and works well with modern décor themes.
You can, by all means, select a counter shelf that matches the material of your cabinets, which most probably will be wood or MDF. It will most likely have to be custom made though and can cost a pretty penny, especially if you are installing multiple units. But if you are looking for a more practical solution, then select any material that’s durable, cost-effective and does the job.
