Kitchen on Display

This past weekend I took the first step in our NY apartment hunt and explored some neighborhoods in Brooklyn we’re considering.  We saw the cutest eateries, shops, and food markets; I’m beyond excited to find our new home in this area! Unlike our old apartment, our kitchen will likely not have as much space.  So lately I’ve been thinking about ways I can get creative in storing all my kitchen stuff, which let’s be honest, makes up the majority of my personal belongings.

I love the idea of using kitchen tools and utensils as decorative pieces.  Instead of shoving everything into a cupboard, you keep a handful of items at arm’s length, providing both convenience and aesthetic appeal.  Below are a few things that are inspiring my plan of attack when it comes to our kitchen storage.  What else would you display?

    I use one of your ideas. I have a red le crueset heart shaped pot and tea kettle on display.

    I always love a hanging pot rack but that’s a lot of hardware for a rental. Amazing space saver though.

    • I’m definitely considering it! Totally worth buying it and having someone else hang it :)

    I love this. I have pots hanging all over our kitchen (okay, just on the one kitchen cart), and I just bought a spice rack for the wall. Next up: one of those magnetic knife strips – with an extra strong magnet so I can’t knock anything over.

    I love that magnetic knife strip! I have a plain one, but I love the idea of a pretty decorated one! I also keep my Le Creuset pots out on the stove. They’re too heavy to keep in the drawer and they look so pretty.
