Move Stuff Out

If you are low on space in the kitchen, move certain things out of it. Many of us store wine and liquor next to the fridge, but a hot and steamy kitchen is actually a far from ideal place to store alcohol. Unless you do most of your entertaining in the kitchen anyway, consider moving your drinks, serving glasses and paraphernalia like bottle openers to your main living space. Invest in a nice bar cart to keep everything together. You’ll free up space in the kitchen and make it easier to serve guests when entertaining. Do the same with special occasion dishes or kitchen items you only use once or twice a year (store those in armoires or dressers).
