Life on Wheels: How to Optimize Storage in Tiny Houses

As the population expands, especially in urban cities, the need to live cheap and alone has given rise to tiny living all across America. But as liberating as it can be to live on wheels and exploring the Land of Freedom, sometimes it can be difficult to squeeze your whole life in a tiny 800 sq. ft. space!

In fact, some people will tell you they had to leave behind 80% of their life and personal belongings to accommodate their remote lifestyle and yet they struggle with storage space.

So if you’re about to jump that RV bandwagon, here are some useful tips for you to maximize your storage space!

A Staircase Pantry!

It’s almost impossible to imagine a pantry in a small apartment, let alone in a tiny house on wheels. However, if the Chosen One could live under a staircase, so can your pantry!

The best way to utilize the staircase to your loft bed in a tiny house is to use it as a storage unit.  In most tiny houses, the staircase is usually in the kitchen area. You can install pull-out shelves in each of the steps of the staircase or just get one smooth sliding pull-out pantry shelf, custom-made to your needs.

This doesn’t clutter your kitchen counter-space and lets you enjoy culinary bliss even in the tiniest of spaces!

A Storage Unit in Disguise!

Any place can be a potential storage unit if you just believe! Tiny living spaces might come with challenges but it also opens gates for endless storage possibilities. From a staircase pantry to a closet under your loft bed; you can build in shelving wherever you like! All you need is a reliable handyman, instruction, and measurement guides, and you can install made-to-fit pull out shelves under your bed and futon!

Making the Most of Everything

In tiny houses, space is scarce so you can’t afford to let any of it go to waste! Usually a lot of potential storage space is wasted in the kitchen area, especially in the corner shelves because they’re not utilized to their full potential, due to their inaccessibility.

Wired to Succeed: Basking in the Benefits of Pull Out Wire Baskets!

Organizing cabinet space and storage units can be really frustrating, especially if you’re dealing with a small living space. You can’t afford to move out or even finance a full-scale remodel to accommodate your needs; so what’s the middle way here?

It’s pull-out wire baskets! Pull-out wire baskets can be custom-made to your requirements and have a lot of advantages around the house!

Here are a few of those advantages:

Easy Access!

Pull out wire baskets are installed all the way in and can be pulled all the way out. This gives easy and complete access to the entirety of your cabinet space. Sometimes, because it’s difficult to get to the very back of a cabinet or storage unit, we either don’t use it to its potential or stock the back with things that we only have seasonal use for.

However, with pull out wire baskets, you can store your everyday use pots and pans at the very end of a cabinet and still access them easily with a simple and smooth pull!

Complete Transparency!

Another incredible advantage of using pull out wire baskets around the house is that since they’re made of mesh wires, you can actually see the contents of the baskets every time you pull them out!

This is great for people who can’t put a tab on all their cabinets and are sometimes forgetful of where they put their stuff. With pull out wire baskets, they don’t have to worry about remembering the storage space of each and everything!

The transparency also helps prevent mistake and mix-ups in the kitchen! There are some culinary products that have completely different usage but come in similar capped containers. So when only the top of the container is visible to you might mix up your sardines with your canned corn!

Increased Durability!

Pull out wire baskets are generally sturdier than other storage solutions. Not only do they maximize your storage space but they provide your cabinets with more durability. A regular pull out wire basket can hold up to 40 kg in weight. So you can store all your heavy duty spice jars, pots and even everyday use kitchen appliances like your juicer in them, without worrying about them coming loose.

The best pull out wire baskets are made with heavy-duty chrome plating and complete extension ball bearing sides to bear the heaviest of loads around the house.

These high-quality pull out wire baskets are available at Slide Out Shelves, LLC where you can also find other storage and cabinetry solutions, like sliding pantry shelves, drawer shelves, blind pull out shelves and many more!

Creative Ways to Store Your Spices In the Kitchen Pantry

Sugar, spice, and everything nice may be the ingredients needed to create the “perfect little girls” but they’re also an essential part of every home.

The kitchen is your laboratory. It’s where you experiment with an array of ingredients, coming up with creative masterpieces. It’s where you put your heart and soul into each creation, hoping to come up with something brilliant; something that takes your breath away and tangos with your senses.

And without spices, creating the perfect dish would be impossible. And that’s why it’s so important to store your spices correctly!

Use Mason Jars

Using mason jars can help you keep yourself organized while working in the kitchen. These work perfectly for dry ingredients that have a long shelf life. Dry fruits, certain types of peppers, and even salt and sugar can be stored in mason jars.

Make sure to label everything so you’re not fumbling around, trying to figure out which spice is which. This’ll save you loads of stress and will speed things up when you’re in a hurry!

A Spice Rack

A spice rack is exactly what you need if you love experimenting with dishes and adding something new. Spice racks offer great storage options for an array of spices. So, you can store the spices in the rack, as well as herbs, and use them daily without any problems.

A Pull-Out Cabinet Organizer

One of the main reasons why homeowners struggle to utilize space in kitchen cabinets is because they don’t have anything to utilize the space with.

Investing in a pull-out cabinet organizer is a good idea because you’ll get more shelves and dividers. In addition, thanks to dividers, you can keep everything in one space but in separate shelves. This’ll make you more organized and even prevent mishaps.

When you’re not running around, trying to find the right ingredients and spices, you have less chances of injuring yourself or creating a mess.

But when it comes to the right pull-out shelves, go with products that are made with the highest-quality materials.

What Difference Wood Wooden Pull Out Shelves Make For Your Kitchen?

Wooden furnishings are often associated with the classic American home. Polished, sophisticated and simply beautiful; wooden furnishings offer a gorgeous rustic look, without subtracting from the beauty of the interior.

This is especially true when it comes to kitchen cabinets. But with stainless steel becoming a trend, it makes one wonder if investing in wooden pull-out shelves is worth it.

The million dollar question is: why should you invest in wooden pull-out shelves? And what difference will they make to your kitchen?

Let’s take a look.

Classy, Unique, and Individual

Unlike stainless steel and concrete, the beauty of wood is that it’s unique and adds its own charm. This is because there are various types of woods available to create exceptional and intricate cabinet designs.

Teak, cherry wood, oak, and mahogany are four of the most popular choices. Cherry wood and mahogany are redwoods that come with a beautiful rustic look. They have a unique texture and appearance.

With teak and oak, the beauty is that they’re light in color and create a “minimalistic” look that complements the overall interior of homes.

Each wood has its own shape, design, pattern and charm. Each wood has its own personality.

Unlimited Design Options

The beauty of wood is that you can mold it, transform it, and shape it into any design you want. Whether it’s a cookie cutter shape, or glass with wood, there are plenty of options you can choose from. With pull-out shelves, you can get a D-shaped lazy Susan as well. You can even go with a pull-out shelf that has a wire basket. The options are endless! You can add dividers to the cabinets and drawers as well. This is an option that isn’t common with stainless steel cabinets. 

Low-Maintenance 

Another perk of wooden pull-out shelves is that you don’t have to worry about maintenance. They’re made of the best materials and woods. So, you don’t have to worry about the cabinets breaking, getting damaged, being eaten by termites, or developing mold. 

A special finish is applied to the cabinets so they’re durable. They won’t lose their texture or shine and will last for years to come.

If you’re looking for kitchen storage solutions in Arizona for your home, Slide Out Shelves LLC has everything you’re looking for.

How to Efficiently Clean Your Kitchen Cabinets

Considering your patience and the way you experiment with different recipes, it’s no wonder your kitchen cabinets are messy. In fact, with the amount of spices and herbs you’ve accidently spilled, it’s amazing you don’t run out of essentials sooner.

But this isn’t to make you feel bad!

As any food lover will tell you, it’s okay to get a little messy sometimes. You just have to be sure that the mess doesn’t overwhelm you. And that’s what you’re going through right now.

So here’s the deal. With some help from the experts at Slide Out Shelves LLC, we’ve come up with a few tips on cleaning out your kitchen cabinets and maintaining their squeaky clean look.

Let’s Start…

Clear Out the Clutter

But organize it accordingly so you don’t mix things up.

Separate your baking ingredients, spices, herbs, additional garnishes then separate that by container type, glass, steel, plastic, pouches. Next, check each product and toss out the expired ones. If you have any ingredients that you’ve only used once or twice, either donate them or keep them aside so you can use them up later. Any products you don’t have enough of, dispose of them and keep the containers aside.

Your goal is to compartmentalize your cabinet and keep things at a minimum. There’s no need to keep that espresso powder from your chocolate cake mistake from years’ back.

Clean Them Thoroughly

You’ll need a mixture of diluted dish soap and water, some cleaning cloths and a cabinet cleaner. Clear away any cobwebs or dust you see then wipe down the interior and exterior surface with your regular cleaner. Typically, kitchen cabinets are made from plastic laminate, wood, vinyl and metal, so you should have no problem with stains and marks. Make sure to touch up on the edges, the nooks and crannies and handles. Just remember to not use too much water; it might damage your cabinets.

Consider More Storage in Your Cabinets

Find pull-out cabinet organizers for your kitchen from a reliable source and either have them installed by a professional or try your hand at it. Either way, make sure to find the best rated organizers so you don’t have to worry about weighing them down later. These and other sliding shelves can open up a lot of space in your kitchen cabinets, so even if you have a smaller kitchen and not enough space, these might just work as the solution to your storage problem.

Do Not Lose Against the Thick Grease Stains

Grease can build up over time and can damage your cabinet material so don’t leave it sitting there. With such stains, your best bet is to use a bristled brush and a combination of water and baking soda. Keep your movement gentle and start brushing until the grease starts dissipating. Also, if you have a distinct finish on your cabinets, you might want to keep a magic eraser at hand to keep those scratch marks at bay.

Ready to Start?

In addition to cleaning and maintenance, your storage options can play a big role in helping you keep your kitchen clean. Talk to a professional from Slide Out Shelves LLC to discuss your options and follow their advice on how to install sliding shelves in kitchen cabinets.

With these tips and the right storage, your kitchen cabinets will definitely get the love and care they deserve.

Clever Ways of Organizing Your Kitchen Cabinets

You are what they call, a true gastronomist. With your kitchen shelves almost bursting at the seams and your mind overflowing with creative culinary ideas, you want your cooking space to be a true food lover’s dream.

Only, with so much experimentation, you feel like your cabinets are, let’s say, at their last leg.

With bottles of ingredients galore and pots and pans of all sizes imaginable, your cabinets are bearing the brunt of your cooking adventures quite bravely. But you know it’s only a matter of time before they give in. So what should you do, organization-wise?

Here are a few clever ideas that might just come in handy!

Install a Pull-Out Spice Rack

Available in a number of sizes and within your price range, spice racks will not just keep your spices organized; they’ll keep them visible and easy-to-access, which can come in handy if you’re at a crucial moment of a cooking endeavor.

Get Special Racks for Your Pots and Pans

Made-to-fit pull out shelves and wire pull-out baskets are usually installed in the pantry, but you could add them to the space under your cabinets so you don’t have to go too out of your way to get them.

Great for smaller kitchens, these pull-out shelves keep your pots protected and within reach, not to mention organized, which is excellent news for bigger families that need sustenance throughout the day.

Get Your China Out of the Way

Your mugs, plates, and dishes need a place of their own. Instead of keeping them crowded in the front cabinets near the stove or the sink, keep the lesser-used dishes away and hidden in under-the-counter cabinets to make more space.

Install a Lazy Susan for those Corner Cabinets

Lazy Susans aren’t just great additions for your spice rack! Instead of storing that useless crockery in your corner cabinets, get a D-shaped Lazy Susan installed and store your everyday-utensils and pans so they’re nearby. This’ll not only give you better use of an otherwise bland space, it’ll add character to your cabinets too!

Get Drawer Inserts

No more rummaging around for a fork or a spoon! Use larger inserts and keep your cutlery in its own little sections, and make sure to put your knives in a separate drawer using a knife block insert. As for the little things like a random junk drawer, strainer, the odd rubber bands, and measuring cups, use small boxes so that they don’t get in the way when you open your drawer.

Keep a Junk Drawer

With a creative space such as yours, there will always be little things here and there that’ll need storage. Designate a drawer just for them and keep it organized using small cutlery trays or small boxes. This way, even with your junk, it’ll still be useful!
