43 Kitchen Upgrades You’ll Feel Like A Certified Genius For Buying

9. An over-the-cabinet shelf to maximize kitchen storage space when it’s *extremely* limited. Use it to store cutting boards and other essentials out of sight, which is better than shoving them into a cabinet only for them to fall out when you open it!

Promising review: “This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I’ve been doing everything I can to make sure there’s a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it’s completely versatile — hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it’s great for renters and owners.” —Kerry

10. A space-saving sliding tray so your bulky coffee maker can be tucked away when it’s not in use. This is *much* better than shuffling a heavy appliance around — or worse, having it indefinitely take up way too much room.

Promising review: “Such a simple idea but oh how helpful this is. My husband pulls the coffeemaker out from under the cabinet when it’s brewing and forgets to put it back when it’s done so I do it. Such a simple idea yet this rolling thing is fantastic and with one finger I can roll it back under and there’s no sloshing. Even my husband, a born skeptic who thinks these kinds of things are just junk is showing people ‘hey look at this.’ LOL. This is a keeper.” —Kirsten
