If you have these cupboards above your fridge, you had better know what they’re used for… I had absolutely no idea

The cupboards above your fridge are often overlooked, but they can be incredibly useful for a variety of storage needs. Here are some great ideas on how to make the most of this space:

1. Infrequently Used Kitchen Appliances: Store small kitchen appliances like food processors, blenders, waffle makers, and popcorn machines. This keeps them out of the way but still accessible when needed

2. Baking and Cookware Accessories: Items such as baking sheets, cake pans, roasting pans, and specialty bakeware (like bundt pans and springform pans) can be stored here to free up more accessible cabinet space
3. Seasonal and Special Occasion Items: Holiday dishes, special serving platters, picnic supplies, and decorations are perfect for this space since they are only used occasionally【111†source】【112†source】.
4. Bulk and Large Items: Store bulk items like paper towels, extra pantry staples (flour, sugar, rice), and large kitchen gadgets (like an electric griddle or a lobster pot) in this area to reduce clutter in your main cabinets.

5. Specialty Items and Linens: Keep specialty glassware, cake stands, cookie cutters, and kitchen linens like dish towels and pot holders neatly organized above the fridge
6. Organizational Tools: Use baskets or bins to group similar items together, making it easier to find what you need and keep the space tidy
