Tablecloths, napkins, and placemats.
Paper towels or disposable plates and cups.
7. Hideaway for Miscellaneous Items
This is a great place to store items you don’t want on display:

Extra cleaning supplies: Dish soap, sponges, or trash bags.
Backup essentials: Batteries, light bulbs, or first-aid kits.
Tips for Maximizing Space
Use Bins or Baskets: Group similar items together in labeled bins for easier access.
Install Pull-Out Shelves: These make it easier to retrieve items from the back.
Declutter Regularly: Revisit the contents every few months to keep it organized.
Step Stool Accessibility: Keep a small, foldable step stool nearby to safely reach the space.
What to Avoid Storing Above the Fridge
Heat-Sensitive Items: Avoid storing chocolate, oils, or electronics, as the area above the fridge can get warm.
Heavy Items: Don’t store anything that’s hard to lift safely.
Reimagine the Space
If you’re not using the cupboard for storage, consider creative alternatives:

Decorative Display: Remove the doors and display attractive dishes or decorative items.
Pet Supplies Zone: Store food or treats for your furry friend.
Mini Herb Garden: Use the space to house potted herbs (with proper lighting).
By optimizing the cupboards above your fridge, you can make your kitchen more functional, organized, and efficient. These once-forgotten spaces can become a valuable part of your home! ✨
