How to place pan covers in the kitchen?

The roar of the lids will stop scaring you only if each of them has its own convenient place. We suggest you consider the following ways to organize dishes.

• An ideal place to place your inventory is a shallow (5 to 15 cm high) retractable drawer, which is located above or below the storage location of the dishes. If the kitchen set has the necessary retractable shelves, then feel free to load the lids in them.

Important! Place the dishes in one layer, otherwise - you will damage it, but you will not optimize the space in the kitchen, but rather clutter up the space.

• Another option is to place the dishes - hooks under the hanging drawers. If there is always something in the drawers themselves, then under them, as a rule, the space is empty. If the handles at the covers are not solid, but in the form of loops, then they can be hung on a hook.

The retractable container is a mesh shelf with stops moving along the runners. Such an organization will cost an order of magnitude more expensive than hooks and hangers, but it looks very stylish.
• A metal shelf will help to place inventory on the wall of a wall or floor cabinet. If there is very little space in the cabinet, then the shelf can be placed outside the furniture.
