PROBLEM: I’ve run out of storage space in my kitchen. What can I do?
SOLUTION: Mount open shelves, or a plate rack like this one, to hold your everyday dishes and glassware. The new shelving doesn’t have to match your existing cabinets—it can be an attractive complement instead, costing as little as $20 per shelf. Plus, having plates and glasses at your fingertips makes setting the table a breeze.
Storage on the cheap: Wall shelf unit (13 3/4" W x 14" D x 9 1/2" H) $30; bedbathandbeyond.com.
