Using Vertical Space

Using the vertical space in your home can be tricky.  Often we don’t take the time to think about how to use that space better.

In this kitchen, the drawer was too full even though we’d already decluttered it.  In order to create more space in the drawer, we needed to use the vertical space on the inside of the cupboard door above the drawer.  Command strips are the best for this type of stuff.  They are easy to install and don’t damage the wall when you remove them.
