Easy Cabinet Makeover CLUTTER — CURED!

Maximize your kitchen’s storage potential with these smart strategies

1. “FILE” PAPER PLATES

Keep a mix of disposable dishes handy for no-fuss meals with a rack designed for paper bags. It features three different-sized compartments that sort plates large and small.

OUR PICK: White Paper Bag Holder, $7, organizeit.com

2. DIVVY UP DISHES

Stacking saucers and bowls on top of dishes seems like a space saver — until you have to dismantle the pile to get a salad plate. Instead, sort an entire set of dinnerware with this specially shaped rack.

Oversize servers can be tricky to store. The fix: Repurpose an under-shelf place-mat holder. These long wire racks can accommodate a platter, and the unit hooks onto your cabinet — no screws needed! OUR PICK: Grayline Place Mat Holder, $18, amazon.com

CORRAL THE LITTLE THINGS

Give cups, jars or even rolled napkins a lift with this on-door repurposed office grid. It puts easily lost items in full view. OUR PICK: Wall Street Small Cubicle Organizer, $37, walmart.com

4. SHOWCASE PRETTIES

Put your backsplash space to use with a wooden ledge made from a plank that can be cut to fit at the home center. Simply install with brackets for an instant shelf. OUR PICK: 4- x 1- x 6-inch board, about $4, cut to fit at your local Home Depot
