Do you have a bunch of small appliances sitting out on your countertops? Are you like many other homeowners and hate the clutter of seeing everything sitting out every single minute of every single day? It’s so nice to walk into a perfectly clean and well-organized kitchen, but then you need your blender, mixer, food processor, toaster, or some other small appliance. Thankfully, we have a better way to store your small appliances that doesn’t involve throwing them out and living without them. And, most of it doesn’t involve a lot of work either.

Here are four ingenious options for hiding those small appliances:

Appliance Cabinets

If you have never had an appliance cabinet inside your kitchen, you do not know what you are missing. These cabinets can hold all your small appliances and keep your countertops looking clean and clutter free. We recommend installing a few different appliance cabinets throughout your kitchen, so that one doesn’t get too cluttered or full. This will also allow you to give each one a purpose and dedicate certain appliances to them all. Another idea is to keep everything that you need for a wonderful cup of coffee or tea right in the appliance cabinet next to your coffee pot.

Appliance Cubbies

Appliance cubbies are quite similar to appliance cabinets, except they do not have doors. This idea works well in an open concept kitchen, where you can see where everything is. The good news is that all your small appliances will be off your countertops. However, you will still be able to see them with this concept.

Appliance Cubbies and Cabinets

It is always possible to do a combination of both cubbies and cabinets in your kitchen. The cubbies may work well for items that you use quite often, like your coffee pot or toaster. Other items like your KitchenAid mixer might be better off in a cabinet.

Appliance Pantry

An appliance pantry is a great way to store all your small appliances in one place, however, there is a downside. The problem with the appliance pantry is that you will need to continuously go and get the small appliance that you need and then put it away when you are finished with it. This might not be a problem for some items, but we are not sure about needing to bring our coffee pot out every single morning when we want a cup of coffee. We don’t think it would live in our appliance pantry for too long.
