The kitchen is the heart of the home. From your kitchen come sights, scents and sounds that signal the appetite. Here you are nourished and provided for, no matter whether you are dining on a frozen entrée heated in the microwave or a five-course homemade meal.
One of the biggest clutter contributors in your kitchen is caused by your pots and pans. Your kitchen might come complete with plenty of cabinets, cupboards and drawers, and some may not. Whatever your unique situation, it's how you utilize the space you have and how you discover ways to add more storage solutions (as needed) that makes a difference.
Here are 7 unique solutions for taming the clutter created by the pots and pans in your kitchen.
