2. Extra work

Fix rails and knobs for hanging kitchen essentials to the side of cabinets and doors, and use magnetic strips for more than knives. They also work for smaller essentials like peelers and whisks.

3. Tall order

Draw the eye up with the likes of tall potted plants, a trio of vertical, framed prints or wallpaper with a vertical pattern.
