The $12 IKEA Find That Doubles the Cabinet Storage in My NYC Apartment
Briefly

Moving into a new apartment often reveals quirks, such as the distinct heights of kitchen cabinets, which can turn simple storage into a challenge. In my case, I found my unusually tall cabinet space to be a source of frustration. Even though I love my new apartment, reaching half of my cabinets without a chair takes effort, leading me to seek practical solutions to maximize storage.
The VARIERA shelf insert from IKEA has significantly improved my kitchen organization. For just $11.99, it essentially doubles my accessible cabinet space by allowing me to stack my plates efficiently. With a minute's assembly and a pretty floral design, it adds both functionality and style to my kitchen while preventing the hassle of removing multiple layers of dishes to find what I need.
I'm exploring using the VARIERA shelf for espresso cup storage as well, given my love for morning coffee rituals. Enhancing my cabinet organization with clever products not only addresses the challenge of accessible storage but also makes everyday tasks like brewing espresso more enjoyable and efficient.
While I’m still in search of a step ladder to access all my tall cabinets, the VARIERA shelf insert has proven to be an invaluable addition to my kitchen. It represents a smart, simple solution to a common household problem, affirming that sometimes, even small changes can lead to significant improvements.
