Before adding storage, remove the things you no longer use. Then group the daily essentials that need to stay nearby: spices, mugs, cooking tools, or breakfast items. A compact rack adds a second level of space and keeps the counter easier to clean. Use the upper shelf for the pieces you reach for often and the hooks for lighter tools that usually end up in a drawer.
Keep the working zone clear
Storage should support the way you cook, not take over the counter. Leave the area around your main prep space open.
