10 Above-The-Sink Shelves That Will Add Storage To A Small Kitchen

Homeowners with a small kitchen typically share the same problem; a lack of storage space. Most of the time, a smaller kitchen won't have an island that provides storage underneath, and there typically aren't many cabinets either. So, which area of the kitchen can you turn to next when you're in need of extra space? Well, there's usually just enough room right above your sink to install an innovative storage system. Also, there are many designs to choose from made of a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, wood, wrought iron, and more. 

With many options available, you will not have trouble finding something to complement your hardware or other finishes, but finding the perfect shelving system for your kitchen can quickly become stressful with so many choices. Therefore, we have found 10 options that will act as a crucial storage component and a stylish addition for your kitchen space.
