Unless you're comfortably over the six-foot mark, reaching your high kitchen cabinets will be a challenge - the problem is, hard-to-reach storage is a reality for many of us. The key to making your kitchen more efficient, say organizers, is to use them to store things you don't use regularly.
There really is nothing more frustrating than cooking a meal and having to hoist yourself onto your counter to reach the tinned tomatoes in your top cabinet (if you're anything like me, usually in a very in-elegant fashion). Or, worse still, being forced to swallow your pride and ask a taller member of the family to reach it for you. If you want a convenient kitchen that works to your needs, you'll need to think carefully about what you store up there.
