Kitchen wall storage & organisers

Let your stuff hang out in the kitchen with some IKEA kitchen wall storage. Wall storage and hanging storage offers a great way to keep your kitchenware within reach and on display.

Kitchen wall storage that clears the clutter and shows off your style 

Busy mornings. Big cooking sessions. Non-stop snack requests. The kitchen is where a lot happens – and the right kitchen wall storage can make it all feel a lot more manageable. By lifting everyday essentials off your worktops and onto the wall, you free up space, stay organised and keep the things you love within easy reach. From flexible rails to sleek shelves and clever hooks, there’s a whole world of smart, stylish storage waiting to be discovered. 

What kind of kitchen wall storage should I choose? 

That depends on your space – and your stuff. If you’re short on cupboards but big on ingredients, open shelves are a great way to show off jars, oils and spices while keeping them handy. Need somewhere to stash utensils or tea towels? Look to kitchen hanging storage – rails, hooks and containers you can mix and match to suit your needs. And for smaller kitchens or rental homes, wall-mounted organisers are a practical win: easy to install, easy to move, and surprisingly roomy. The best bit? Everything’s right where you can see it – no more rummaging through drawers or knocking over the olive oil to get to the pepper grinder. 

How can I make wall mounted kitchen storage work in my home? 

Think vertically. Walls are often underused in kitchens, but they offer loads of potential. Mount storage above worktops to keep tools close to your prep zone, or create a coffee corner with mugs, filters and beans all lined up and ready to go. In tight spaces, a narrow rail with a few hanging baskets can hold everything from cutlery to herbs. And if you’re after a more curated look, match your wall mounted kitchen storage to your fittings – black metal for a modern edge, natural wood for a softer, Scandi feel. Many pieces in this range are modular too, so you can add to them over time as your needs (or your kitchen gadgets) grow. 

Is kitchen hanging storage just for utensils? 

Not at all. Yes, it’s brilliant for ladles, spatulas and that one whisk you use for everything. But it can also hold pot lids, cutting boards, scissors, foil rolls, even little potted plants. Some systems include containers that click onto rails – perfect for everything from spice packets to crayons (if the kitchen table doubles as the arts and crafts zone). It’s a playful, flexible solution that works as hard as your kitchen does – and looks good doing it.

Kitchen wall storage shelves

Adding a few kitchen shelves to your walls is a great way to save cupboard space while keeping your things readily available. Here are a few tips on how to use shelves in your kitchen.

Decorate with kitchen supplies

Open shelves offer plenty of storage opportunity, while also allowing you to decorate your kitchen. Keep a few herb pots, add a cup hanger and put an ornately designed tea box on your wall shelf and you’ll double up on both convenience and style.

Exhibit your cookware

Do you have some particularly nice-looking kitchenware? Why not keep it out in the open! A great way to display your cookware is to add a storage shelf with a rail to your kitchen wall. Complete the set with some S hooks, and you can easily hang your most stylish pots and pans in full view – making them a practical part of your kitchen design.

Keep your spices handy

Every kitchen needs a well-stocked spice rack. With a wall-mounted spice rack, you have a complete overview of your entire stock, making it easy to make split second decisions while cooking. Also, you add a dynamic range of colour to your kitchen, from the dark reds of powdered paprika to the bright yellow of an aromatic curry blend.

Boxes, baskets and containers

Boxes baskets and containers make it easy to keep things organised in the kitchen.

With a nice box or basket, you can keep kitchen necessities within reach and out of sight. Get a basket to keep common ingredients such as lemons, onions or garlic. Maybe use a box to neatly store sponges, kitchen cloths and a brush for quick washing up.

A hanging container next to your stove or cooktop can provide easy access to your favourite cooking utensils, so they’re within instant reach when you want to add a little flair. Or maybe add a condiment stand to your setup, ensuring your ketchup and hot sauce is always at hand.
