#### 3. **Appliances You Rarely Use**

Keep that waffle maker, fondue pot, or ice cream machine out of the way until you need them.

Don’t let your favorite cookbooks clutter up counters — store them safely above, where they stay clean and organized.

Grandma’s teacups or heirloom dishes that you want to keep but don’t use daily can be stored up top, protected and out of the way.

Need a place to store sharp tools, medicines, or breakables? These out-of-reach cupboards are perfect for keeping unsafe items away from small hands.
