• For more work space, use a portable island. Easily wheeled to where you need it, an island is great for apartment dwellers because it can go with you if you move.

• Try slide-out caddies to organize your pots and pans. Not only do they keep everything viewable and in one place, but the slide-out feature provides extra ease.

• Wire organizing systems or individual baskets make food easy to see in your pantry. Available in a variety of colors and sizes, they brighten up any plain pantry.
