Bulk Staples: Store flour, sugar, and rice in airtight containers for long-term storage.
Paper Towels: Keep extra rolls here to free up space elsewhere.
Kitchen Towels: Use this cabinet to store kitchen towels, dishcloths, and extra cleaning rags.
5. Seasonal and Special Occasion Items

Picnic Supplies: Keep picnic blankets, outdoor dishes, and reusable utensils here for summer outings.
Special Serving Dishes: Reserve this space for fine china or serving platters you use on special occasions.
6. Maintain Safety and Accessibility
To keep these cabinets functional and safe:
Regularly Declutter: Periodically go through the cabinet and remove any items you no longer use.
Use a Step Stool: Always use a sturdy step stool when reaching for items up high.
Avoid Heat-Sensitive Items: Remember, the space above the fridge can get warm, so avoid storing items that might be affected by the heat.
