I'd try and fit things you mentioned in drawers.

A little confused since most of the items you listed don't go on walls anyways. Can we see some pictures so that we can give better advice?

Do you lack upper cabinets? Or are there maybe windows that won't allow for cabinets or shelving in the kitchen? I'm a little confused with what the problem is, so to offer a solution we just need a picture or a few more details!

The kitchen has 4 walls of large windows behind all the countertops and appliances. There are a few drawers and cabinets below, but not a lot of space. There are no upper cabinets or any way to attach shelves. I'm trying to think of functional ways to use the space.

How about a better home design to start with. Like no kitchen in the conservatory. Put the eating area there.

You need to post diagrams if you want real work usable suggestions.

Could some of the items be stored in a freestanding storage unit or non-permanent island located near the kitchen? It sounds like a very interesting kitchen!

Our kitchen is rather small with virtually no wall space, but cabinets above the counters. I've taken to storing everything in the cabinets, and thinning down excess in order to make it work. Depending on the existing storage and how much that you have that you use on a regular basis, that may or may not work. A friend of mine who has a small kitchen stores infrequently used items in some nice cabinets she has in other parts of the house.

Gotcha. I'm sure it's beautiful with all those windows, but you're right, you have to retrain yourself on how to organize those "upper cabinet" things. There are free standing mug racks and cute utensil jars and containers, but you just want to make sure you don't clutter that beautiful counter top up too much. Try to reorganize the base cabinets and purge what you can, and maybe set up a coffee bar in a different part of the kitchen complete with machine and mugs? Add free standing buffets in the dining room for all your serving items so that everyday things can live in those base cabinets. Try to compartmentalize and maximize the storage you have!

I know it's not what you want to hear but maximizing the storage you currently have and purging from your kitchen stuff is the answer as indicated above.

I didn't unpack all my kitchen things when I moved in because I've been slowly remodeling each room. At Thanksgiving, I opened one box to find a specific item but I didn't find it. What I did realize was that there are tons of gadgets and platters and serving bowls in all those boxes and I've successfully lived for over a year and even entertained at Thanksgiving without any of them.

You might have a family of 6 and maybe, you're a gourmet cook but it's worth considering.

Good luck!

have you thought about the shelves that are hung from the ceiling....you can add storage baskets

here is on in the laundry room but has storage baskets as well
