For some people, keeping a bread box in the kitchen might feel a bit outdated. After all, it's just as easy to keep bread in the bag it comes in and store it in the cupboard or on top of the fridge. Still, bread boxes are extremely versatile, and you can even use a double-layer version to store more than ordinary sliced bread. 

This kitchen accessory can easily be filled with anything from your favorite baked goods to kitchen utensils that take up valuable counter space. Investing in options like JANSNIMEN's double-layer bread box also provides additional storage options for all your kitchen items, thanks to the flat top. From teapots to coffee beans, this is a perfect place to keep almost anything.

This hack is best reserved for kitchens without pantries or minimal cupboard space. Still, getting a double-layer bread box for your kitchen can be a nifty countertop storage solution for anyone. On top of its practical benefits, this item can also bring a cozy vibe to your kitchen, as it resembles the welcoming pastry window of a bakery. For the best results, consider Ree Drummond's practical decor tip for avoiding kitchen clutter and pick a bread box that matches the aesthetic of your kitchen.

No matter how many kitchen gadgets you buy to optimize your space, each one, ironically enough, sacrifices counter space. To us, investing in a double-layer bread box is still the best choice. 

Adding a bread box to your countertop is similar to adding shelves to a cabinet. Since it has two compartments, you can use the different shelves for different purposes and dedicate each layer to different items. For example, one can be for breakfast pastries, snacks, and fruit, and the other can become a creative way to store baking supplies. It can also become a smart way to store your paper towels. The choice is up to you.

If you've tried other storage solutions, such as a series of baskets or bins, you probably noticed that the circumference of these items took up quite a bit of space. Plus, while you can put items inside these things, you can't put anything on top. Ultimately, when you add a bread box to your countertop, you're adding another cabinet. Adding one to your kitchen is a great way to expand countertop storage space in more ways than one.
