https:\/\/famiware.net\/<\/a>, are addressing exactly this, and it is worth checking against the actual shelf.<\/p>\nStacking Is the Whole Question<\/h2>\n
A set that stacks in a single column takes a fraction of the space of one that does not.<\/p>\n
Rim and foot shapes decide this. Plates with a foot ring that sits inside the rim of the plate below stack tightly; ones that do not sit proud and lean.<\/p>\n
Bowls vary enormously: some nest almost completely, others stack barely at all.<\/p>\n
Measure Before Buying<\/h2>\n
Shelf width, depth and the height between shelves.<\/p>\n
Then the diameter of the plate and the height of a stack of the number you intend to own. A stack that overhangs the shelf gets caught by a door.<\/p>\n
Plate Racks Use Height<\/h2>\n
Storing plates on edge in a rack rather than stacked flat means any plate can be taken without moving others.<\/p>\n
It also uses vertical space, which small kitchens have more of than depth.<\/p>\n
Shorter Stacks<\/h2>\n
Two stacks of six rather than one of twelve, which is also easier to lift down safely.<\/p>\n
Heavy Low<\/h2>\n
Stoneware at head height is how sets get dropped.<\/p>\n
Edit Rather Than Add<\/h2>\n
Chipped and unused pieces occupy the same space as good ones.<\/p>\n
One Range Only<\/h2>\n
Mixed sets stack worst of all.<\/p>\n
Bowls Vary Most in Nesting<\/h2>\n
Two bowls of the same capacity can take twice the shelf height depending on profile.<\/p>\n
Mugs Are the Space Problem<\/h2>\n
They do not stack at all, and a household owns more of them than anything else.<\/p>\n
Hooks Are Not Kind to Mugs<\/h2>\n
Hanging puts the whole weight on the handle join permanently.<\/p>\n
Count Before Ordering<\/h2>\n
A set for eight in a kitchen with one shelf is a set living in a box.<\/p>\n
