What can I use this space for?

What can I use these two top very high, very shallow approx 3.5 in (9cm) spaces for in my new kitchen? They will be behind doors shared with the lower shelves. I do keep a step ladder. But it is too impractical for a spice rack. There is boxed plumbing behind.

The bottom is higher than 2m (91in)

    How about putting your serving trays up against the back wall. The things you only use on holidays.

    For me that would be a great place to store trays and cookie sheets. Things that I don't use all the time and don't need regular access too. You could attach a few metal rods, or a few wooden dowels going across to hold them in.

    I'd add lights in there and stained glass doors for a wonderful accent light.

    I would use them like easels to display your family's photos or artwork...simply rest the artwork/photos against the back wall and change them out often.

    Dee & Tuula has the best ideas (you’d need to incorporate Tuula’s method with Dee’s idea - but these would be perfect places for thin serving graying or sheets not used often. Best of luck.

    Put a small plate rail at the bottom (to keep objects from sliding off), and display pretty china plates or fancy platters, or trivets?
