No matter the size of your kitchen, it can be easy to get overwhelmed with clutter. Organizing cabinets and drawers helps you avoid needless scavenger hunts and keeps your home neat and tidy.
Begin by creating a list of items that need grouping together. Then, purchase organizing containers and baskets suitable for your requirements.
Organize Your Countertops
Maintaining an organized kitchen countertop makes cooking, eating, and other daily tasks much simpler. Plus it protects your countertops from spills, grease, and other common messes.
Start by considering your “working triangle,” that space between your sink, stove and refrigerator. Here you should store items primarily related to these activities rather than just decorative items like jars of condiments or spices.
Keep chopping boards, cookbooks and other kitchen essentials off the counter. Doing so can free up valuable counter space while making your kitchen appear cluttered.
Organize Your Lazy Susan
The kitchen is the hub of activity in the home, so it’s essential to keep your cabinets organized. It can be easy to get disorganized when storing pots, pans, and lids inside cabinets – especially lower ones.
Additionally, stacking pots and pans on top of one another isn’t recommended as it makes them difficult to take out of the cabinet. Instead, use a lazy Susan for storage so you can quickly access your pots and pans when you need them.
Lazy Susans have come a long way since they were simply wooden trays used to distribute food at dining tables and eliminate the need for servants. Today, these handy organizers help people keep their homes organized, from storing office supplies to keeping pens and pencils within easy reach on desks.
Organize Your Drawers
Kitchen drawers can often feel like a catch-all for all sorts of items, but with some planning and organization you’ll have yours organized in no time. Begin by sorting utensils by type then decide where they will reside in your drawers.
Once you have a clear idea of what belongs where, create a list and get to work! Sticky notes can be invaluable here for quick reference.
Storage compartments of various sizes are an efficient way to organize your drawers. They can accommodate anything from baking tools and spice jars.
Another ideal solution for deep drawers is adding some IKEA bins. These can be utilized to organize pot lids, which tend to slip around in the drawers.
Organize Your Cabinets
Organizing your cabinets is a crucial kitchen task that ensures everything you need is easily accessible when you need it most.
Begin by taking everything out of your cabinets and determining what you want to keep, toss or donate. After getting rid of anything that doesn’t function properly or is no longer in good condition, wipe down the shelves to eliminate food stains and dust particles.
Next, organize your cabinets by zones for improved accessibility and convenience. Place items that you use frequently on the lower shelves, while those you don’t frequently use can be stored higher up on shelves.
Create a Command Center
A command center can be an efficient way to keep track of all your tasks in one convenient location. It will enable you to stay organized with meal planning, grocery lists, chore charts and more.
When setting up your command center, take some time to plan ahead. Having a strategy in place can save you from frustration in the future.
Create a more personalized command center by using patterned folders and writing personalized notes on it. This will make your space appear sleeker and organized!
