Clever Ways to Better Organize Your Kitchen
1. Store Utensils by Use
Use jars or other containers to hold the utensils you use daily so you don’t have to dig through drawers while cooking. Use one big container or multiple smaller ones and organize by type.
2. Stack Snacks
Using tiered baskets for smaller snacks will save you serious cabinet space. Or you could use them to store teabags, K-cups, or whatever else you’d like to display.
3. Wicker Baskets
Wicker baskets are a great space saver. You can use these handy baskets to store dish towels, keep food types together, or declutter your baking supplies. They’re inexpensive and the possibilities are endless.
4. Basic Containers
Create a cohesive style by using similar containers to store food items in your cabinet. For example, using glass jars, to store flour and sugar. Replace all of your mis-matched packaging with organized containers.
5. Bonus Labels
Take the organization one step further with matching labels. There are countless styles out there, from jam labels to chalkboard labels. It’ll be easy to find something to match your style.
6. Give a Lazy Susan a Spin
Organize all of your cans and condiments with a lazy susan! These great little tools take out the hassle of digging through cans to find the one you need.
7. Frozen Food Labels
You should always label the items in your freezer. To make your life even easier, make sure all the labels face outward so you don’t have to dig through them.
8. Add Extra Shelves
Take back that awkward space by adding shelves. That narrow wall space between the pantry shelves and the door is the perfect place to add a few shelves to store smaller items like spice containers.
9. Add Extra Drawers
If shelves don’t provide enough space, try adding stacked drawers within your cabinets. This way you can maximize what you can store.
10. Don’t Forget About Your Door
Add racks to your door to utilize that extra space. Store spice containers or other small items that you use frequently to make the most out of this space.
