The kitchen is the heart of your home, and in most homes, the kitchen wears many hats. It is often the location of the home team’s huddle, the place for chatting with guests, the room for paying bills, and let's not forget its original purpose—a place to enjoy meals with those you love. Due to its multipurpose use, an organized kitchen is a must. Read more for some tips and tricks on how to organize your kitchen:
Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are a versatile space and can be made to store almost anything you may need for cooking or dining. When starting out your cabinet organizing, you need to decide how you want items to be spaced throughout your kitchen. It might be best to start with a blank slate by completely emptying your cabinets and sorting out food items from cookware or dinnerware.
You will also want to plan how you'll position items within each cabinet. For example, if you drink coffee every day and have a glass of wine only about once a month, you can place your wine glasses in the back of the cabinet, with your coffee cups up front for convenience. This approach can be replicated for other cookware, utensils, spices, and more throughout your cabinets.
Countertops
Part of organizing your kitchen, or any room, is identifying what to store away and where to store it. This is especially true for kitchen countertops that tend to become a cluttered catchall. Your counter space should be utilized by items you frequently use like small appliances, kitchen staples, paper towels, etc.
Various-sized canisters are a visually-pleasing and efficient way to store items that might not have anywhere else to go. A canister of coffee grounds next to your coffee pot or cooking utensils in a specific crock next to your stove are ways to utilize counter space while minimizing clutter.
Pantry
There are few things worse than being in the middle of cooking a meal, realizing you forgot to grab an important spice, and trying to rummage through an unorganized pantry to find it. No matter the size of your pantry, there are some trusty tricks to keep it as organized as possible. While aesthetics are not always the goal, clear containers are helpful in condensing bulky items and making it easy to identify products. Similarly, plastic bins, spice racks, or low shelves can help create more space by seamlessly organizing products.
Organizing your pantry will also help make sure you know exactly what is in it! It will be a visual reminder of ingredients you can use to make meals or even which snacks you might to restock while you are at the grocery store.
Drawers
Everyone has that infamous junk drawer in their kitchen and somehow found it to be practical in spite of its chaotic nature. Any functional drawer, even a junk drawer, does require some level of organization.
Similar to your pantry, different-sized containers can help to organize silverware, Tupperware, pots, and pans. When organizing, you can begin to arrange your drawers by use. For example, if you like to store your spices in a drawer, it might make sense to keep measuring spoons in the same drawer or in one nearby.
Moving forward, plan to go through your kitchen at least once a year to declutter and organize its contents. The more often you do this, the more functional and organized your kitchen will be.
