the kitchen gets messy pretty easily if it’s not used practically. when organizing your kitchen, follow: classification, flow and convenience. one of the basics of organizing and storage is to categorize similar things together. it’s important to not let unused kitchen items accumulate. i really try to buy things i actually need and use.
– the cabinet under the sink, we have a shelf organizer that we store kitchen cleaning supplies that are used often like dish soap, vinegar, baking soda, extra sponges, microfiber clothes. you can cover any messy parts with a tension rod and a nice cloth (make a diy curtain).
– to the left of our stovetop, in the upper cabinet we store plates, bowls that are frequently used. if you need to separate the storage, you can add a shelf.
– on the left side of our stovetop, in the lower cabinet, we store small appliances like our blender, popcorn maker.
– to the right of our stovetop, in the upper cabinet, we store our baking ingredients in their containers, pastas and small snacks.
– on the right side of our stovetop, in the lower cabinet, we store our pots and pans.
– pot lid holder/magazine file box organize the lids of pans or frying pans. for deep frying pans you can use a magazine file box.
– right above the dishwasher, in the upper cabinet is where we store all of our mugs and cups.
– in a kitchen drawer, use an expandable drawer organizer to store your silverware.
– a pull out trash and recycle bin underneath the cabinet, these save space in the kitchen and there’s no trash can sitting out in your kitchen.
extra tips:
– put only the things you use often and need on the countertops.
– use a cable holder on the back of appliances to store away neatly.
-put stuff that hasn’t been used for months away. organize by emptying things out.
– wooden spoons are stored in the upper drawers/
– trays and cutting boards are also placed flat in upper drawers
– seasonings i place flat in a upper drawer near stove
– cutting the tops off the bags of chips also helps to keep everything clean then add bag clip.
– turntables are perfect for storing seasonings or oils. you can also use a basket with a handle to easily pull out any commonly used oils.
