Are you tired of always having your kitchen counter stacked with various ingredients, making it look messy and disheveled? Are your kitchen cabinets on the verge of spilling out their contents? You may not be able to call Marie Kondo over for a decluttering exercise, but we’ve got you covered!
Here are 3 crucial tips to make your kitchen look neat and organized at all times.
Make Use of Vertical Space
You don’t have to cram everything in your cabinets! Instead of filling the shelves with mugs and piling spoons atop each other, use the vertical space beneath the cabinets to store these items.
Placing hooks on the walled region is a great way to hold your favorite mugs and the utensils you use most often. While you’ll still have to organize the majority of your cutlery and mugs in drawers or cabinets, having them aligned on hooks will save you a great deal of space. What’s more, it’ll also increase accessibility to these utensils, keeping them at hand’s reach at all times.
If you have more vertical space available, you can even hang frying pans, large wooden spoons, and spatulas on there.
Group Similar Items Together
Rule of thumb: always place like items together.
Go through your kitchen supplies and divide them into categories. For instance, you have your barely-used silverware on one side, and the dishes you regularly use on another. Similarly, keep your baking ingredients such as flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in one place, while the spices and staples should be kept together.
By sorting your kitchen equipment according to these categories, you can avoid turning your kitchen upside down as you search for a particular item. You’ll always know where to look when you need a certain utensil or food item, and will have your kitchen organized according to how you use these things.
Maximize Cabinet Space
Kitchen cabinets are a great way for storing your kitchen appliances and items, but there are only so many you can have installed. To get the most out of your cabinet space, learn how to effectively use the available area for maximum storage.
Get creative when rearranging your dishware. Should you have them piled or stand vertically on racks? Why not alternate your placement of stemware glasses, having every other glass turned upside down to maximize space?
You can utilize drawer space for dishware too! In addition to holding cutlery trays, vacant drawers can be used for flat casserole dishes, while you may use your shelves for storing jars and bowls. Similarly, keep empty Tupperware containers one-into-another instead of stacking them, with their lids kept on the topmost container.
