Before You Start

Before you can start organizing your kitchen you’ll need to have a plan and a clean slate. These tips should help you get your kitchen ready for optimal organization and get you ready to go for the holidays!

Figure Out What Needs To Change

Evaluate what needs to change and what is going to work best for you and your family. Look over the high traffic spots in the kitchen that need improvement and focus on those first. This helps ease the anxiety of not knowing where to start and gives you direction to begin with!

Empty Your Cabinets

Completely empty your cabinets and go through what you have. This will help you strategize and reduce clutter by getting rid of items you no longer use of need. You may own more Tupperware containers than you thought. Use this opportunity to throw away items you have a large number of!

Sort Everything

Sort everything you take out into similar sections. By doing this, it will be easier to find everything once you finally put things away. Stop stressing about where you put your coffee mugs when they are neatly placed in their own pile!

Clean Out Your Refrigerator

In addition to emptying your cabinets, you should also clean out your refrigerator. Get rid of old or expired food and take inventory on what you have in there. As you go grocery shopping, the food you already have can be pushed to the back of the fridge and be forgotten. Cleaning out your fridge is good for organization and overall cleanliness!

Strategize Your Kitchen

A major part of organizing your kitchen is strategizing how you want it to be set up. Plan what items need to go and where. This helps you visualize what the end product will look like and allows for you to make adjustments as you go!

Create Zones

Once your cabinets have been emptied and everything is laid out, organize everything that needs to be together and “zone” them off. Base this off daily routines that will make your everyday life easier. Keep like items together. Once you know where everything is going, you can put everything away at once and save time!

Keep Dishes Near The Dishwasher

We recommend keeping the dishes you use everyday closest to the dishwasher. This reduces the amount of foot traffic in the kitchen and avoids high traffic areas from being cluttered. Organize everything by what “flows” the best!

Find Extra Space

Keep any eye out for extra storage space you might not have been using before. This will help you stash away bulky items like pots, pans, and cooking devices like mixers and crock pots! Spend less time shuffling around items when you want to cook and more time baking up some of your favorite sweet treats!

Organizing Tools

Purchasing additional organization tools can help concentrate your kitchen space and make everything more compact. A quick trip to Ikea will help you avoid piling your kitchen essentials on top of each other and make it much more accessible!

Products That Will Help

Purchasing items to take the stress out of organizing your kitchen will make your life so much easier. You can find any time of item imaginable. From appliances, to utensils, to storage containers, we’ve got you covered!

Lazy Suzan

Purchase a lazy Suzan to store spices in your cabinets. Now, you won’t have to shuffle around all the spices you once had organized just to find the Oregano. All you need to do is spin it to find what you need!

Drying Rack

Over the counter drying racks will reduce clutter on your counter space. You can now use more space on your counter for cooking, ingredients, and cookware! Check out this one we found on Amazon and give yourself more counterspace!

Utensil Organizer

Many stores sell utensil organizers for your forks, knives, and spoons. This prevents utensils from sliding around as you open the drawer. As you use everything more, it will be easier to stay organized and stop your kitchen from getting messy again!

Food Storage Containers

Storage containers remove boxes and bags from your pantry and allows you to stack everything, saving space! This also extends the shelf life of your food and preserves it better than leaving it in opened containers. You can find containers at home good stores, retailers, and of course, Amazon.
