The kitchen is where much of our time is spent, cooking meals, eating meals, and cleaning up after that mess. So, it’s important to keep that room running like a well-oiled machine.
The best way to do that is to keep it organized. But that isn’t always easy, especially if you don’t have a lot of space.
Here are 15 ways to solve kitchen storage and organization problems:
1) Spices
Spices can take up a lot of space in your cupboards. You can solve this problem by putting them in magnetic containers and attaching them to your refrigerator or another metal area in the kitchen. I’ve even seen these containers at the dollar store.
2) Peg Board
Are you lacking space for pots, pans, and utensils? Just put up some pegboard. You can use “S” hooks to hang all sorts of things.
3) Paper Towels
If your counter space is minimal there are alternatives for paper towel placement. You can use a paper towel roll holder that you hang from a cabinet. You can also store them on the inside of your cabinets.
4) Overstuffed Drawer Solution
Is your utensil drawer always getting stuck because it’s too full? Separate your big utensils from the rest. Place these in a utensil crock and store it on your countertop.
5) Calendars and References
Calendars and reference lists help our households functions. But they look pretty ugly when they’re out in the open. Hide them away on the inside of a cabinet.
6) Pan Organization
Use tension rods in your cabinets to organize your pans. Place your tension rods vertically and place your pans in between them. This will prevent this from looking sloppy and falling all over the place.
7) Lazy Susan
Lazy Susans are good at preventing chaos and have cupboards filled with things that have spilled over. You can use them all over your kitchen. They will give you easy access to hard to reach spots.
8) No Refrigerator Spills
Keep your ketchup, mustards, and other condiments in an egg carton. These will keep them in one place and prevent spilling. They’ll also be ready to squeeze.
9) Under the Shelf Baskets
Use all of the space in your cabinets. Make sure you’re using even the space in the tallest spots. You can do this with under the shelf baskets.
10) Freezer Shelves
Does your freezer have shelves? Stack magazine holders inside your freezer. This will allow you to stack and organization your freezer more efficiently.
11) Hang Pots And Pans
There are lots of different ways you could go about this. You can use chains, a chandelier, or a ladder to hang cookware from the ceiling that you don’t have room to store.
12) Vertical Drying Rack
This is great for tiny kitchens. This vertical drying rack is affixed to the wall. Why take up precious counter space when you don’t need to?
13) Repurpose Tin Cans
Turn some old tin cans into artful storage. Rinse them out and mount to a piece of scrap wood. Use the floating cans to store your old utensils.
14) Wire Wrack
Wire racks instantly create extra storage space. Use a wire rack in your fridge and store things horizontally to save space. You can even put them in your cabinets.
15) Hang Cleaning Supplies
Keep cleaning supplies off the ground taking up space. Use tension rods for this. Just hang them from the tension rod by their handle.
