Make your kitchen the place to go!

Store things according to their use

All kitchen items should be stored in cabinets and shelves, according to how often you use them. Plates, bowls, and cups must be at an easy reach spot. If you have small children, never store them in the lower cabinets, place them in the highest cupboards or the front part for better access. Good china and other items that you don’t use very often should be at the end of the cabinets, accessible for special occasions. Pans and pots normally go in the lower spots, with easy reach because you usually use them while cooking.

Drawers, the hidden gems of a kitchen

Be honest: usually, drawers in the kitchen are for trash and things that you won’t regularly need. Opening a drawer in a kitchen is like to submerge in another dimension, you could even find stuff from the 90’s. But they are actually very useful: items like tin foil, parchment paper, zip lock bags, measure cups, and spoons are better hidden in these spaces, with easy access when you are cooking. So clean your drawers and start to use them properly!

Cooking utensils

Nothing says disorganized more than being unable to find a utensil when you need it, so keep them at hand reach. It’s very easy, just find a vase that you like and instead of flowers put the spatulas, ladles, and whisks there to gain easy access. You could also buy a very decorative utensil holder to match your kitchen decoration; the task is to have them close to you.

Tupperware, useful but a nightmare of organization

We love Tupperware! They are amazing to storage food and ingredients in the fridge and cabinets; but when you are not using them, they become a storage nightmare. Open a cupboard and an avalanche of Tupperware is in front of you, it needs to end. The only way is getting organizers for drawers and a filing system according to the size of your plastic containers. Also, a lot of patience.

Drawer organizers

It could be hard to find the right organizer for your drawers but not impossible, so go and hunt the perfect one for your kitchen. Another option could be makeup or clothes organizers. Be creative and start to storing your kitchen.
