Evaluate the current contents of your kitchen cabinets and drawers, identifying items that are no longer used or needed.
Group similar items together, creating designated categories for easy access and efficient storage. For example, you can have a designated section for each of these things: cookware, bakeware, pantry items, utensils, small appliances and cleaning supplies.
Routinely review your kitchen belongings to remove unnecessary items that may contribute to clutter. Additionally, this practise allows you to reassess and optimise your storage solutions to better fit your current needs.
• Pull – out pantry shelves: To make it easy to access items stored at the back, reducing the need to dig through deep cabinets.
• Lazy Susans: To keep all your items within reach and prevent things from getting lost in the back.
• Cabinet Door Racks: Add racks to the inside of cabinet doors for storing spices, lids, or other small items.
• Stackable Bins and Baskets: Hang baskets under shelves to create additional storage space for smaller items
• Magnetic strips and hooks: For storing knives, utensils, and other metal tools on the backsplash or inside cabinets.
• Tension Rods: Place tension rods inside cabinets to create dividers for baking sheets, cutting boards and trays.
• Over-the-sink – shelves: for additional storage without taking up counter space
• Rolling Carts: Add a rolling cart for extra storage and workspace, which can be moved around the kitchen as needed.
• Corner shelf organisers: to utilise awkward corner spaces efficiently
• Under Cabinet Lighting: to illuminate dark areas and make items easier to find.
• Utilise Vertical Space: Maximise vertical space by adding shelves and hooks to create extra storage for mugs, cups, or spices.
• Implement Clear Containers: Store ingredients in clear, airtight containers for efficient pantry organisation and easy visibility of contents.
• Optimise Drawer Organisation: Utilise drawer dividers to compartmentalise utensils and cooking tools, ensuring a clutter-free and well-organised drawer system.
• Arrange Cutlery Systematically: Create a designated space for each type of cutlery to streamline meal preparation and table setting.
• Store Cookware Strategically: Prioritise the accessibility of frequently used pots and pans, keeping them within easy reach and organising them based on size and usage frequency.
• Label for Clarity: Use labels to distinguish various kitchen items, making it easy to identify their location and maintain an orderly kitchen space.
