These kitchen organization ideas will help you maximize your kitchen storage. Then you can store more tools and food in your kitchen. You’ll also enjoy more counter space as you eliminate the clutter. So which one of these ideas can you try in your kitchen?

1. Cupboards, Closets and Cabinets

If you have a small kitchen, then you’ll want to make the most of your cabinet space. Use the lower and more spacious cabinets for storing small appliances. Don’t waste space by storing your cutting boards in them. You can hang the board on your kitchen walls and use them as decor.

 

2. Drawer Divider Ideas

Nothing is worse than opening a kitchen drawer looking for one particular tool and have to dig through what feels like a thousand kitchen utensils. Fix this problem by dedicating one use per drawer. Have one drawer be a spice rack, another hold cooking utensils, and another be the junk drawer.

Organize the contents with drawer organizers. You can find drawer dividers that are plastic or bamboo. Look for adjustable dividers that let you customize how the drawer gets organized. There are drawer dividers that are designed for a specific storage solution, such as a silverware organizer or spice rack.

 

3. Food Storage and Pantry Organization Ideas

Keeping your kitchen pantry organized is a must to prevent food from getting lost. While shelves seem like the easy storage solution, they present a risk of disorganization. There’s that one can that gets shoved to the back of the pantry shelf and only discovered years beyond its best by date.

Tailor your pantry organization to the type of foods you want to store. Canned goods work well when stored on a slanted rack. The oldest can is upfront, and they automatically roll down the slope as you take them off and use them.

Dry goods should be in solid plastic or glass jars to prevent attracting pests. Bins are useful for organizing smaller items, like individually wrapped snack foods.

 

4. Paper Towel Holder Ideas

Having paper towels readily available in your kitchen is a must for keeping a sanitary cooking space. Kitchen linens can harbor bacteria that you’ll then spread as you repeatedly wipe your hands and kitchen surfaces with it.

You could mount your towel holder under the cabinets. This takes it off of the counters. However, if you want to put your paper towels on a kitchen island, this isn’t possible. Instead, you’ll need a decorative holder that stands on its own on the counter.

 

5. Pegboard Kitchen Organization Ideas

Take advantage of empty wall space by hanging pegboard. This gives you a custom storage solution that will clear your kitchen counters of utensils. This lets you have an organized kitchen without sacrificing convenience.

When considering storage ideas like pegboard, you want to take into account the items you’re trying to organize. Pegboard is nice because you can adapt it to a variety of needs. This makes decluttering easier. Use hooks, bins, or small shelves that mount onto the pegboard.

You can hang your cutting boards, pans, and cooking utensils. A basket can hold spice jars or mason jars holding fresh herb plants. A paper towel holder can hook on the pegboard and through the paper towel tube. There are also magnetic strips that can be used for holding knives.

 

6. Shelves Ideas for Kitchen Organization

Open shelving is trending in popular kitchen designs. However, these aren’t the only way you can use shelves in your kitchen. They are also useful in your cabinets. Use a combination of shelving solutions in your kitchen for the most functionality.

Having shelves of different sizes lets you customize your storage to what you place on them. You can put plastic containers, kitchen gadgets, cookie sheets, baking pans, small kitchen appliances, and even aluminum foil on your shelves. A lazy susan is useful for making smaller items easily accessible.

 

7. Under Sink Kitchen Organization Ideas

Don’t forget about the space under your kitchen sink. This may not be the ideal space to store food or cooking tools, but that doesn’t mean you should skip over this cabinet space. This is the perfect place to tuck your cleaning supplies in.

Place the cleaning supplies in a carry-all so you can easily bring them all out. Then hide them all away when you’re dining or cleaning the kitchen. You can also place your trash can under your sink for a convenient yet hidden place to toss scraps.
