5 Creative Ways To Organize Your Kitchen

A messy kitchen can often deter you from wanting to enter this part of your house. It is easy to let your kitchen organization get on top of you. Add to this all the chaos that comes from preparing large meals and you have a recipe for disaster.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take a lot to reform your kitchen organizing skills. All you need is a few tips to get yourself started. This article will look at a few creative ways to organize your kitchen.

Counters and drawers in modern kitchen

Drawer Dividers

It is likely that the main cause of distraction in your kitchen comes from the sheer number of tools you need to store. It is normally fine if you have the correct number of drawers; however, this storage method can also become a problem. How often have you had to fight to open a drawer because a serving spoon or potato masher has become stuck somewhere?

Simply shoving your kitchen tools in a drawer will place them out of sight but can cause you more stress in the long run. Make sure that you place a drawer divider in all your storage spaces. This makes it easier to organize your tools and saves you time trying to find the item that you need.

Hang Up Your Mugs

You will never find yourself with a shortage of mugs. As life moves on, you will continue to receive these objects as a gift, but you never seem to have enough room for your ever-expanding collection. One cupboard never seems to be enough room, and you don’t want your mugs spilling out over the countertop.

Therefore, you should consider using a mug tree. Use this to hang up the mugs that you use regularly to keep them in rotation while storing the rest at the back of the cupboard. This provides you with a place to always store your mugs without them fighting for space in an already full cupboard.

Fold Your Tea Towels

Tea towels are an essential part of anyone’s kitchen. It doesn’t matter whether you have a dishwasher to drain your crockery, you will always find a use for one of these handy wipes. Unfortunately, there never seems to be a good place to leave them. Most of you will hang them on a drawer handle or somewhere else equally as convenient. This method can make your surfaces look untidy while also leaving your tea towels out in the open to become dirty.

That is why you should buy 100% cotton flour sack dish towels and fold them up in a vertical stack in the corner of your kitchen counter. These flour sack dish towels are still easy to retrieve from this location; however, they a bit of calm to an already hectic kitchen. The more tea towels you have the better, so make sure you look at a reliable wholesaler for all your tea towel needs.

Use Pot Racks

The main issue that has been discussed so far is the lack of cupboard space in the kitchen. While this can be a big problem for some, you will often find that you have enough room if you are creative with your organizational skills. However, there is one storage problem that almost everyone has, and that is finding room for your bulkier items.

Things like saucepans are designed to stack neatly in a pile. Unfortunately, these items will need to be stored alongside pot lids, frying pans, woks, and whatever else you decide to use on the hob. Therefore, you will need to find a place big enough to encompass all these things. A good solution to this problem is choosing to hang your pans on a rack above the oven. This will give you plenty more space to play within your cupboards, while also always keeping these tools within arm’s reach.

Keep One Space Free

Cooking is a process that requires you to get messy. A lot is going on at once, and an untidy workspace can suck all the joy out of cooking. Therefore, you are unlikely to want to prep your meals and resort to eating unhealthy options like takeaway. However, you can break free of this stress with one simple act, and that is nominating a command space.

A command space is a section of your kitchen that you designate for food prep and nothing else. You cannot store your tools here unless you are using them, and they should remain clean at all times. This approach leaves you with somewhere to always work, no matter how disorganized the rest of your kitchen becomes.

It is also very important to organize all of your utensils and equipment on your kitchen worktops to utilize your space better.

Summary

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, keeping your kitchen organized doesn’t take a lot of effort. All you need to do is put some of these ideas in place and you will make your kitchen a much more desirable place to work.
