![]() I have all of our cloth napkins, and turkish towels folded here. LOVE how perfectly THESE baskets fit in the IKEA drawers. I like that I can tuck my phone away to charge if needed! I also have an extra long phone charger plugged in here as well. It feels so good to have some empty shelves! We have our medicine on the top riser, vitamins, drinks, laminator and the printer in this cupboard. ![]() But it has worked SO well for us for about 4 years. We have the large version of THIS printer, which we don’t necessarily need all that it offers (now with all that phones can do) so I would suggest the smaller one. It makes it so much easier to get things done like schoolwork or art projects. My goal was to have this be a multi-purpose room, so I opted to add our wireless printer and art supplies, etc to our cupboards as well. ![]() And THIS spice rack fit perfectly in the smaller IKEA drawer! I do have our Vitality Essential Oils mixed in that we use in the kitchen.ĭrawer or chips and snacks (I use THIS black chip clip).Īnd a space for produce! I used THESE clear bins again to separate everything.Īnd the bottom drawer has cereal, so Finn can even get it out. I used THESE jars to organize our spices and labeled them all with THIS label maker. They seal well and are great to store dry goods for baking. I have had THESE and THESE glass jars with the bamboo lids for awhile and really like them. And risers are really great for tall deep drawers! (I use THIS label maker and THESE clear bins). I love to store everything in CLEAR containers so that I can easily identify what is in there and how much I have left. Kitchen Organizing Tip #5: Containers can make or break the ongoing order you are trying to create. Great spot for this is the area above your fridge where things can get lost. I found THIS is similar on Amazon or THIS. To organize baking sheets and cutting boards we used these dividers that we screwed into the cabinets. Organizing pots and pans and lids can be a chore. Items that you want to keep in the kitchen, but are not used daily can be stored in the higher spaces of the kitchen. Kitchen Organizing Tip #4: As I load up the cupboards, I like to keep the things that are used most often close-at-hand. Check that donate box once a month or so and you may find that those items are easier to part with. Kitchen Organizing Tip #3: If you aren’t ready to say goodbye to something forever, try putting it away in a “donate” box for a little while and see if you missed it. If the cabinets have a laminated surface, shelf liner is not necessary. … Shelf liner is a good option if the inside of your cabinets are wood. Kitchen Organizing Tip #2: Make sure all cabinets and storage areas are wiped down and clean before you start putting things in them. If not, just use a box or what you have until you get get the exact right thing. Kitchen Organizing Tip #1: If new storage containers and baskets are in your budget, take a moment to measure the space so you can buy what you need in the right size. CRAZY to see how far we have come! But having some sense of order is invaluable! Below was when I started organizing our kitchen. It may feel unnecessary if you think you know where you want to put everything back, but clearing the shelves will help you get to a starting point and give you a fresh start. This is the “It always gets worse before it gets better”–phase. Today I am sharing how I organized our new kitchen, but the same steps could be taken whether or not you have changed a space! You may even feel like you got a new kitchen just by re-organizing it!įirst, empty EVERYTHING. Nice to not run from one area to the next grabbing what you need to make dinner (I feel you- small space dwellers). We didn’t add more- just can now put things in cupboards that was spread in our basement and in storage in other spots. Anyone else? I have learned so much from living in our small home about staying on top of the “stuff” that we have and keeping things organized and tidy, that I was determined to put our kitchen back together in an organized and efficient way. It is now full of glorious storage for plates and dishes and food! However, sometimes when we get more space (whether from moving or de-cluttering or renovating), it can be tempting to start filling that space right back up with things. We added about 125 square feet to our kitchen.
