With so many people using the kitchen, it’s a difficult space to keep organized. However with an effective system in place and good organization skills you can make sure that your house stays clean!
Here’s what we did to organize kitchen cabinets (source). It may take some time and error before you have it all set up just the way that works best for your needs, but once everything is in order- maintainable with easy access instead of difficult-, then this will be an important part about creating a space where cooking can happen easily!
Create Your Plan
The first option is to just jump right in and do it all at once. This works best for small kitchens, those who plan on doing a lot of cabinet reshuffling or really need their cabinets organized quick-smart—depending on how many you have! Regardless though – patience will be key when organizing these things because there’s nothing worse then getting halfway through an undertaking only find out that something needs changed around beforehand…and then having no idea where everything goes anymore.
If you’re organizing your kitchen in sections and want to keep it manageable, the best bet is probably doing one cabinet at a time. This works especially well if there won’t be too many items changing places between two different cabinets or when getting overwhelmed with organizing just gets me every time! If I had my way all of my cupboards would look like they do now but instead only use half for storage so things aren’t feel overwhelming anymore – then again this could also lead others feeling like they need their own space too since everyone’s kitchens are different.
Declutter All
I know it sounds like a lot of work, but don’t forget to declutter any space before organizing! It will make keeping everything in order so much easier.It’s true that some people like to keep their homes clean and organized, but if you don’t love it or need the space for something else then there really isn’t any point in wasting time organizing things when they’ll just stay messy.
It’s always important to empty out your space before getting rid of anything. You need a clear head and an honest opinion about what you still love from this world, because when the time comes for purging it can be hard not being sentimental or keeping things just in case they might come back around one day (but let’s face reality: chances are slim). As some rough guidelines depending on how often/requently each item is used throughout different seasons:
-Donate any nonseasonal items that have been unused within 6 months; if there were occasional uses during its lifetime then consider borrowing instead–especially since friends & family members would probably.
If you’re not sure if it should stay or go, set the item aside until near termination. For me keeping an eye on how nicely organized my cupboards are is enough motivation to part with those things that just aren’t right for me- so I can make room in other areas of storage!
Carry out a Thorough Cleaning
When it’s time to clean out your cabinets, make sure you get into all corners and leave nothing behind. Take care of every surface – inside as well on top- with a good vacuuming before starting this process!
Vacuum up crumbs and loose particles with a hand-held vacuum, then wipe down the cupboards. If you need to disinfect any food spills or scuff marks on pots/pans after scrubbing them clean using baking soda paste made from water & 5 drops Dish Soap per each stain (or 1 Teaspoonful), make sure that they’re completely dry before putting away again!
Organize all Boxes & Liners
Cupboard liners are a great way to protect your cupboards from any stains or spills that may happen in the future. They also add an extra barrier of protection for you surfaces so they stay looking clean and new longer! I didn’t line all my drawers, but ended up doing most because these simple materials did what we needed them too – covered up bad spots on bottom boards while still giving us visibility into what was inside every drawer.
If you want a liner that can be removed for washing, I recommend choosing one with non-adhesive borders. You could also use double sided tape or Command strips to keep it in place if needed!
Zone Organization
Grouping all similar items together and closest to the area that you will be using them is a great way of organizing your kitchen. If this sounds like something new for you, take some time getting used to it before making major changes in cupboard or cabinet placement!
One of the first steps to organizing your kitchen is figuring out where you want things stored and what function each area serves. Here are some ideas for zones that may be relevant…
The cooking/baking zone contains all items related to food preparation, such as pots & pans or appliances used exclusively in preparing meals; this would also include refrigerated foods but not frozen items because they do not need special cooling systems which take up extra space on warship carriers! The food prep area could hold dishes washing.
There are many ways to make your home more functional. For example, we have created a little zone for all our blender and kettle items in one corner of the kitchen so everything is easy-to find when needed!
Essential Items at Fingertips
Kitchen cupboards are often tight on space, which can make it difficult to find room for all your necessities. Make the most of what you have by storing frequently used items in easy-to reach locations at either front or back posts of cabinets; use lower shelves if necessary! Save higher spots and inside door panels – they’re perfect places where extra storage is needed too (like dishes).
The kitchen is not the only place in your home where you can store things. Other areas with more room, like an informal dining area or laundry nook are perfect spots for storing infrequently used items that don’t fit elsewhere- especially if they’re small enough to put away yourself! Store children’s toys at eye level so parents aren’t always having assistance getting their homework done while also keeping them busy during Pid time.
I try to make things easy for myself by removing just one other item or block of items at most when getting what I want from my cupboard. If there are four items stacked on top each other, then chances are they won’t be used and will get put back partly covered in shelf cache too soon after purchase which makes life more difficult than necessary! These drop down storage racks work great if you have higher shelves where grocery products go; pull them right down into place without much effort required as seen here with peanut butter jars placed neatly side.
