Achieving a clean kitchen goes beyond just cleaning regularly. Keeping your kitchen tidy means employing an effective organization strategy that maximizes your cabinet and shelf space. In smaller rental home’s kitchens, space management can make a huge difference, and with some clever organizing hacks, you’ll find it easy to make the most of the storage space.
The first thing to know about organizing a kitchen is that there should be a clear separation of the items you keep in your upper, lower, and shelves. You might store pretty dishes or glassware in upper cabinets, with more practical, frequently used items such as pots and pans in the lower cabinets. When organizing your pantry, make sure you organize all your food items by grouping items according to food or container type for easy access.
Maximizing Space with Organizers
Once you’ve established where to place your items, you can take your organizational strategy a step further by investing in silverware trays, knife blocks, and spice racks. These standard kitchen organizers are great for keeping things in their designated places. A properly set-up spice cabinet will ensure your favorite spices are at hand, while the lesser-used items can be kept neatly out of the way.
Repurpose Everyday Items for Storage
If standard kitchen organizers are too limiting or expensive, consider repurposing other types of organizers for use in the kitchen. For instance, magazine holders can be used to store random items or even to organize cleaning supplies. Office-to-kitchen crossovers like a file folder can help you keep lids and cutting boards in order, while a rubber-backed shelf liner ensures everything stays in place.
Creative Canned Food Storage
Keeping everything neat and easy to see can be a real problem when it comes to canned foods. One way to organize canned goods is to use wire shelving designed for closets. The underside of wire closet shelving typically has a lip that can make an excellent cabinet rack when tilted at a 45-degree angle. As each can is used, the remaining cans will shift downward, making it easy to check your stock briefly. With a simple hack like this, you will never need to hunt for loose cans or wonder what’s in that messy cabinet again.
Use Tension Rods and Repurposed Items for Cleaner Cabinets
Install a tension rod inside a lower cabinet to easily and affordably keep cleaning supplies arranged. This keeps rags, gloves, and spray bottles hung orderly and off the cabinet floor, therefore improving the cleanliness of the area.
Little work and some careful preparation will help you to arrange easily maintained kitchen shelves and cupboards. You’ll save time and avoid buying pointless products as a result.
