Kitchen Organization
Organization Ideas!
The kitchen is the heart of the home. No matter how hard you try to have gatherings in other rooms, people always migrate to the kitchen!
This is where the cooking happens, the family meetings, the dinner table and even where homework and backpacks get dropped, mail, keys, flyers and before you know it your kitchen is under a pile of debris!
Kitchen organizers have come a long way. You can get an organizer for every cabinet in your kitchen and then some! You can even get under cabinet organizers to take the load off the counter! Take a look at some of the products below and see if they give you any ideas for organizing your kitchen! You don't have to spend a lot to create the room and organization you crave.
If you find your countertops are getting cluttered especially with all the small appliances, then you can store some of your supplies under the upper cabinets such as this k-cup holder for your daily coffee!
Coffee Accessory Organizer - For the serious coffee drinkers, this organizer will keep everything you need for your coffee or tea or anything you want on your counter. It keeps it all in one spot with nice looking drawers that keep the clutter away.
Tea Bag Organizer - If you love tea and different flavours then take them out of the boxes and instead of stacking the boxes and tins everywhere get yourself this organizer. It makes the flavours easier to see and easier to know when they need replacing. This alone can save some space if you are a avid tea drinker.
Spice Organizer - This is on my wish list. I have a cupboard full of spices and I know some have worked their way to the back. This is a handy size, you could leave it on the counter or store in a cabinet and it doesn't take up much room. This way you don't duplicate any and they are there for you to see quickly, especially if you love to cook.
Microwave Cart with Storage - If you rent your space or simply have limited counter space, then getting a free standing dedicated microwave stand is another way to increase your storage area as well as organize many things underneath.
Portable Kitchen Island with Folding Breakfast Bar - If you need more counter space for food preparation or more storage then this slim line kitchen island doesn't take up much space. When not in use it can be pushed up against a wall, but it also has a fold out breakfast bar for extra seating. Finding space where you can will help you to organize your kitchen no matter the size.
If you find it hard to find all your tin goods then take advantage of all the space in your cabinet with a can organizer. You will be able to see all the cans at a glance and it will hold many cans!
These shelves expand and can quickly take a cabinet and double the storage. They are strong and portable, no tools needed to just empty your cabinet and start stacking. Make use of the vertical space.
Kitchen Cabinet Door Organizers - You can quickly put one of these into use in most of your cabinet doors. They simply fit over top without screwing or creating a mess or installation construction. Perfect if you are a renter and can't do any damage or modifications, or if you simply want to make each cabinet do double time when it comes to expanding available room. In the picture above you can see how handy this would be for cutting boards and baking trays.
