When your kitchen feels short on storage or lacking organization, there are an abundance of organizational hacks to help you make your life easier. If you’re looking for some simple ways to help streamline your life, we’ve got our favorite ideas for you:

 

1. Rethink Your Storage Situation.

It probably sounds simple enough, but take some time to evaluate what you’re storing and keep things out of the way that don’t need immediate access — from special occasion dishware on higher shelves (away from kids) to big appliances on lower shelves that are only used sparingly — to help clear off the counters.

 

2. Keep Your Coffee Supplies Organized.

Find a central location to streamline and store your favorite coffee and morning beverage supplies. This could mean using single clear bins on open shelving to house your Keurig cups, or moving all the coffee and tea containers into one single cabinet.

3. Declutter the Utensil Drawer(s).

If you’ve grown tired of digging for the right-size silverware or searching for kitchen tools, take some time to clear out and declutter the utensil drawers. You might also include a clear or bamboo organizer to make everything easy to find.

4. Ditch The Traditional Knife Block.

Instead of a knife block, stay “sharp” by adding a knife drawer or knife-wall organizer, found in e-tailers and traditional stores alike.

 

5. Find Creative Solutions

Tired of hunting down matching container lids, or navigating an endless, cascading supply of water bottles? Consider a two-tier organizer from YouTopia to properly store your lid tops or move designed bottles into specific places. Just move the bottles onto their sides and you can also free up drawer and shelf-space.

6. Create a Kid-Friendly Cabinet.

Keep little hands out of the messy, fragile sections of the kitchen by creating a kid-friendly drawer or cabinet. Think metal, plastic, and non-breakable kid plates to let your youngsters have more freedom and fun.

7. Add a Dry-Erase Board

Put your shopping list on the back of your food cupboard door — with a pen by the side — so you can simply add the food to the list, right there and then. Talk about convenient!
