Kitchen labels are an easy and effective way to reorganize your kitchen. You will find immediate satisfaction by knowing what everything is and how much of it you have left. That can be incredibly satisfying when you identify what is needed on your next grocery run or ensure that you grab flour instead of sugar when you’re doing some baking.

Labeling restores calm, and although it might seem ridiculous, it is incredibly calming.

58. Think About Counterspace 

One easy way to reorganize your kitchen is to get baskets and storage containers that match your decor. Shutterstock

Part of reorganizing and decluttering your kitchen means that everything has a home. That helps prevent clutter and ensures organization. The key is that when you take something out of its home, that it gets put back. For instance, you can get bins and bowls to put your peppers, lemons, and limes in, which provides a home for each item. A utensil canister helps ensure that all the utensils are kept tidy and in their place. Although it may seem contradictory to add more bins, bowls, or canisters, it can help maintain organization and provide such a satisfactory feeling.

The great news is that you can find plenty of bins and bowls to match whatever your home decor is. When items don’t have a home, they often find themselves thrown in the nearest drawer or cabinet. The downside to this is that it further adds to clutter and chaos. You will feel so much better if every item has a specific place to be stored, and you ensure that when it is taken out of that home, it is also put back there. Otherwise, the next time you reach for that item, you might not even know where you last put it.

That satisfying way helps you see each utensil without shuffling them around in the drawer or canister to get the exact one you need. Hang anything from your cake spatulas, soup ladles, and even your cheese grater. That is a neat way to keep your kitchen organized and clean while making the most of a small space.

Kitchen towels can often become cluttered and take up more space than necessary. Shutterstock

You can quickly reorganize your kitchen by straightening up your kitchen towel drawer. Many times, people lay them on top of one another, limiting the number of towels in the drawer and creating a hassle when you’re trying to get them out.

You’ll be shocked to find out how many kitchen towels you can fit into one drawer. Utilizing this easy organization hack will be immediately satisfying.

54. Reorganize By Use and Category 

When reorganizing your kitchen, organize by use. Shutterstock

You may wonder what this means. It means to create zones for storage containers, pots and pans, and cooking utensils. For instance, inside your pantry, put all of the noodles together and all of the dried baking ingredients. You might also wish to dedicate a specific space or cabinet to your baking ingredients or bakeware. There might include storing your cookie sheets, bread pans, and cooling racks in a distinct and separate cabinet than your pots and pans. If you organize your kitchen items by their use, you will instantly feel more organized and have an overall sense of calmness because you will know exactly where everything is.

53. Purge Your Pantry

A cluttered space, especially in your kitchen or pantry, can create feelings of chaos. Shutterstock

You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed when you look at your pantry. Perhaps you don’t have any sense of organization or structure. One satisfying way to reorganize your kitchen and reset the tone is to purge your pantry. Spend 30 minutes and go through your pantry. Start by pulling out any expired items. Then sweep through your canned goods to determine what you should keep versus what you might be able to donate to a local food pantry. After purging anything that you don’t need, start organizing by grouping the remaining food by their category. You might have a section for baking goods and another that is full of snacks.

There is another way to declutter your mind and your space that costs absolutely nothing. It is a great starting point so that you can see where you are starting.

You can easily and quickly install a curtain rod in your pantry with a few hooks to hang up some of your most commonly used cleaning supplies.

Look for ways of using all the space in your kitchen by finding some narrow shelves on wheels. These can be placed between your fridge and your counter space; they slide right out when you need it — almost like a secret drawer! Having storage on wheels is ideal – you can move it to where you need it to be. There are also inner cupboard portable storage units you can have installed if you don’t have space for a shelving system on wheels. These storage units are fantastic for storing all sorts of things: fruit, drinks, extra kitchen items, and even spices.

Narrow shelving can be incredibly appealing to someone who may have a smaller kitchen or a lot of narrow spaces that are essentially wasted space. However, it’s essential to have a smaller space to truly maximize every inch of it and get the most out of your kitchen. The narrow shelves are a great alternative to store snacks, cups, sports drinks, or those fancy glasses that only come out a few times a year.

Dish detergent, sponges, brushes, rags, and more! Shoving them behind your faucet when you’re done cleaning isn’t the best way to store them — it only creates a smelly, mildew mess. Instead, get a nice caddy to keep everything neat. Get one that can clip onto the edge of your sink and has drainage holes for them to drip dry. We all tend to leave our sponges and washcloths lying there. Instead, this will allow them to dry correctly and save precious sink space. It only takes up a tiny bit of space in the corner of your sink.

You will be shocked at how much you can store, including cleaning products, extra sponges, or dishwasher pods. It will be a great way to organize your items rather than scrambling through to find what you are looking for.

Your kitchen tools can get lost in drawers pretty easily. On the other hand, a slide-out organizer makes it easy for you to see everything that’s there. Grab what you need and slide it back into place. You will need to get these organizers installed adequately unless you’re handy to work correctly. You can get them custom-built into your cabinets, and your life will be so much easier and more organized. It’s so lovely when you don’t have to go diving into a dark cupboard, and you can just pull it out and see everything easily to get the exact pot or pan you’re looking for.

One of the biggest pet peeves for deep cabinets is that you have to often dig through what is in the front to reach what might be in the back. It can cause frustration and take time, but it can sometimes even make the mess worse. The pull-out cabinet organizers are a great, hassle-free way to maximize your space without any added stress. You can pull out the cabinets and see all of the items you have stored in the back. The organizers make every item easily accessible, which will help ensure items remain organized and decluttered.
