Best organizing tips for your kitchen cabinets to improve your storage space

Cabinet organization can give you headaches. It’s not always easy to reach the pot that you need or find the utensil that slices the eggs.

The kitchen is the hardest room in the house to keep organized, that’s if you don’t have a playroom or a play area. There are drawers that have lots of utensils, some barely used.

We have overflowing cupboards, where stuff gets at the back and you forget you even have them.

We end up buying new things just to find out 2 days later we already have them. Or we end up throwing away expired foods that were stuck at the back of your cupboard.

Definitely, everyone has a junk drawer where you can find everything from pens to bills to unpaired socks from 4 years ago when your first child was a newborn.

Make your life easier and implement some of these great cabinet organization ideas.

Where to put things in kitchen cabinets

Because we talk about organizing our kitchen I think figuring out where everything should go in the first place should be our first focus.

We have a lot of things that go into our kitchen cabinets and where you put things in your kitchen can make a huge difference.

Silverware, dishes, and pots that you use on a daily basis should go into cabinets close to the dishwasher and your sink. This way you don’t have to walk a lot when you put them back into the cabinets.

Pots and other cooking or baking utensils should go somewhere in between dishwasher and the stove so they are in your reach when you cook but are also easy to put back.

To cut your walking around the kitchen, cooking supplies have to go next to the stove.

Just think where you use the items the most in your kitchen and place them in that area. Spices next to the stove and dish detergent next to the sink.
