Nothing is more appealing then a kitchen that is well organized. Using a few tricks and cheap DIY projects, your kitchen can turn into an organized palace of culinary art! Here are 7 useful Kitchen Organizing Tips and Tricks to help organize any kitchen.
Plastic Bins
If you have ever been the victim of kitchen utensils gone missing, this trick right here can be a life saver! Use plastic bins with or without the lids in cupboards to keep kitchen objects and utensils from getting lost in the clutter. They come in all different shapes and sizes, so finding the appropriate size for your cupboards will be a breeze. You can even use them to neatly store and organize plates and drink-ware!
Dowel Rod Dividers
Instead of stacking cutting boards and cooking sheets flat in the cupboards, use dowel rods to neatly divide the spaces! You can paint them any color you like and just fasten them to the top and bottom of the space with wood glue. If you do not want them to be permanent, buy thicker dowels and small Velcro rounds to attach them in place.
Glass Storage
Using glass jars and containers to store food in is not only practical, but keeps food fresher longer! You can buy glass canisters or simple save large and small glass jars from things like pasta sauce, pickles, and spreads. This will save on space and cut down on clutter.
Under-the-Cupboard Magnetic Storage
Again, using glass jars, you can organize smaller quantities of food, such as spices, in an easy to see and access magnetic system. Simply attach a magnetic trip underneath your cupboard space, store all spices, salts, and seasonings in jars with metal lids, and violla! You now have an attractive and convenient way to store spices without the clutter of a spice rack!
Tension Rod Hanger
Placing a tension rod under the sink allows for a very nifty hanging device. This will allow you to hang all your sprayer bottles neatly in one line for easy access and great organization. You can also use this trick over the sink to hang damp and wet dish towels.
Magazine Paper Cubby
If you lack space for properly storing wax, foil, and other cooking boxed papers, a magazine rack will tackle this chore for you with ease! All’s you need to do it attach the magazine rack to the inside door of a cabinet and that’s it! You will be able to store all small boxes of plastic bags, foil, plastic wrap, and so on in an easy to access way!
Organization Pockets
Under the sink storage can be a sloppy pain in the butt! If you have an old plastic shoe hanger laying around, put it to good use! Attaching one to each door under the sink will provide pocket space to keep brushes, scrubbers, sponges and more! This will save you time digging through messy bins.
Cork Board Frenzy
Using cork boards to line the inside doors of cabinets or pantries will not only save you room, but look fancy too. After you fix the cork to the inside of the door, simply use thumb tacks to hang up measuring spoons, cups, and even recipe cards. You can also add on some ribbon to match the color palette of your kitchen decor!
