There is no better way to refresh your kitchen for the new year than to declutter and organize your space. I have a few kitchen organization ideas below that are perfect for kitchens large and small. Start with a major cleanout and declutter of your space, then implement one or more of the ideas below to keep everything tidy.
The leading nemesis of any home is paper clutter. If you have some kitchen counter to spare, a large organizer will work wonders at getting the chaos in order. We use a large organizer on our kitchen counter to sort different papers and mail. You can pick up these organizers in a variety of sizes at most big box stores.
Try a lazy susan on top of your counters to keep things tidy and within reach. Utensils, canisters and more can find a home on one of these devices. Spin for easy access to your necessities. This also frees up precious drawer space in your kitchen.
A line of canisters can hold snacks for kids within easy reach and keep everything looking neat and organized. We love using chalkboard labels on the front of ours, but that is completely optional. This is another kitchen cabinet space saver, as those boxes of snacks won’t be in your pantry any longer.
In a kitchen, every bit of space is prime real estate. Use the side of a refrigerator or cabinet for a family command center to keep on schedule. You can use command hooks to hang a corkboard, chalkboard, clipboards and more. Put the kids’ schedules, your meal plan and anything else that needs to be easily accessible.
Now let’s have a look inside those cabinets and drawers for some organizing ideas. Corral small items into bins and boxes within your cabinets to keep like things together. This works great for those pesky plastic lids and bowls as well.
Add plastic shelves and bins to the interior of a cabinet for additional stackable storage. A caddy for items such as cleaning supplies also works wonders. Just remove to complete daily tasks and pop back into the cabinet once your cleaning is complete.
Do you ever hate those pesky pot lids? There is no way to stack them, and they seem to always be a mess. Try some cup hooks on the inside of your cabinets to hang those lids out of the way. This is a great, low-cost solution for a common kitchen clutter problem.
Speaking of pesky baking items, baking sheets and muffin tins can take up tons of room in your kitchen. Grab a file folder organizer that can serve double duty in your kitchen. These can be found in the office organization area of your store or even in the kitchen organization section of some.
When completing your kitchen refresh, don’t forget the drawers! Use plastic dividers intended for drawers for an organization system that will last. Then you can actually find those items when you need them later.
Refresh your kitchen for the new year with one or more of these kitchen organization ideas. Your kitchen will be cleaner and more organized, and you will feel renewed.
