Organise your kitchen to make the most of your space
Whether you’re an enthusiastic chef or a reluctant cook, knowing how to organise your kitchen will help you take advantage of every last inch of space in your kitchen.
We’re talking about that space in between shelves, cupboards, drawers and kitchen furniture — the place where the magic happens. We’ll give you some practical ideas on how to organise your kitchen like a pro. Because the truth is that a clean, neat and tidy kitchen will not only bring you a sense of calm, it will make your home safer too.
Four ways to organise your kitchen in no time
1-Arrange foods by type and best before date
Let’s be honest, when our kitchen cupboards get messy, there’s always one packet or jar we forget all about — and by the time we’ve bought three more it has gone out of date. It’s happened to us all.
To prevent pantry chaos, the best way to organise your kitchen cupboards is to empty them completely.
Place cans, beans, pasta, rice etc. on a table and sort them by type and best before date. Using matching containers will help you to organise them better.
You can also use folding kitchen shelves to keep everything tidy and under control.
2. Oh, kitchen drawers, why do we love you?
Our drawers can create order or chaos. It all depends on the tools that we give them to stay tidy.
Kitchen inserts or organisers are essential when we’re thinking about how to organise our kitchen.
For example, a cutlery tray is always a useful way to organise your knives, forks, spoons and utensils. There is also a range of solutions for storing pots and pot lids, for example, which can make life much easier.
3-Use wall storage
If space in your kitchen is limited, wall storage is the best way to get your kitchen organised.
Hooks, bars, containers and shelves will keep everything in reach while also giving your kitchen style and personality.
4. Use additional kitchen furniture
Kitchen islands and trolleys are another very useful way to expand your kitchen furniture. They provide extra space while simultaneously helping to declutter your kitchen without the need for a full refurbishment. For larger kitchens, an island is a great solution, while smaller ones might want to stick to a kitchen trolley.
As well as being very useful, practical and functional, kitchen trolleys can be moved around with little effort.
