Organization Ideas For The Kitchen

To simplify things, I have categorized all the ideas by topic. This way, you can quickly find ideas that interest you the most. When you come across an idea you like, just click the “Read More” button to access the blog post, which will have more information on that organization tip. You can then pin or bookmark any ideas you want to read more about later!

Kitchen Countertop Organization

Let's start with the space that you see every day – your kitchen countertop! Regardless of the size of your kitchen, your countertop is prime real estate for storage. Check out the kitchen organization ideas below that show you how to best utilize this space.

Organizing your kitchen -- tons of ideas and inspiration!

Use Large Organizers

The main nemesis of any home is paper clutter. If you have some kitchen counter space 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 at most big box stores in a variety of sizes.

Organize With A Lazy Susan

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

Use Canister With Chalkboard Labels

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.

Cabinet Organization

Now, let's talk about the inside of our cabinets! Whether your cabinets are long, short, or in a weird shape, these ideas can help you create systems for all your kitchen items. We included ideas for bowls, pot lids, bakeware, and more!

Corral Like Items Together

Corral small items into bins and boxes inside your cabinets to keep like things together. This works great for those pesky plastic lids and bowls as well.

Make Your Own Cleaning Caddy

Add plastic shelves and bins to the interior of a cabinet for additional stack-able 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.

Use Cup Hooks To Hang Pot Lids

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.

Use A File Folder For Baking Organization

Speaking of pesky items, baking sheets and muffin tins can take up tons of room in your kitchen. Grab a file folder organizer that can serve up 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.

Kitchen Drawer Organization

Our kitchen drawers are usually the last thing we want to organize because they become a hodgepodge of kitchen utensils and junk. Use the tips below to organize your drawers in the way that suits you best, while also giving them a bit of style!

Use Plastic Drawer Organizers To Create Systems That Work

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.

Command Center Organization

Finally, we can't talk about kitchen organization and not talk about a command center! If you are looking to update your current system or create a new one, the idea below is perfect for you!

Refrigerator Command Center -- a great way to get your family more organized in the kitchen.

Create A Command Center

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. Display the kids’ schedules, your meal plan, and anything else that needs to be easily accessible.
