Easy Kitchen Organisation Tips

1. Pretend pull-outs. I have so many kitchen gadgets that get lost in the back of my deep cabinets that I forget I even have them! Here is a tip from Everyday Organizing: use plastic bins as pull-outs! Take it a step further and group your items into different categories and label each one.

2. Tension rod dividers- Instead of stacking your cutting boards, oven trays, and platters, use those short tension curtain rods to create dividers. Now you can place them upright for easy access and visibility.

3. Glass jars with scoops- Using glass or plastic containers to store your baking goods makes it easy to see what you have, and easily & quickly use.

4. Kitchen counter lazy Susan. Keep a variety of your favorite kitchen essentials on a revolving lazy susan! This is great for small spaces; taking up less room and keeping the things you use often, handy.

5. Hanging shelf dividers.Hanging shelf dividers are also useful in taking advantage of empty space. I love this idea for smaller and lighter items, such as tupperware lids or plastic plates.

6. Pocket organiser- This is kind of like the idea behind a hanging shoe rack, only made for items kept under the kitchen sink. Love it! Keep your sponges and gloves out of sight to dry off. I also like this idea for the smaller items that tend to get lost under the sink, like the sink plug, etc.

7. PVC wine rack, Create a custom wine rack using 4-inch PVC pipe found at a hardware store! This is great because you can make it to fit any space, and paint it to match your kitchen’s decor.

8. Drawer dividers- Keep those drawers organized with drawer dividers. They’re great for drawers containing smaller items. I could use some of these for my junk drawer. I can’t find anything in there!

9. Interior cork board cupboards- Attach a cork board to the inside of your cabinet(s) to pin recipes, a measurement converter, and hooks for hanging measuring spoons and cups.
