Kitchen Space: 20 Organizing Tricks

Kitchen

Do you know what the secret is to make it look perfect? That everything is in order, something that will only come true if you put these organization tips into practice.

Organize the pantry.
Before they bring you the order from the supermarket, keep in mind how you are going to place the food to make the most of the shelf that acts as a pantry. First, reserve the bottom section for heavier, bulkier items like milk crates, bottles, or recycling bins. In this way, you will save space, give the shelf more consistency and leave the rest of the shelves free on which you will place the cans and packages that you use often.

Store on the roof.
If your kitchen utensils do not fit in the cabinets, use the ceiling as extra storage space. Fix a bar with hooks and hang pots, pans and saucepans from them. Get a stool, you will surely need it to reach them!

Put a cart in your life.
In the absence of a good pantry, there is always a practical multipurpose cart, in which you can place everything from kitchenware to food. The models with wheels allow them to be moved around the kitchen depending on what you need to have closer. And if you organize meals on the terrace, take it as a side table! What do you like?

Your best allies.
The most practical and simple solution to have extra storage in the kitchen is to place shelves on the walls and take advantage of those areas of white space, such as above the sink. In them you can hang whatever you want, from glasses, plates or cups to a string of garlic, place a practical dish drainer or your favorite coffee set.

A dual-use fridge.
If your fridge is arranged in such a way that one side is free, don’t think twice and take advantage of it. You can fix on it from narrow shelves to cork panels, even a clock to control the times when you cook or a mirror and thus create a greater feeling of spaciousness.

Everything under control.
Store cleaning products in a high cabinet to prevent children from accessing them. If you have a specific piece of furniture on the terrace, it may be the perfect place to group them. Failing that, you can take advantage of a shoe organizer and hang it on a closet door. Put a product in each compartment and problem solved!
