Tips on Organizing Your Kitchen Cabinets

A well-planned and organized kitchen will give you a neat space and a sense of happiness! The best place to start organizing your kitchen is in your cabinets. When your cabinets are organized according to your needs, you can save yourself countless amounts of time and effort when it comes to cooking, eating, and hosting guests! In this article, we’ll go over a few tips on organizing your kitchen cabinets!

Declutter 

Unless you’re looking into replacing your kitchen cabinets, you can’t make your cabinet space grow bigger. Instead, you can take advantage of the space you do have by decluttering your cabinets. Cabinets typically begin to clutter when you have more things coming in than going out, resulting in the accumulation of things in your cupboards. So, how can you declutter your kitchen cabinet? Start by taking out all the items from your cabinets and sorting them into piles of what you need and what you don’t. Get rid of any food or items that you aren’t going to use, and be realistic! When you put everything else back into your cabinets, do it in an orderly fashion and make sure not to overload them. Don’t forget to clean out that “junk drawer”!

Good Cleaning 

After clearing out all the items you don’t need, make sure to clean your cabinets thoroughly! Cleaning kitchen cabinets may seem tedious and unnecessary, but it doesn’t have to be. You can quickly and efficiently clean each cabinet by following these steps:

• Find an appropriate cleaner 
• Clear out the cabinets 
• Wipe down the interior, including all the hard-to-reach spots 
• Wipe down the exterior 
• Clean around the hardware 
• Final wipe down 
• Allow for time to dry before loading everything back in 

Categorize Your Kitchen Items 

The next step in organizing your kitchen cabinets is perhaps the most important: reorganizing your items into categories. Organize products by how they are used in your family’s kitchen. Don’t get too caught up in appearance; a kitchen cabinet’s function comes first. Most people want to keep food separate from cookware and utensils in their kitchen cabinets. Immediately separate your items into these groups, then further divide your items into smaller groups. The small nuances are up to you, but the goal is to keep each section together after everything is back in the cabinets. 

Make Things Accessible

If you want your cabinets to stay organized, it’s crucial to make your cookware, dishes, and food as accessible as possible. Store frequently used items in easy-to-reach locations at the front of cabinets or in canisters on the counter. For lasting results, ensure items are placed in their designated position after each use and not left lying about in a disorderly manner.
