The kitchen, being the place where we prepare our delicious meals, requires great organization in order to keep everything at the right place and thus make the cooking process easier. And even if the kitchen is a small one, there are many possible ways to organize your kitchen tools and below are listed some of the most common ones.
Drawers
Drawers are a must for every kitchen. You can have as many as you can fit in your kitchen, and this doesn’t only include having the plain drawers, but also some vertical or corner ones. In this way, you can use the space well and thus have everything organized. Look for drawers with dividers, so that you can find the needed utensil in a shorter time.
Pegboard
A pegboard is definitely a great organization tool for the kitchen utensils. It’s more like an alternative to open shelves and since it can be painted easily, it can also serve as a wall decor. It can be placed on some empty wall in the kitchen, so that you can hang some of the kitchen utensils or can also serve as a backsplash.
Shelves
Just like drawers, shelves are always in for organizing and storing different items. You can have them in the kitchen cabinets, or you may even go for open shelving. This is an easy way to display the glassware, plates, cups etc. Feel free to add some decorative centerpiece, or choose some colorful kitchen tools to add a pop of color.
Empty Side Of The Kitchen Cabinet
The side of the kitchen cabinet is most often left empty but can be the perfect place for storing some of the kitchen utensils. Simply add some hooks to hang them, or maybe add some shelves. This can also be the place for displaying your cookbook collection.
Be creative!
And of course, you should try to be creative when organizing your kitchen. If you are a DIY lover, you can try to make some storage tool. For instance, you can get some empty jars and paint them in some color that will fit in with the rest of the kitchen decor. Add some tags on the jars and thus have a separate jar for spoons, forks or knives. Place the jars on the countertop and have the utensils at hand.
When decorating your kitchen, you should always make sure to use every inch of the space available. So, think out of the box and don’t only stick to the classical storage and organization ways. The above ideas are just some of the many possible and hopefully, you will try to incorporate them in your kitchen too.
