Kitchen Drawer Organization Hacks
10. Organize your drawers diagonally
This kitchen organization hack works really well if you are storing longer items in your kitchen that you are having trouble organizing vertically in your drawers. I also like this organization because it’s just simply a nontraditional way of organizing that adds a little bit of flair to your drawers!
11. Give everything a home
When it comes to organizing your kitchen, everything has to have a home. EVERYTHING. Having a designated place for everything from the beginning 1. Makes it easier to organize and 2. Makes it easier for you to actually KEEP your kitchen organized.
Keeping things here and there promotes clutter which is what we are trying to avoid. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- Place similar items together: ex. baking tools, storage containers, etc.
- Organize by usage: ex. spices by the oven, utensils by plates, cups by the fridge, etc.
12. Stack similar items in deep drawers
If you have deep kitchen drawers, you definitely don’t want all of that vertical space going to waste. To maximize this space, try stacking casserole dishes, pots, pans, and baking sheets that fit together!
