Most of us start our day with a cup of coffee/tea in the morning and end it with a delicious dinner and numerous other dishes are being cooked throughout the day. But none of this is possible daily if our kitchens are not organized. The idea of organization is not only to help just one person in the kitchen but should be easily accessible for other family members as well.
So, we have come up with some simple tips to help you effortlessly keep an organized kitchen. Follow these tips to make the busiest place in the house the most organized:
1. Divide and Rule!

Interior designers design the kitchen to ensure the smooth and proper functioning of the kitchen, even if many people are working in a small space. You can achieve the same by allocating a zone for each chore, such as cooking, prepping, washing, storage, etc.
2. Kitchen Organizers

As the name suggests, kitchen-organizing products help keep things organized, grouped, and ordered, making the space look cleaner and easier to find things.
Pan holders, cutlery storage, spice racks, and drawer organizers are some kitchen organizers you can invest in.

Instead of helping in proper storage and organization of the kitchen, wrong-sized containers that don’t fit into your kitchen shelves clutter the space even more by crowding the countertops and tables. First rule of an organised kitchen is buying containers of various sizes to accommodate varying amounts of grains and groceries. Make sure that they are stackable and transparent.

Vertical space remains unused most of the time, and to optimize the space usage; you can hang pans with hooks and store things on vertical shelves and racks. This is a brilliant storage method, especially in a small kitchen. For example, you can have a vertical janitor’s cupboard to keep cleaning supplies.

Nothing could be better than all the ingredients laid out before you when cooking, especially when you are short of time. Transparent labeled containers and open shelves for storage will help you achieve this aim and keep your countertops clean.
6. Stack

It is the easiest thing you can do to organize your kitchen. Imagine you have some stackable utensils that are currently not in use. All you have to do is gather them together and stack them upon each other, Ta-Daa! Not only are they easy to carry while storing someplace, but they would also occupy less space.
7. Clean it!

It might sound obvious, but it is the most crucial step toward an organized kitchen. How often could you not find the needed item because you kept it somewhere on the countertop or knocked something down while cooking? Try to keep your countertops decluttered and clean. That way, cooking will take less time and cleaning will be easier too. Checkout our guide on how to organise those messy kitchens!
8. Do the Dishes

Never let your dishes pile up and wash them as soon as you finish eating so that you are ready with all the items for the next time you cook, and also free from the fuss of washing them before cooking! You can also dedicate some time to cleaning your kitchen each night after dinner. That way there will never be a shortage of regular utensils like cups, spoons, forks, and plates.
9. Save your Nose!
Jokes aside, nobody likes the foul odor coming from the kitchen garbage. Therefore, it becomes necessary to place dustbins properly to ensure zero odor and no flies in the kitchen. You can achieve this by providing separate cabinets for dustbins. Try to have two separate dustbins for dry and wet wastes to help in waste management.
