Keeping your Mars kitchen neat means more than cleaning regularly. It also means using a good organization strategy to keep your dishes, pans, and food items within easy reach and where they belong. Almost all kitchens, cabinet and shelf space is limited. However, by using some clever organizing hacks, you can quickly make the most of the storage space in your rental home’s kitchen.
The next thing you need to know about organizing a kitchen is that there should be a clear separation among those things you retain in your upper cabinets, your lower cabinets, and your shelves. It is better to keep dishes and glasses, cookbooks, and other often-used items in upper cabinets. If you do have a pantry, sort all your food items instead of throwing them in carelessly. Consider grouping items according to food or container type, frequency of use, and so on. In case you have pretty dishes or glassware, consider displaying them on open shelves in eye-pleasing groupings. Lower cabinets are best for heavy pots and pans, small appliances, mixing bowls, and cleaning products. Don’t forget to install cabinet locks for safety.
When you know where your things should be put, the next move is to develop an organizational strategy. Often, the easiest solutions are the best. One of the best techniques to organize kitchen shelves, cabinets, and drawers is to use organizers designed for that purpose. Just like silverware trays keep your utensils neatly in their place, the same applies to knife blocks and spice racks. A chaotic spice cabinet can make cooking in your kitchen a frustrating experience. But with some organization, you can keep your favorite spices close within reach while putting some of the lesser-used items toward the back.
When typical kitchen organizers are too limiting or too expensive, consider repurposing other types of organizers for use in the kitchen. For instance, a simple magazine holder can also be used to keep jars and random items organized. They may also be used to organize cleaning supplies, with the most commonly used items put at the front. Another office-to-kitchen crossover item is the file folder. If you can find an inexpensive large metal file organizer, it could be placed in a cabinet to keep baking pans, lids, and other loose items clean. If you want to keep the file rack upright, use a rubber-backed shelf liner or some hook-and-loop tape.
When it comes to canned foods, keeping everything neat and easy to see can be a real problem. Another method to keep canned goods organized is to utilize wire shelving designed for closets. The underside of wire closet shelving typically has a lip that, when tilted at a 45-degree angle, can make an excellent cabinet rack. As each can is used, the remaining cans will shift downward, to make it simple to check your stock at a glance. With the help of this simple hack, you will never have to search for loose cans or guess what’s in that messy cabinet anymore.
Lastly, a perfect method to keep cleaning products organized and off the cabinet floor is to use a simple tension rod. Through installing a tension rod inside a lower cabinet, you can then hang spray bottles, rags, and gloves. This procedure will keep your items off the cabinet floor and your favorite things within easy grasp.
Organizing kitchen shelves and cabinets can be a real time-saver. It can also help you to know what you have on hand and avoiding purchasing things you don’t need. With a few basic techniques and a repurposed product or two, you can easily achieve the organized kitchen shelves and cabinets you’ve always wanted.
