Keeping your Theodore kitchen clean entails more than cleaning it regularly. It often necessitates using a good organization strategy to keep your dishes, pans, and food items within easy reach and where they belong. In many kitchens, cabinet and shelf space is limited. Nevertheless, by adopting some clever organizing hacks, you can quickly make the most of the storage space in your rental home’s kitchen.
A good thing to know about organizing a kitchen is that there should be a clear separation between the pieces you put in your upper cabinets, your lower cabinets, and your shelves. It is a good practice to keep dishes and glasses, cookbooks, and other often-used items in upper cabinets. In case you have a pantry, group all your food items rather than putting them in randomly. Try grouping items according to food or container type, frequency of use, and so on. If you happen to 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.
As soon as you figure out the places where your items would sit, the next step is to develop an organizational strategy. The easiest ones are always more simple. One of the most uncomplicated ways to organize kitchen shelves, cabinets, and drawers is to use organizers designed for that purpose. Just as silverware trays keep your utensils neatly in their place, this is also a fact for knife blocks and spice racks. A chaotic spice cabinet can make cooking in your kitchen a frustrating experience. But with organization, you can put your favorite spices close and within an arm’s length while putting some of the lesser-used items toward the back.
If store-bought 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 They could likewise be utilized to organize cleaning supplies, with the most commonly used items positioned in the front. Another office-to-kitchen crossover item is the file folder. If you can locate an inexpensive large metal file organizer, it could be placed in a cabinet to keep baking pans, lids, and other loose items neat. To hold the file rack in place, use a rubber-backed shelf liner or some hook-and-loop tape.
It’s a whole other thing when we say canned foods, keeping them neat and easy to spot can be a real challenge. One proven way to keep canned goods organized is to recycle 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, all the remaining cans will shift downward, making it easy to check your stock at a glance. Armed with a simple hack like this one, you will restrict the cases of hunting for loose cans or not know what’s in that messy cabinet ever again.
One genius way to keep cleaning products organized and off the cabinet floor is to use a simple tension rod. Just by installing a tension rod inside a lower cabinet, you can then hang spray bottles, rags, and gloves. This system 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 could also help you recognize what you have on standby, and keeps you from getting stuff that is only a waste of time and money. With a few simple procedures and recycled items, one can easily build the organized kitchen shelves and cabinets you’ve always wanted.
