Tips For Organizing Your Kitchen Like a Pro

The kitchen is probably the busiest part of your home, but it’s not an excuse to leave things all over the place. Decluttering and organizing can make your cooking area look neater and save you time on searching for stuff you need.

Learn how you can organize your kitchen like a professional chef from Handyman Connection® of Winter Park, your home improvement expert.

Sort by Purpose 

Allocate drawers for kitchen tools according to what they’re used for. Place together all the utensils you need to prepare your meals like mixing bowls and measuring cups. Keep your pots and pans in a separate drawer.

Put Labels on Containers 

Place labels on spices with similar containers. This can keep you from using the wrong ingredients for your meal. You can either use painters tape or a chalkboard for writing the labels.

Keep Things Where You Can See Them

It will be easier for you to find the knife you need by simply placing them on magnetic strip mounted on the wall. You can keep your dry goods on transparent containers so you immediately know what’s inside and which you’re short on.

Only Keep Gadgets That Can Multitask 

Get rid of kitchen gadgets that you don’t use to free up some space in your kitchen. Choose things with multiple purposes and avoid single-utility items like garlic presses or apple cutters. You can accomplish those tasks by simply using a knife.

Keep Your Essentials Close 

Place the things you always use and need near your cooking station. It’s a good idea to keep your cutting board, spatula and wooden spoons next to the stove.
