6 Quick Kitchen Organizing Ideas - Rustic Brick Kitchen

This year I decided to make a concentrated effort on organizing my kitchen and most importantly, keeping it that way. When I started organizing the kitchen, I looked for some organizational tools that would help and I found some amazing things that would keep everything ship shape in no time.

“My life at home gives me absolute joy. There are some days when, as soon as you’ve finished cooking breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, it’s time to start lunch, and by the time you’ve done that, you’re doing dinner and thinking, ‘There has to be a menu we can order from’.”
Julia Roberts

You don’t have to use all of the kitchen organizing ideas below, but if you start on a section of your kitchen at a time, pretty soon your kitchen will be a clutter-free environment.

Here’s How to Make Your Kitchen Organizing Plan a Reality:

1. Organized Kitchen Cabinets

If you’re like me, there’s never enough cupboard space. The key to kitchen organizing is to optimize each cabinet’s space and make sure you’re using every square space.

Cutting Board Organization

Hold your cutting boards in an out-of-a-way-place like the back of your cupboard door.

This SimpleHouseware Over the Cabinet Door Organizer Holder is a Best Seller on Amazon for a reason.

Organizing your Spices

I always keep my spices in one of my kitchen cupboards, and they were definitely one of the most annoying spots of my house. I have a large variety of spices and finding the right one would take several minutes every time I cooked.

I finally took the time to find shelves that would hold my spices and it made cooking so much easier. Decide what the problem areas of your kitchen and match it with a kitchen organizing solution. Sometimes it is as simple as buying one item that makes your life a whole lot better.

One of the ladies in the Cozy Living Group decided to tackle their spice section of their kitchen. She bought new spice bottles with matching labels and now loves going into that section of the pantry because it looks so good and everything is easy to find.

After she bought all the spice jars – she decided to buy tea canisters for her tea blends. You can find the matching tea canisters here.
