Kitchens are the hearts of our home. We spend time in our kitchens with family and friends preparing and sharing food. Kitchens are a place of bonding and learning and a place for those we care for, which means we use them a lot. This is why our kitchens have a tendency to become cluttered and disorganized.
Cluttered kitchens can tend to look dirty even when they’re technically spotless. This is because our eyes will immediately focus on the busy counters and see the mess, even when they’re technically isn’t any.
It can be hard to maintain the balance between a well-stocked kitchen and an untidy kitchen if you don’t have the proper organization in place to keep things where they need to be. To prevent it, here are five storage ideas for your kitchen to make sure you have a home for everything, and everything in its place.

Invest in custom drawer organizers
Drawers filled with miscellaneous tools, cutlery, and devices means you won’t be able to find anything when you’re in the middle of cooking a meal. To prevent your drawers from getting jammed or from feeling like you can’t find anything, invest in custom drawer organizers that will allow you to have neat cubbyholes for anything you need. Need more storage for a limited amount of time? You can rent furniture that you will only need for a limited amount of time to offer more storage in your kitchen.

Rent appliances that you won’t need forever
If you have a big dinner party coming up or an event that you want to cook a particular meal for, but you need a specific appliance, consider getting home appliances on rent it if you won’t need it forever. Getting home appliances on rent can allow you to try out an appliance or prepare the meal you need without spending all that money to buy it.

Set up a baking zone
Baking can be messy, which means that it will be a lot easier to keep your kitchen organized if you set up a baking zone. Whether this is a section of the counter, an island, or an upper or lower cabinet, you can devote this space to your baking utensils and implements to keep them all in one place for when you need them and to stop them from getting scattered around the kitchen.
-
Purge your pantry
People tend to hoard food we don’t need. Whether it’s a half-finished bag of masala popcorn, spices that are years old, or cans of food you will never eat, our pantries can quickly become overrun with food we won’t eat. To keep your kitchen tidy, purge your pantry of these unneeded, unwanted or expired foods and see how much space you reclaim.

Organize your recipes
Whether it’s for amazing pastries, your mother-in-law’s best dish, or meals you know your family will always love, there are loads of recipes that we have to keep close at hand. To keep your recipes all in one place and to make sure you never misplace them, create a recipe box that is organized by type of dish and laminate each recipe. This will keep everything organized and prevent you from losing any precious recipes. Even better? Back them up online to make sure you can share them and that they will never disappear.
