Remodeling your kitchen or even just installing new kitchen cabinets is exciting. You have the opportunity to redo the room in your house that sees the most use and your family spends a lot of time in. After all, that’s where the food is. If you’re the person who does most of the cooking in your family, you know the importance of organization. But how do you keep your kitchen cabinets organized? At Cabinet Depot, we want you to get the most out of your new kitchen.
Here are some helpful tips to keep your kitchen cabinets organized.
Small stuff on top, big stuff on the bottom.
First things first: sort out what belongs in the upper cabinets and what goes under the counter. A good rule of thumb is to put small things in the higher cabinets and larger and heavier items in the cabinets under the counter. Dishes and glassware are breakable, so you don’t want those near the floor. You want your appliances to be easily accessible when you’re cooking, so it makes more sense to put them in the lower cabinets. And of course, cleaning supplies belong in the cabinet under the sink. Everyone knows that.
Clear away the clutter.
The best time to get rid of items you don’t use is when you’re redoing your kitchen. You have to empty all your cabinets anyway, so why not go through everything and pass on what you don’t use? We all have those appliances or gadgets that we thought we’d use all the time but haven’t touched in years. Free up some space in your kitchen cabinets by throwing out or giving away items you don’t need.
Think about what you use the most.
Keep the items you use the most often within easy reach. We all have our favorite knife or mixing bowl, and you want to keep those items handy. If there’s something you use occasionally, but not every day, put it somewhere you can easily find it. But don’t store it where it will get in the way of the items you use all the time.
