Fun Storage Ideas for Your Kitchen

If your kitchen seems cluttered, or you have a hard time knowing where to put items in your kitchen away, it might be time to think about how to organize your kitchen better. The following are a few tips for organizing your kitchen to make it easier to use and find things.

Creative and Fun Organizing Tips for Your Kitchen

• Use file sorters for lids and boards. Cutting boards and pan lids can take up a lot of space. When you store them upright, it's easy to see everything and your cutting boards dry more quickly. 
• Organize storage lids with a tiered shelf. Organize container lids separately from containers. Put them on a tiered shelf and label them according to color, size, or material.
• Use plastic see-through bins to store items in the refrigerator. This will help organize fridge items and maximize the storage potential of your fridge.
• Store cleaning sprays with a tension rod. Put a tension rod underneath the kitchen sink and hang cleaning sprays from it. 
• Use magazine holders to store water bottles. Water bottles can often become very unwieldy. Flip a magazine holder on its side and store water bottles horizontally.
• Use thrift store teacups as drawer organizers. Teacups can be very pretty and inexpensive to buy. These would be perfect for an odds and ends drawer in your kitchen.
• Store containers in undershelf baskets. Find a pretty undershelf basket and stow it in your cabinet. Place container lids under the corresponding containers to keep it organized.
• Divide drawers with tension rods. Place two tension rods in the middle of a sliding drawer to divide a drawer into three separate compartments. Store lids in the middle between the tension rods, store upright water bottles in a different compartment and containers in the other compartments.
• Store spices in magnetic spice containers. Attach spice containers to refrigerator sides, range hoods, or other metallic surfaces around the kitchen.
