Keep Your Kitchen Tidy with Organized Shelves and Cabinets

Keller Tenant Organizing the Pantry in Their KitchenKeeping your Keller kitchen clean requires more than cleaning regularly. It is important to use a good organization strategy to keep your dishes, pans, and food items within easy reach and where they belong. A few kitchens, cabinet and shelf space is limited. But, if you utilize some clever organizing hacks, you can quickly make the most of the storage space in your rental home’s kitchen.

The essential thing to remember about organizing a kitchen is that there should be a clear separation between the items you have in your upper cabinets, your lower cabinets, and your shelves. It is advised to keep dishes and glasses, cookbooks, and other often-used items in upper cabinets. In case you have a pantry, you can sort out all your food items instead of placing them all over the kitchen. Try grouping items according to food or container type, frequency of use, and so on. If you have pretty dishes or glassware, consider displaying them on open shelves in eye-pleasing groupings. Lower cabinets are best for heavy pots and pans, small appliances, mixing bowls, and cleaning products. Don’t forget to install cabinet locks for safety.

When you determine where your things should be placed, the next step is to develop an organizational strategy. Typically the most uncomplicated approach is the best. Probably the easiest way to organize kitchen shelves, cabinets, and drawers is to use organizers designed for that purpose. Just as silverware trays keep your utensils neatly in their place, the same relates to knife blocks and spice racks. A chaotic spice cabinet can make cooking in your kitchen a frustrating experience. However, through a little organization, you can reach your favorite spices without difficulty while putting some of the lesser-used items toward the back.

If the regular kitchen organizers are too limiting or too expensive, consider repurposing other types of organizers for use in the kitchen. For instance, a simple magazine holder can also be used to keep jars and random items in place. These items can also be used to organize cleaning supplies, with the most often used products placed in the front. Another office-to-kitchen crossover item is the file folder. In case you find an inexpensive large metal file organizer, it could be placed in a cabinet to keep baking pans, lids, and other loose items clean and safe. To keep the file rack in place, use a rubber-backed shelf liner or some hook-and-loop tape.

When it comes to canned foods, keeping everything neat and easy to see can be a problem for most people. Another way to keep canned goods organized is to use wire shelving designed for closets. The underside of wire closet shelving typically has a lip that, when tilted at a 45-degree angle, can make an excellent cabinet rack. As each can is used, the remaining cans will shift downward, making it less complicated for you to check your stock at a glance. A simple hack can benefit you in many ways, so you don’t need to find for loose cans or wonder what is inside that messy cabinet anymore.

Also, the best way to keep cleaning products organized and off the cabinet floor is to use a simple tension rod. By installing a tension rod inside a lower cabinet, you can then hang spray bottles, rags, and gloves. This fantastic technique will keep your items off the cabinet floor and your favorite things within easy grasp.

Organizing kitchen shelves and cabinets can be a real time-saver. It will also help you to know what things do you have on your storage and keep you from purchasing items that you don’t need. With just a few basic methods and a recycled item or two, you can easily reach the organized kitchen shelves and cabinets you’ve always wanted.
