I’ll bet you are wondering what I mean by “To Your Taste.” Well, what I mean is organize in a way that suits your taste or that of your family. I say that because as I always say if you organize in a way that is not comfortable for you and your family, I will bet that you will not stick to it. The more organized your kitchen is, the more inviting it will be and the more it is organized in your personal style, the easier it will be to maintain the more you will enjoy it.

My tips follow:

Take a quick inventory of your kitchen supplies. Are there items that you have unnecessary duplicates that you do not really need? If so, get rid of them. You can either save them for a garage sale or give them away. Then sort your kitchen items by use and size.

2. The way your kitchen is laid out will have an impact on how you organize your tools and cooking supplies. An island offers a wonderful workspace that also provides a good deal of storage. Sometimes you can find small islands on wheels that can be kept in a cupboard or pantry and only brought out when needed. These can be a great addition to a smaller kitchen.

3. Storing your bakeware near the oven is the logical thing to do. Sometimes the stove itself will have a storage drawer in the base where you can keep cookie sheets. Your other baking supplies like spatulas, wooden spoons, and sprinkles, can be stored in drawers near the oven, as well.

4. It is also a good idea to store your dishes, glassware, and silverware near the dishwasher or sink. This reduces the amount of time it takes to put things away after washing. There are many cupboard organizers that can help maximize your space for storing your dishes as well. There are mug trees and hooks that can help organize all the mugs and coffee cups and risers that can help expand space for dishes and spices as well.

5. There are many organization and storage units that can help increase your storage space. Even an extra set of shelves on top of the cabinet can increase your space. Canisters can help keep your baking supplies not only looking nice, but staying fresh longer. Open canisters also make a great place to store larger utensils that do o’t always fit well in the drawers.

Every kitchen is laid out differently, so it may take some experimenting to see what sort of system works best for you. But once you establish a system, you might be surprised at how much more organized your kitchen will be and how much more inviting your kitchen will feel.

The five tips may appear basic, however, basic is that you need to get your kitchen in order. Organization does not have to complicated. It just needs to be a plan that suits your family and lifestyle.
