In recent years, it has become increasingly necessary to keep kitchen drawers organized, as many prefer to keep their dishes and cookware in drawers rather than cabinets. Drawers are an essential part of any kitchen, but they are especially important in a small kitchen when space is at a premium. You can have them made to fit your specific requirements, making it easier to find what you need in the kitchen without having to rummage around in cluttered cupboards. Having a smart kitchen drawer organization system and smart storage is important if you want your kitchen to be not only useful but also a pleasant and family-friendly place to spend time cooking and cleaning. Let’s go over some clever ways to organize your kitchen drawers.
Take everything out of the drawers
You should start by emptying your kitchen drawers if you want to get things in order. After that, separate everything into three piles:
Give
Keep
Trash
Toss out everything you don't need, anything missing a part (hello, Tupperware), or anything broken. Your findings will astound you.
Now is the perfect time to evaluate the value of that extra piece of cookware eating up precious cabinet space. As you clean out your kitchen cabinets, you may be shocked by the number of duplicate items. Try to keep only the necessary ones and give the rest to charity.
Place regularly used items in convenient locations
In order to organize your kitchen drawers, you should find a spot for everything and stick to it. Drawers for storing things can be made unusually deep to conceal a lot of clutter, but this doesn't necessarily make them easier to use. Using your nonstick frying pan is inconvenient if it's always buried under a stack of five other pots and pans. Be sure to give your most important possessions their own space.
Use corkboard tiles to prevent your cutlery from sliding around
It's a good idea to invest in some corkboard tiles (which you can cut to size if need be) to line the bottom of a large drawer in your kitchen that contains a wide variety of utensils to prevent the utensils from sliding around every time the drawer is opened and closed.
Magnets with some contact paper can also hold metal cookware in place. Use double-sided tape to secure the magnet inside the drawer. Now every time you open your drawer, your knives, and other metal implements will stay in place. To further strengthen the safety of your cutlery drawer, you can attach a magnet to a piece of cardboard and use it to cover the cutting edge of your knives. With the magnet's help, it'll stay put, yet it's still within easy reach. However, when packing sharp objects, like knives, you should use protective materials. This might be especially helpful if your kids are old enough to use the utensil drawers alone.
Install turntables in your cabinetry
Turntables in the kitchen are an invaluable tool for optimizing the use of restricted floor space and helping you organize your kitchen drawers. They are one of the best tools to help you be more organized. You can use them to arrange your spice collection or to locate that one bottle of spicy sauce that is perfect for your tastes. In a similar vein, you may make use of them to organize and neatly store oil bottles in the kitchen cabinet that is situated directly next to the range.
Use magnets to create a rack for your spices
To create a spice rack, you can install a sheet of magnetic tin inside your kitchen cabinet. The magnet's pulling power should be sufficient to hold some metal in place. Even though magnetic racks are a common sight on the inside and back of the fridge, you shouldn't use them to arrange the contents of your pantry.
Keep your pots and pans in deep drawers
If you use your pots and pans frequently, it is far more convenient to have them all in one easily accessible location, such as a deep drawer, rather than scattered across many cabinets. The graduated drawer units are perfect for storing your lids in the shallow top drawers and your pots and pans in the deep bottom drawers.
When you open and close the drawer, stacked pots and pans can scratch and rattle against one another. Putting a pan rack inside a drawer can address the problem, giving you more room to store and retrieve your cookware. A kitchen designer can help you decide between vertical and horizontal layouts and more unique choices. You can purchase pan guards to line the bottom of the drawer if you decide to stack, which will avoid scratches.
Extend the existing shelves by adding more of them
Adding on to the space that you already have is the most effective method for organizing and creating additional room for kitchen appliances. If you want to keep things in order, you should make good use of the available vertical storage space for kitchen appliances. If you want to keep things in order, you should use the available vertical space. Similarly, if you require additional vertical space while still desiring to preserve order, you may add more shelves to your existing shelves.
Try rolling your kitchen towels
If it can survive in hotel rooms, it can survive in your kitchen drawer. To avoid spreading germs to the rest of your towels and to organize your kitchen drawers, roll them up instead of folding them. Towels are bulkier and more awkward to wiggle out from the top of a pile and tuck away under a drawer. Troublesome jams in drawers are now a thing of the past.
