How to Organize a Small Kitchen

How Do You Arrange Things in a Small Kitchen?

1. Find alternative storage areas for infrequently used items, such as the basement, garage, under the stairs, or a nearby dining room buffet.

2. A compact cutlery tray can replace a traditional utensil holder, saving precious width, and a small two-tier lazy Susan can be more beneficial than a larger single-tier model.

3. Adjustable risers can make storing plates, bowls, and glasses easier in cramped cabinets. For pantries squeezed into the kitchen, tiered risers for cans and spice jars can dramatically increase your storage capabilities without taking up square footage.

4. If counter and storage space is minimal, consider introducing a cart on wheels; this flexible solution can provide a portable prep area and additional storage for cutting boards, knives, and other essentials. Look for a cart with features that match your needs, such as drawers, hooks, or even a drop-leaf table for extra workspace.

5. Installing open shelving can offer extra storage without the bulk of additional cabinets. A tall, narrow wheel cabinet can serve as a movable pantry for a similar effect without drilling holes.

6. Use containers to hide clutter and keep your kitchen looking neat and organized.

7. Install a back-of-the-door organizer to hold snacks, spices, baking goods, and more. Adhesive hooks can hang oven mitts, measuring cups, or cutting boards inside cabinet doors.

How do I decide where to put things in my kitchen?

1. Empty all cabinets and drawers to begin with a clean slate

2. As you remove items, discard or donate duplicates, broken items, or things you no longer use or need.

3. Sort items into categories by grouping all baking essentials, all cooking tools, dishes, glassware, and so forth.

4. Determine the best location for each category within your kitchen layout.

5. Use clear containers to store items.

6. Use Lazy Susans in cabinets for oils, vinegar, and spices or the refrigerator for drinks and condiments.

7. Use drawer dividers to help maintain order in utensils and "junk" drawers by providing a specific place for each item.

How Do You Arrange Appliances in a Small Kitchen?

1. Keep appliances in categories.

2. Place large appliances like ovens next to cooktops and fridges near freezers to streamline your cooking process.

3. Storing frequently used appliances at an easily reachable height, ideally at hip level, while you can store less used items on higher shelves or at the back.

4. Store heavy appliances such as stand mixers on lower shelves.

5. Maintain clutter-free countertops by storing appliances away in cabinets and drawers wherever possible.

6. Explore solutions for hiding cords, such as clips or decorative elements for appliances that remain on the countertop.

Rethink the Layout

Consider a minor renovation or a reorganization based on your kitchen activity. Adding pull-out drawers, extending cabinets to the ceiling, and integrating shelves in underused spaces can make a significant difference.

Built-in kitchen appliances like ovens, cooktops, hoods, and microwaves are essential for achieving a sleek, streamlined look; they are designed to fit perfectly within your kitchen's architecture, offering a smooth transition between cooking and living spaces.
