I am always on the search for ways to make preparing meals for my family easier and quicker. Our kitchens are the most used space in our homes and kitchen organization is key. Use these 7 ideas to help your kitchen run more smoothly. These ideas can easily be done in most kitchen.
Use a counter tray for your most-used cooking items
Having a tray on the counter keeps kitchen essentials handy, without making the counter look messy or cluttered. Storing your most used items such as olive oil, salt, pepper, cooking utensils, etc. in one place makes preparing meals quicker. Gather your most used items and find a tray or even a cake stand to place them on.

Floating Shelves
Do you have extra wall space in your kitchen? Add floating shelves where there aren’t cabinets to store and display dishes, tumblers, bowls, cookbooks, etc. This frees up space in your cabinets for items you don’t want out on display. It offers a less bulky alternative to cabinetry while providing storage space, functionality, and charm.
Drawer for dry baking goods
Keep all your dry baking goods such as flours, sugars, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in one place. A drawer with covered bins is a perfect place for easy access to them while you’re baking.
Dish Storage
Keep your everyday china in a drawer. Putting dishes in a drawer can be much easier than putting them in a cabinet, especially when kids are helping to set the table and put the dishes away.
Spice Organizer
Being able to see all your spices at one glance is a time saver.

Use Turntables
Using turntables in your cabinets and pantry is a must for kitchen organization because they make it easier to see the items you are looking for. It also helps keep all your similar items together.
Baking Sheet Dividers
Organize your baking sheets, muffin tins, and cutting boards with cabinet dividers or pull-out drawers. This allows you to quickly see them and grab the ones you need.
