Preserving your Boca Raton kitchen takes a lot more than cleaning it regularly. You also should be using a good organization strategy to keep your dishes, pans, and food items within easy reach and where they belong. In almost all kitchens, cabinet and shelf space is limited. Yet, by using a few clever organizing hacks, you can quickly make the most of the storage space in your rental home’s kitchen.
An important fact to know about organizing a kitchen is that you should put up a clear separation amongst the items you stow in your upper cabinets, your lower cabinets, and your shelves. Be sure to keep dishes and glasses, cookbooks, and other often-used items in upper cabinets. If you have a pantry, arrange all your food items rather than mixing them in with one another. Try grouping items according to food or container type, frequency of use, and so on. In cases where 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 have the final plan regarding where to put your stuff, the next step is to develop an organizational strategy. Often, the easiest ones are the most effective. One easy 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, this serves true for knife blocks and spice racks. A chaotic spice cabinet can make cooking in your kitchen a frustrating experience. With a little organization, you can position your favorite spices near you while putting some of the lesser-used items toward the back.
If common kitchen organizers are too limiting or too expensive, consider repurposing other types of organizers for use in the kitchen. Take, for example, a simple magazine holder can also be used to keep jars and random items from being scattered. They can as well be devised to organize cleaning supplies, with the most consistently used pieces situated in the front. Another office-to-kitchen crossover item is the file folder. If you can get your hands on an inexpensive large metal file organizer, it could be placed in a cabinet to keep baking pans, lids, and other loose items neat. To position the file rack securely, use a rubber-backed shelf liner or some hook-and-loop tape.
Moving on to canned foods, keeping everything arranged and easy to see can be sometimes difficult. One way to keep canned goods organized would be 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. When each can is used, all remaining cans will shift downward, making it effortless to check your stock at a glance. With a simple hack like this, you will not have to hunt for loose cans or deal with that messy cabinet ever again.
Lastly, a proven way to keep cleaning products organized and off the cabinet floor is to use a simple tension rod. Just simply installing a tension rod inside a lower cabinet, you could then hang spray bottles, rags, and gloves. This style 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 can also help you distinguish what you still have, keeping you from getting items that are not yet needed. With a few easy plans and a re-fabricated item or two, you could now create the organized kitchen shelves and cabinets you’ve always wanted.
