This put up accommodates affiliate hyperlinks. For extra data, see my disclosures right here.
I do really feel like I ought to make a number of caveats about our kitchen. First, I’m not an outstanding cook dinner, so I don’t have a ton of devices and additional cooking objects that I retailer in our kitchen.
Second, we moved from a townhouse with a very small kitchen, so I solely saved the necessities there and I haven’t actually accrued many extra objects since we moved. This kitchen has far more cupboard storage than the final one, in order that’s why we have now some empty cabinets and drawers obtainable. I’m at all times advantageous with having additional area!
Lastly, everybody’s kitchen wants and setup will probably be completely different. I don’t know that I’ve something in the very same area as our final kitchen, and that’s with principally the identical objects! You undoubtedly need to do what works for your loved ones’s habits and routines and your explicit kitchen format.
**I’ll share a supply record with as a lot of our kitchen objects as attainable on the finish of the put up.
Let’s take a peek at our kitchen storage, beginning with the island…
Kitchen Island Storage
For the reason that island is the place I do a lot of the prep work once I’m cooking, I wished to verify I had my mixing bowls and bakeware shut by. These two bigger cupboards within the island match every part completely, with the clear glass bakeware and bowls on the highest cabinets and the opposite objects, together with cooling racks, on the underside.
Our home got here with these slide out cabinets constructed into the underside cupboards, and I really like them as a result of they make every part really easy to entry!
Above these cupboards are drawers to carry some miscellaneous objects– candles and lighters for birthdays, an electrical knife and rolling pin, additionally used for meal prep, and a few chargers.
I didn’t actually really feel like I had a ton of things to place in drawers, so we had some area left over in a number of of them. The truth is, on the opposite half of the island, I truly had a drawer that stayed fully empty!
I did add a fairly contact paper liner to all the drawers, although, in order that they might be simpler to wash and likewise to present them an additional pop of sample.
The ultimate drawer within the island holds all of our sharp objects. I moved from a countertop knife block to those bamboo knife organizers at our final home and I really like that they preserve the knives tucked out of the best way! I additionally put in a easy drawer organizer to carry our apple slicing software and bottle opener.
Beneath these drawers I’ve two cupboards with extra slide out cabinets. One of many cabinets holds all of our boxed objects like ziplock baggage, foil, plastic wrap, wax paper, and so on. The drawers within the island are literally pretty shallow and I used to be having hassle getting the packing containers to suit neatly in a drawer, so placing them on a slide out shelf ended up being the proper resolution for us.
I additionally preserve our pots and pans on this facet of the island, which is true subsequent to the range. I don’t use any fancy organizers to maintain them neat; I merely nest them inside each other and place the lids on high, and it has labored very well to maintain this cupboard in form!
I preserve our colanders on this cupboard as nicely. I admit– I exploit colanders extra usually for adornment than I do for cooking, which is why I’ve fairly a number of of them! Oops! 🙂
Kitchen Sink Space
Throughout from the island, we have now our dishwasher + a number of cupboards. To the left of the dishwasher, there’s a very slim cupboard that’s good for holding all of our chopping boards…
And we even have our under-the-sink space organized, which I confirmed on this video a number of weeks in the past.
Clear Drawers | Dish Cleaning soap Dispenser | Air Tight Containers | Cleansing Caddy
Kitchen Nook Group
Within the again nook of the kitchen, we have now fairly a number of cupboards for storage, which is nice, however the form and dimension of a few of them can undoubtedly be difficult generally.
It took me a bit to determine what to place within the very slim higher cupboard by the sink, however it ended up working completely as a medication cupboard of kinds.
I preserve all of our day by day nutritional vitamins on the underside shelf, after which I used some easy grey organizers that I discovered at HomeGoods to prepare the remainder of our meds. I minimize out somewhat medical cross with my Silhouette machine + adhesive vinyl as an additional little contact!
The children’ meds (learn: principally band aids that they insist they want about 10 instances per day 😉 ) are within the lowest organizer, after which grownup meds are greater up.
The nook cupboard will be one other difficult area to prepare within the kitchen. In our final home I had our on a regular basis dishes on this cupboard (principally as a result of that’s the one place they might match!), however on this home I’m utilizing it to carry our serving items, and that has been understanding nicely to this point.
You can even see our little container of chip clips that I preserve helpful so we will simply entry them once we’re cleansing up from lunch or dinner.
Proper beside the nook cupboard I preserve all the objects for somewhat “smoothie station.” I’ve a smoothie or shake practically daily, so this cupboard is used usually!
The following cupboard is the place I preserve our on a regular basis dishes…
I merely have them organized by shade! Up above I preserve some mason jars that I’ll generally use for meals storage or to carry a bouquet of flowers. I even have a basket that retains our lesser used kitchen devices, issues we nonetheless must preserve readily available however that we don’t entry usually.
Down beneath, we have now a lazy susan within the nook cupboard…
We preserve all of our paper merchandise on this cupboard, that are principally used for the youngsters’ birthday events or in the event that they’re having loads of buddies over.
Beside that nook cupboard, we have now a number of extra cupboards with pull out cabinets…
I’ve carried out separate posts about how we arrange our meals storage containers and our youngsters’ dishes. If in case you have a very good eye, you’ll seen that I moved the youngsters’ dishes from a spot within the island over nearer to our on a regular basis dishes. We’re nonetheless utilizing the identical system, simply in a unique cupboard.
Down beneath the sliding cabinets I’ve a number of extra mint bins (which I LOVE), one among which holds all of Donnie’s dietary supplements, and the opposite of which holds the boys’ lunch packing containers for varsity.
Proper above these cupboards are our silverware and utensil drawers…
I used just about the identical group system for these in our outdated home and it labored very well, so why mess with an excellent factor?! I once more used the beautiful drawer liner, and love these drawer organizers with a pop of aqua on the backside.
Organized Espresso Station
We’ve one ultimate set of cupboards between our vary and our fridge– I name this space our espresso station, although it actually holds extra than simply espresso provides!
Keurig
The higher cupboard holds all of our glasses and mugs…
I admit, I not too long ago couldn’t take it any longer and traded out all of our mismatched mugs for these actually cheap plain white ones! Donnie actually likes bigger mugs for his espresso, so these ones held greater than most of our older ones anyway.
Proper beneath our Keurig are the 2 organized “junk drawers” that I confirmed in final week’s video…
Left Organizer | Proper Organizer
Under the left drawer is Donnie’s espresso drawer. I used this clear tray to maintain every part in organized rows.
Together with the Keurig, he additionally has a conventional espresso pot that he’ll get out sometimes, so these provides are on this drawer.
The underside drawer on this row is dedicated to dish towels and pot holders.
The clear organizers I used to maintain every part separated are from HomeGoods, and I beloved that the three of them match completely on this area!!
The ultimate cupboard holds our cookie sheets and muffin tin.
You may see that this cupboard used to have a slide out shelf as nicely; I eliminated it to have extra room for the cookie sheets. I simply use a very easy organizer that I discovered at Mattress, Bathtub, and Past to maintain this cupboard organized, and it really works like a attraction!
That about does it for the cupboards!
Fridge and Pantry
The one issues left within the kitchen are our fridge…
And our pantry…
Spice Jars | Risers | Storage Containers | Water Bottle Storage | CrockPot | KitchenAid
I did separate movies on every of these areas, so I received’t go into element about them once more, however you will get the small print about our organized fridge right here and our organized pantry right here.
