Step 1: Clean up every single corner of your kitchen

It's not about the mess that you see in front of you. It's about how things are put away. 

1) Start with the inside of your cupboards. Take everything out, wipe down the inside of each one, then put it all back in place. Put everything where it belongs as soon as possible don't leave anything sitting on top of the stove or on a counter (unless it's what you want there)

2) Make sure to use vertical space don't stack too many items horizontally on top of each other; they'll just fall down when you open the cupboard door. 

3) Move on to your utensils drawer. Pull everything out, then take some time to decide which utensils belong together. 

4) Put matching sets together, and make any large sets (like pots & pans or cutlery sets) the first thing in the drawer so they're easy to find.

Step 2: Pay attention to where you will store different items

After you have found the right place for everything, it's time to start arranging. Start with the top shelf first, as that's where things are usually accessible the easiest. Put one item in each box on the shelf if you have a lot of items. If you have fewer items, put two or three in each box. Label each box so it's easier to find what you're looking for later.

Next, move down a level and repeat the process until all shelves are full; this will also make sure that nothing falls behind as there isn't any space left on these shelves. Make sure that heavier items are on lower shelves as well.

Step 3: Properly place all cooking utensils

5. Place all cooking utensils (pots, pans, baking dishes, mixing bowls serving bowls) into the cabinet or drawer so they don't take up floor space. Arranging them according to size will help you find what you need quickly. 

6. Utensils that are used for cooking should go in the cabinet above the stove, while those for serving food should be stored elsewhere. 

7. Lastly, store all of your dishware (plates and glasses) on open shelves or in a glass-front cabinet away from heat sources like ovens or microwaves as they can easily break if heated too much!

Step 4: Do not forget about spices

This is an important step because if you do not remember them, you will waste time looking for them. The best way to organize spices is by putting them in containers or jars. This way the spice that you need will be easily accessible. You can store these spices in a plastic container or jar, but make sure it has a tight seal.

You can also label each container with the name of the spice. There are some containers that come with a lid, but if you want something different, then use a canning lid or even just aluminum foil for extra protection from light and air which could make the spices go bad faster.

Step 5: Customize if necessary

Customizing shelves, drawers, or dividers can give you the storage space you need. Here are some ideas for how to get the most out of your storage space.

 Put taller items on the bottom shelf, like cans of soup and pasta sauce. Taller items will be easier to reach this way.  Keep spices at eye level in a spice rack with narrow shelves that hold only one row of jars, which will make it easy to grab what you need without having to rummage through all the bottles. Stack tins with similar contents together in a tin cabinet, like tomatoes and tuna fish.

Step 6: Hanging trash can for kitchen cabinet door

Many people find it hard to decide where the trash can should go. One option is to hang it on the inside of the cabinet door, which frees up space on the counter below. To do this, you will need a magnetic strip and a trash can with a lid. First, measure how high you want the magnet strip. You might want to put it at or just above eye level if you use this cabinet often; alternatively, you may want it near hip level if this cabinet is used less often. Next, measure how wide you want your magnet strip (usually about 1-1/2). If necessary, cut down an existing magnetic strip using scissors or an electric saw.

Step 7:Drawer instead of cabinet

The first thing you should do when organizing your kitchen drawer is take everything out of it. If you have a lot of stuff in the drawer, divide it into two piles: stuff that will go back in the drawer and stuff that will not.

Now organize the left pile into smaller piles of like items. Put similar things together, such as silverware with silverware, pots with pots, etc. Put all these smaller piles into one larger pile on the right side of the drawer. 

Move on to the right pile now by splitting it up into two small piles: large items on one side (like plates) and small items on the other side (like spoons). Put both of those piles in their own sections in different parts of your drawer.

Step 8: Easy drawer divider

Drawer dividers are a great way to make your kitchen cabinet or drawer more organized. They give you a designated spot for items like utensils, spices, cooking oils, or even pots and pans. They can be used as the divider between two or three smaller drawers, or between one large drawer and the door of the cabinet. The most common type of drawer divider is a plastic grid that sits on top of the drawer front. This type of divider can be removed easily when you need access to the entire drawer space.

Step 9:Make a kids-friendly cabinet

A great way for kids to learn how to put things away nicely is by organizing the cabinet. It's a fun activity that will teach them about taking care of their belongings. To get started, make sure you have everything you need: a trash bag or basket, small toys, cleaning supplies, extra storage containers or baskets, and some paper towels or wipes. Once you have all of these things on hand, you're ready to get started!

First up: clean off the shelves with paper towels and wipes (or a wet towel) - Next up: take everything off the shelves and put it into a pile on the floor - Now it's time for sorting!

Step 10:Pantry in a drawer

Pantries are great for storing a lot of items and keeping them out of sight. But if you don't have a pantry, or can't fit one in your home, it's perfectly fine to store items in a drawer instead. The key is layering the bottom with spices, oils, vinegar, sauces, etc. then adding pots and pans on top. Finally, put glassware at the very top so they don't get dusty.
