A Few Easy and Clever Kitchen Storage and Organization Ideas

“Our Kitchen Rules: 1) If you empty it fill it; 2) If you dirty it clean it; 3) If you open it close it; 4) If you spill it wipe it up; 5) If you cook it share it” – Unknown I thought this was funny, especially when coming up with these Clever Kitchen Storage and Organization Ideas.

Every year after taking down Christmas decorations, we go on a cleaning and organizing rampage. After all the decorations are down, it seems like the house is bare and dirty. Here are some clever kitchen storage and organization ideas. Some are super simple and cost-effecting repurposing ideas as well.

Here we go.

Add a Hook

Dog food scoopers seem to always break or get lost in the food container. With the help of an old hook and some glue dots add a little hook on the outside of the dog food container for easy access. This is also a little more sanitary than keeping it inside.

Upcycle a Thrift Store Find

In the pantry, An old CD rack can be used to organize some loose items that always get lost when a box with only a few items are left. A CD rack is the perfect size for:

Popcorn
Protein and Granola Bars
Oatmeal Packets
School Lunch Snacks

These are abundant at thrift stores. This one is from Goodwill.

Turn It Into a Display

Use clear glass containers to store snacks in a nice display on the counter or inside the pantry.

Glass jars and apothecary jars also make great holders for K Cups and Nespresso Pods.

Add a Hidden White Board

Repurpose A Letter Caddy

For pot lids use a leather letter caddy to keep them out of the way and upright. You can also do this for small cutting boards.

Recycle Cardboard Boxes

Check Under the Sink

Use old plastic crates from the garage and other plastic bins to help keep things in place. Small changes can make a big difference and there is no need to purchase anything new. Look around the house for unused containers.
