Is your kitchen looking a little cluttered? Sometimes life can be so hectic that it's hard to find time to create a place for every item in the kitchen or pantry, or perhaps your situation is one that stems from a simple lack of storage space.
Whatever your needs may be for organization, there are plenty of ingenious items available that will not only free up space in your kitchen, but will making cooking and cleaning a much simpler task! Over-the-Door Organizers I just love these things! Doors, while quite necessary for keeping items out of sight, have the potential of providing several feet of storage space.
An over-the-door organizer hooks on with one or two (depending on the size of the organizer) flat-topped hooks and has a series of tiered baskets.
Hooking a large organizer over your pantry door can create a space for several items that might otherwise be difficult to find a place for, such as spices, bottles of oil, and even onions, lemons, etc.
Smaller versions of the over-the-door rack are also available for cabinet doors and drawers.
They are quite sturdy and some even have dividers so that you can keep smaller items together in one tidy spot.
The extensive possibilities for OTD organizers definitely make this a must-have for any cluttered kitchen.
Under-Shelf Units Under-shelf units are excellent for using the excess "air" space in the cupboard above the rest of your dishes.
These rectangular units hook onto the shelf above, creating a nice cubby for plates or other items.
A similar item to this is the under-shelf cup holder.
Branching off from a long, sturdy piece of wire are little hooks to hold your mugs.
Think of all the cupboard space you could free up by suspending your cups in the unused space above the plates and bowls? Cabinet and Shelf Organizers Cabinet and shelf organizers are indeed different units.
A cabinet organizer usually goes on floor cabinets to hold items such as detergents and other cleaning supplies.
They may also be used to store potatoes, onions, canned foods, and other bulky items.
Shelf organizers are generally used in cupboards (both wall-mounted and floor).
They are perfect for stacking dinnerware, as you can stack your dinner plates upright, leaving plenty of spare room for other items.
You can also use them to stack cookie sheets and other baking trays, frying pans, and other miscellaneous cooking pans.
Hanging Pot Rack This one is absolutely brilliant if you can find a good spot for it.
Hanging pot racks are usually oval or round in shape and hang suspended from the ceiling.
They are adorned with hooks that you hang your cots and pans from.
Some even have smaller hooks to hold utensils such as spatulas, spoons, ladles, etc.
Think of what you could do with all of that freed-up cupboard space! There are many other great inventions designed to make the average kitchen just a little more manageable and convenient, but unfortunately we can't list them all in one article! Hopefully you've found a bit of inspiration to rid your kitchen of clutter with one, or many, of these terrific organizers!
