After the holiday season of baking and cooking for your friends and family, your cupboards in your apartment could probably use a makeover. We’ve found some great ideas that we can’t wait to share.
We think these organization ideas from Stacy and Charlie are perfect for your pantry. Use file storage to hold like items. Label the containers so you’ll know just what’s in it — as well as what you’re out of and what needs to be replaced.
This mason jar storage idea from Mums Make Lists uses mason jars to store items of all types, from yarn to matchsticks and sewing supplies. The clear glass makes it easy to see what’s inside, and it’s even more convenient because you can fill a whole shelf with the jars.
You can also put utensils on the counter in a pretty jar or vase. This will add functionality to your kitchen. Plus, a pretty vase on your counter is always a good idea!
If you only use your waffle maker once a year for your holiday breakfast, or if your cake platters only get used on birthdays, consider moving these items to a closet or storage space.
Add a Lazy Susan in the fridge to make it easier to find condiments or sauces while cooking. Purchase stacking shelves to add almost double the space in your cupboards.
Be picky about what goes in your cupboards in the first place. Don’t keep large items that are taking up space. Clean out the pantry and fridge periodically so you have more space for fresh foods.
Create a space with all cleaning products, detergents, and soaps in order to keep them away from other foods and avoid contamination and spillage.
Purchase a spoon rest for cooking — this will help keep the kitchen clean even while you might be making a mess.
Keeping your kitchen organized will save time and space. It can even save money! If you can see exactly what is in your cupboards you’ll know what to purchase and avoid buying duplicate items at the grocery store.
