How to Organise Your Kitchen Cupboards Like a Pro
An organised kitchen cupboard isn’t just about aesthetics—it makes cooking quicker and meal prep effortless! While it may seem like a big task, we’re here to make it simple. If you’re wondering how to organise your kitchen cupboards effectively, our practical tips will help you create a clutter-free, functional space. With everything in its rightful place, you’ll spend less time searching and more time enjoying your time in the kitchen!
Step 1: Declutter First - The Secret to a Smooth Start
Before you start organising your kitchen cupboards, the first step is decluttering. Get rid of expired food, stray containers without lids, and anything else taking up unnecessary space. This is your opportunity to assess what you have - and what you need. Clearing the clutter creates room for an organised, stress-free kitchen.
As you declutter, take note of any food cupboard staples running low. Whether it’s a missing spice or a nearly empty bag of pasta, now’s the perfect time to restock. Keeping your cupboards well-stocked ensures you’re always prepared for mealtimes without last-minute dashes to the shop.
Step 2: Plan Your Kitchen Cupboard Layout - It’s All About Strategy
When organising your kitchen cupboards, planning is key. A thoughtful layout enhances functionality and saves time when preparing dinner. Consider your daily cooking habits, utensils and ingredients you use most often. For instance, keep spices and oils near the stove for easy access while storing your coffee and tea essentials close to the kettle. Frequently used cookware like pots, pans, and utensils should be kept within arm’s reach, while less frequently used items can be stored higher up or in deeper cupboards.
Our Top Tip: Create Zones in Your Kitchen Cupboards
One of the best ways to organise your kitchen is by creating dedicated zones within your cupboards. Assign specific areas for dried foods, snacks, and baking essentials to keep everything in its rightful place. This structured approach makes it easier to find what you need, prevents clutter from piling up, and ensures a smooth, stress-free cooking experience every time.
Step 3: Get Organised with Containers and Jars
Achieving an organised kitchen goes beyond just tidying up - it’s about choosing the right storage solutions to maximise space and keep everything fresh and accessible. For smaller cupboard items like spices and dried fruits, a fridge storage container helps maintain freshness whilst keeping your kitchen cupboards tidy. For bulkier dry goods such as pasta, rice, or lentils, a storage glass jar with a bamboo lid adds style and function, offering an airtight seal to preserve freshness while bringing a natural, eco-friendly touch to your kitchen.
For more compact storage, a dry food container is perfect for cereals and other dry ingredients. These handy containers minimise clutter and maximise cupboard space, with clear lids for easy visibility - so you always know what’s inside at a glance. By combining different storage solutions, you can create a streamlined, functional kitchen where everything is neatly organised and within easy reach.
