10+ Organizing Ideas To Make Full Use Of Your Kitchen Space

In this list, we will be exploring some nice kitchen organizing ideas to make full use of the kitchen space. Even if you have a large kitchen, you can make good use of the ideas here as well. We have compiled some of the simplest ideas for you to follow and we will be covering most areas in the kitchen.
Without further ado, let's begin! 

1. Shelves

You can never go wrong by installing shelves on an empty wall of your kitchen. Stock up your jars of grains, canned food and other miscellaneous food items on the shelf. It is advisable to place items that may soon be expired on these shelves. That way, you will always be reminded to consume them before time does.

2. Side Cabinet

We commonly place our utensils such as spatula, food clipper and grate in the kitchen drawer. But, with this idea, you know a new spot now! Using the same concept, you can probably put the hangers in some place that you don't need to worry about dripping water. That way, you can immediately put your utensils onto the hanger to air dry as soon as you wash them.

3. Pegboards And Hooks

The wall space near the door is often left empty because we wouldn't want anything to get in the way as we close it. This is where a pegboard comes in. It is slimmer than shelves, so it doesn't really get in the way. You can hang just about anything by hooking them onto this pegboard. It also provides full visibility of all the tools you need to craft your favorite dishes.

4. Shoe Organizer Behind Door

Use a shoe organizer to put your food items such as snacks, garlic and onions. Remember to pick the transparent type so that you can see what's in each pocket. Ideally you can hang this out on any empty walls other than the back of the door.

5. Slide-Out Pantry In The Gap

The idea above shows the use of the gap space between the fridge and the wall. But, it really depends on how we arrange our kitchen. We can apply the same idea between cabinets. Do note that the side of the fridge is usually warm. So, it may not be good to have certain food stuff placed near it.

11. Multipurpose Shelf

If you like minimalism, you can craft your own customized shelf for your needs. In this idea, the jar lids are secured under the shelf but we think that might not be convenient considering that most jar lids will rust in time unless it's stainless steel. All in all, we hope this idea will inspire the inventor within you to craft your ideal shelf.
