2025 Kitchen Organization Ideas

It’s a new year, why not start the year off with a few organization tips for your kitchen? 

Step 1: Declutter the kitchen
  • Remove packaging Sorting food into airtight containers will clear shelving space, especially if you’re a Costco fan and buy in bulk. Look for stackable storage containers and refill them after every grocery trip.
  • Recycle old manuals and menus -Many instruction manuals can be found online, and restaurant menus change too often to store. 
  • Put the seasonal stuff elsewhere - The pumpkin-shaped pancake molds are adorable in October but don’t really deserve a prominent place the other 11 months of the year. That goes for any holiday-specific or seasonal goods, like hot cocoa mugs that only get used in the wintertime. Gather several large storage containers to store your festive items. Label each with the holiday or theme.
Step 2: Clean up what you have
  • Round up cleaning tools
  • To keep cleaning tools on hand. Look for slim models to replace bulky items. When you only reach for it to brush away crumbs, you’re not having to reorganize the entire kitchen cleaning closet.
  • Gather utensils - Gather them up into a crock. The display gives a still-life moment and your countertops stay neat.
Step 3: Organize the kitchen cabinets and pantry
  • Utilize storage bins and baskets
  • For all your smaller items, find storage bins, baskets, tubs, or dispensers that keep everything in its place. Buying in proportion to the kitchen you have will keep things less crowded.
