The more orderly your kitchen is, the easier it is to use and the better your life will be. But why do many of us let their kitchen areas get filled with unnecessary clutter, unwashed tea towels, and dirty surfaces? If you’re sick and tired of your messy kitchen, all you need is to try the following tips on how to keep your kitchen organized.
Tip #1 – Empty your kitchen cabinets and rearrange them.
Get everything out of your kitchen cabinets or cupboards and go through each of them. Dispose of all the things you don’t use frequently, and all the broken items in there. As you empty your drawers and cabinets, set up separate areas on your floor for each group so that it will be easier for you to take the items back in later.
Tip #2 – Group similar items.
Once you have emptied all your drawers and cabinets, the next thing to do is group the items. Put all your baking items together, all your tea towels, and so on. Also, group the dishes that you regularly use and separate them from those that are used for special occasions only.
Tip #3 – Clear containers are great for storing items.
Small containers are ideal for streamlining the items inside your cabinets. For instance, you can place your packets of gravy mixes, sauces, or coffee sachets in separate containers or jars. This will make it easier for you and your family members to find what they are looking for. If you have a collection of tea towels, you may also put them together in the same keeper.
Tip #4 – Put containers and lids together.
If you find containers that have no lids, it’s best to just discard them. Make sure that all your containers have their lids with them, or you can store all the lids in a separate container.
Tip #5 – Utilize vertical space.
You can attach hooks underneath your cabinets where you can hang mugs right above your countertop. You may also hang a rack where you can place your wine glasses, or hang your Luxura tea towel. Doing this will free up a lot of space in your cabinets.
Tip #6 – Use dividers for your drawers.
Drawer dividers are excellent for organizing your cooking utensils. You should also allot some space for your miscellaneous items. Just make sure you don’t put everything in there to avoid making your drawers look disorganized.
Tip #7 – Always have a tea towel on your countertop.
Tea towels are essential in any kitchen. These small pieces of cloth are flexible and can be used in many ways. Luxura tea towels are available in different colors and in a variety of patterns, which are guaranteed also to make your kitchen area more colorful and attractive.
My house may be a mess but I have to have my linen closet and kitchen drawers and cabinets very organized lol
I like the idea of using clear containers to organize things in the kitchen. Proper storage containers can make a cabinet or pantry much easier to navigate.
I have at least two tea towels working at all times. I use them and wash them everyday. So many messes to clean!
I use my kitchen so much that it seems to be unorganized as soon as I organize it! haha Great ideas!
Ah, this is really good advice. My current system is just to stuff them into the towel drawer. It’s not pretty!
I am very good about keeping my towels and other linen types organized and often, even color coded. It’s the other parts of my house which could use some better organization.

We don’t have a ton of storage in our kitchen, so it’s really important for me to stay organized. It’s probably time for me to take everything out & reassess.
I believe I might add my own tip for myself there which is to have enough space and lessen impulse buying in the first place, hah! Grouping similar items is an invaluable tip though, it really saves time.
I have lots of kitchen towels at home and I hate it when I see them cluttering. These are very helpful tips!
I keep the lids and containers together too. Otherwise the romance fizzles and they never meet up with each other again. π
