Have you ever noticed that when you are organised, you can get so much more done? Let’s say you are about to sit down to write a paper, and you have all the books and pens that you need and you can just sit and write, without having to constantly get up to find things you need.
Similarly, when you are cooking, if you have your ‘mise en place’ or all your ingredients ready to go, the actual cooking will take minimal time.
This stands true for your entire home – the more organised it is, the better it will look and the more efficiently you will be able to work. So, when we say, that a well-organized kitchen isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a space where cooking becomes a joy rather than a chore, we mean it.
Now, no matter how big or small your kitchen, if you follow a few kitchen arrangement hacks, you can also have a kitchen that is functional and beautiful.
At Innoteck, we have pretty much everything you need to make your home look and feel great and of course, organised. With the right approach and a few clever tools, you can transform even the most chaotic space into a haven of order.
Your very own step-by-step kitchen organising guide from Innoteck!
You may or may not be a really good cook, but being organised is essential; working in a kitchen that has a place for everything will make every minute inside a joy. And here is how you go about doing it:
- Declutter – Cleaning out is step one, because only when you clear out what you don’t need, do you have space for whatever you do need. take a good look at your entire kitchen; open out your pantry, every drawer and cupboard and make a note of everything that you have not touched in the past several months. If you need to throw it out, do that or if it is still usable and in good condition, you might want to donate it. You should keep only those items that you genuinely need and regularly use (or at least bring out on special occasions).
- Categorise – Once your kitchen cleansing has been completed, you really need to do some categorisation. This means that you need to group similar things together – all your spices in one spot, while all your baking tools and items in another and all your grocery and pantry items should be together. This will make everything easier to find when you’re in a rush to whip up a quick dinner or simply don’t have the inclination to go looking for things. At Innoteck, you will be able to find some unique and easy kitchen organisation solutions such as racks and cannisters, which can allow you easy organisation.
- Dedicate – Now that you have categorised your items, you need to create dedicated zones and trust us when we tell you that this is a game changer! So, for instance, you should have a cooking zone near your stove with pots, pans, and utensils. Designate another for prep work, complete with knives, cutting boards, and mixing bowls. All your spices should be in one place and when you are getting ready to bake, you need to go to only one cupboard or drawer and you have everything you need there.
- Maximise – So, you have only so much space in your kitchen – there isn’t much you can do about that, now can you? however, you can maximise the space that you have at hand and for that, all you need to do is use your storage effectively. Invest in tools and products that maximise vertical and corner spaces, add shelves wherever possible and use stackable containers to store dry goods. For instance, you can pick a fruit basket that can not only hold fruits, but also vegetables or you can store packs of cookies or other snacks and they will look really great on countertops or even on the dining table. And rather than keeping your wine glasses and cups lying around, hang them up on racks!
- Clean - Keeping your kitchen organised is an ongoing process, but making cleaning easy by having designated spots for everything and ensuring that every cleaning product you need is in one place is a must have. A tidy countertop instantly makes your kitchen feel more organized and at Innoteck, you will be able to find soap dispenser caddies that offer you space to keep your dishwashing liquids and sponges neatly arranged by the sink.
- Contain – Investing in quality containers and proper kitchen storage solutions are a good way to get your kitchen organised – this means that you need to pick some good transparent, airtight containers which will not only keep food fresh but also make it easy to see what’s inside. In addition to that, label your jars, bins, and even shelves to avoid confusion and help every family member put things back in the right place. Easier still is to pick embossed cannisters from Innoteck, which are stylish and simple. Another place to organise are the drawers and you can either pick drawer dividers from our store or holders that keep all your spatulas and ladles in once place.
