Organizing a Kitchen
For many families, the kitchen is the place where
the most hours of the day are spent. Here are a few tips to keep
your kitchen properly organized to help things run smoothly.
- Store glasses such as stemware by placing every other glass upside
down. Be sure to line the shelves so that the rims of the glasses are
not touching the bottom of the cabinet.
- Group like items together.
- Place bookshelves or bookcases in the kitchen as a place to store
glassware, cookbooks, canisters, hand mixers or even food. This will
also provide handy places to set small appliances.
- A pegboard can easily hold gadgets, pots and pans. Decorate the pegboard
to match your kitchen’s decor.
- Arrange a communication center by placing a bulletin board near the
telephone, and put up some shelves to hold cookbooks, telephone books,
pens, paper and other supplies.
- Store items nearby for easy reach. Keep spatulas close to the stove.
- Store every day dishes and silverware near the dishwasher or sink.
