The first step is freeing up some space in the kitchen cabinets. Remove everything from the cabinets and separate them from the stuff that is used and the stuff that is not. We’ll work first with the stuff that is used and it will help us figure out what storage you need.

Make departments for your baking items, like sugar, flour, spices, and condiments in a cabinet next to the stove. The pots and pans should be near the stove as well.

In another cabinet store canned good, breakfast items in another . Place the glassware and dinnerware near the dishwasher and sink so you can put them away easy. In the space that remains, store the rest of the food. Now to the kitchen drawers, clean them out also. Sort them with the stuff used and the stuff that is not. Return the stuff you use.

There are many inexpensive organizational tools you can use also to clean up the clutter. Some that you can get are, cutlery drawer inserts, utensil racks, lazy susans, and under sink organizers. Food wrap racks, magnetic spice tins, and pot lid racks can be used on the cabinet doors for more organization.
