  2. Store frequently-used dishes close to your dishwasher or sink. This will make putting dishes away quicker and easier. Aim to have storage for your plates, silverware, and cups within one or two steps of your dishwasher.

  3. Make your countertops a clutter-free zone. When your counters are cluttered, you can’t use them – plain and simple. Get serious about only keeping the things you really need to use frequently on your countertops.

  6. Make use of vertical space. Use shelves and risers to utilize all of the vertical space in your cabinets. 
    Create more storage space in your kitchen by repurposing your kitchen desk. Add a pretty curtain to store supplies underneath the desk.
  7. Set up a beverage station at the edge of your kitchen. This will decrease foot traffic in the kitchen during the day, and you’ll find that there won’t be as much left behind on the kitchen countertops. We have a Berkey water filter station and a coffee bar at the end of the countertops in our kitchen.

  8. Store bigger items you don’t use a lot outside of the kitchen to free up space. Especially if some of your kitchen items are holiday specific – store them somewhere else in your home when you’re not using them. I like keeping them in an under the stairs closet or in the garage.
  9. Keep a food inventory. This will keep you from overbuying and you’ll always know what you have on hand when you’re meal planning. Keeping an inventory can be a huge money saver if you’re consistent with keeping it up and using what you have on hand for meals. It also means you don’t need to grocery shop as frequently.
