The small size of a kitchen can make it feel crowded. However, this doesn't mean that you have to live with the feeling. You can use clever storage to keep things neat and orderly so you can cook, eat and entertain in style.
Extra Kitchen Storage Idea
The quickest way to get your small kitchen more streamlined is by maximizing the space available to you in cabinets, drawers, and even a pantry. One of our favorite tricks is to install dividers that break up a large cabinet into smaller compartments, allowing you to store small items like baking sheets and narrow pans without taking up too much space. If you're short on space, you can try these simple storage tips if you don’t have enough room to install dividers.
Spices And Herbs can be organized into different categories.
Decant small containers of herbs and spices into jars to avoid a messy mess. It will be easier to access, and the herbs won't appear as though they're floating. Alternatively, you can set up a dedicated spot for them in a drawer.
Make a Paper Towel Dispenser
If you're short on cupboard space, mount two C-clamps side by side and use them as a paper towel dispenser. This is a DIY project that takes under an hour and looks super stylish, too.
Vegetable Storage
To organize your fresh fruits and vegetables, hang a basket up on the wall if you lack counter or cabinet space. This will save you space on the counter and free up some drawer space, too.
Creative Kitchen Storage
Whether you're working with a country or modern layout, reclaimed wood shelving can help you keep utensils, plates, and bowls organized. The reclaimed wood shelving will not only add texture and visual appeal to your home, but also allow you to showcase some of your favorite pieces.
You can buy these shelves at most home improvement stores, or you can build them yourself. Remember to measure your shelves so that you get the perfect fit.
Hanging bar for pots and pans
Storing pots and pans can be a challenge in a small kitchen, especially if you haven't installed any pull-out cabinets or a roll-out shelf in the pantry. But this simple S-hook hanger solution will spruce up the space, and it makes it easier to grab your most used pots and pans when you need them.
Magnetic knife racks are another great idea. They will save you a lot of time, as they keep your knives right near the area where you prepare your food instead of in a drawer.
Stackable Bins
If you don't have a lot of storage space, stackable containers are a great option. Choose the right size, and be sure to label each bin.

How To
How do I create a grocery store list?
Your grocery list should contain items that you buy regularly at your local supermarket. The following should be included:
-
Produce (vegetables, fruits)
-
Meat/fish
-
Dairy products (milk and cheese, yogurt)
-
Snacks & sweets
-
Drinks
-
Other groceries
It is important to be concise when creating a grocery list. Don't list every thing you eat daily. This will make your grocery list too complicated. Make a list of the most frequently used ingredients and include them in your list. You might like to try something new!
You can also save yourself some work if you know which recipes you often cook. There are many online recipe databases where you can look up the ingredients and print out the recipe. To make it even easier, you can take a picture and place it in Evernote.
