5 tips and tricks for amazing kitchen drawers

Drawers in the kitchen can become messy easily. They are not visible, so we often put a lot of things in them. Many of those things are unnecessary. Can we change that habit? Yes, of course! The organization is key.. Using these tips and tricks, you will know where your things are anytime. 

How many drawers are enough in the kitchen?

Before we buy or order the kitchen, think about how many drawers you will need. Of course, you can have as many drawers as you can, but according to the size of the kitchen. Sometimes, drawers can be more convenient than cabinets.  

One of the factors is how many people live in the house. There is a rule to count people in the house plus at least two guests. 

Declutter everything!

The first thing you need to do is to throw everything out on the floor. Then, take a look at what you have. I am sure you will find something you forgot you have. The next step is to declutter everything into three groups. One is for the garbage, another one for donating, and the last one is what you want to keep. 

This process is very important because you will get rid of unnecessary things and you will know what you have in the kitchen. Everything is easier with a good plan. Think about what you want to keep in your drawers. If you want to keep pans or pots in drawers, you will need a deeper drawer. You can use the last one for the pans and pots. Another reason for keeping them in the lower drawer is because they are heavy. As we use utensils everyday, for every meal, put them in the first drawer. It’s easier for you, because you don’t have to bend down all the time.

Maximize space with a double drawer

Using a second drawer in a drawer will double space, and it’s very convenient. This is a stackable kitchen storage organizer and you can find them in various sizes. Put things that you often use on the upper drawer, and less used on the lower drawer.  

Make kitchen zones

Organize your drawers by making them into different kitchen zones. So you can make them into: cooking zone, baking zone, cleaning zone. Then you know that sponges, drying rack, dish towel are in the special drawer. Put utensils in one cooking zone and pots in another drawer. Baking zone should be filled with baking pans, measuring cups, and all the things you use for baking. 

Cooking will be much easier when everything is in one place and you exactly know where to find it. 

Use organizers

Organizers are the best thing for keeping everything in order. Another major benefit of using organizers is that they will save space and you can put more things in drawers. 

Organizers for utensils are quite popular and almost every house uses them. 

Before you buy organizers, measure your drawers. It’s important to use every centimeter of the drawers.When you have the right measurements and know what you want to put inside, you will know how many organizers you can put in the drawer.

Organizers for bowls are also a great thing, because you will avoid damaging them. For pots and pans, you can use a filing organizer system, and put them vertically.

A good organization is half done. Your kitchen will always be tidy and cooking will be easier and faster.
