At a glance: kitchen cabinet organization
Well-organized kitchen cabinets in the right layout minimize back and forth time and enhance efficiency.
The most important items should be stored right where they are used. For example, knives and other kitchen utensils should be in the drawer under the main work surface, while pots and pans should be kept in the drawers under the cooktop.
From the pantry unit to the sink cabinet, drawers reign supreme. When the base kitchen cabinets are equipped with drawers instead of doors and shelves, life is much easier: no more crouching to rummage around for items at the back of the cabinet.
The goal is to thoughtfully use the available space so you can clearly see each cabinet's contents and easily retrieve stored items.
