Integrate scattered kitchen space, these 10 storage tools commonly used by organizers will not easily tell you
In the entire home environment, the kitchen is considered to be the most difficult place to clean up. Here, various foods, electrical appliances and kitchen tools are concentrated, which will give people a sense of chaos.
Many friends think that the kitchen is difficult to clean, but after learning how to organize and store things, you will find that the kitchen is actually an easy place to clean.
The items in the kitchen are classified and placed according to their actual use. If you follow the method of sorting-keeping-classifying-positioning-storing , you will find that sorting and storing is very interesting and efficient.
The purpose of tidying up and sorting out is to do a thorough cleaning of kitchen supplies. This work of discarding and discarding directly determines the number and types of items that are ultimately stored in your kitchen.
Classification and positioning are to give items a "home". According to the principle of storing items nearby, the storage location of items is determined according to the flow of movement, which can improve the efficiency of use.
The final focus, storage , is also the direction we are going to study carefully today~
We will analyze the storage of each space in the kitchen one by one, and show you how to use the storage tools~
Over sink cabinet storage
The cabinet above the sink is usually a shelf-shaped cabinet that can be used to store light tableware such as mugs, glasses, sealed jars and other items that are not easily affected by moisture.
For easy access, it is best to have a handle on the storage box placed above the cabinet. If your cabinet does not have doors, you can choose a storage box with a lid. Otherwise, choose a lidless one. If you place dinner plates, you can choose a retractable dinner plate storage rack, as shown in the picture below.

Under sink cabinet storage
The space under the sink is often used to install home appliances such as water purifiers and food waste disposers, and this space is cut into irregular shapes.
At this time, we can use the retractable shelves as a support frame to store basins and kitchen cleaning tools.

Drawer storage near the sink
Drawers are one of the most frequently utilized spaces in kitchen cabinets. If the budget is sufficient and space permits, it is recommended to have more drawers rather than partition cabinets.
Generally, if the depth is 60cm, drawer-type storage can be used. Compared with door cabinets, drawer-type storage is more convenient for taking items.
Take the three-layer drawer as an example. The first layer is shallow and can store chopsticks and other tools. Here, it is recommended to use a tray storage box.
If it is a custom cabinet, it is usually sold together. We can also choose tableware storage boxes from IKEA or online shopping, and choose the appropriate combination according to the size of the drawer, which is more efficient.

The second layer can store commonly used cooking tools such as scissors and other various knives, plastic wrap, tin foil, kitchen paper and other common consumables.
The third layer can be used to place glass sealed jars, stacked dinner plates and other heavier tableware.
Storage space under the stove
In order to facilitate taking and using, the space under the stove is suitable for placing various pots and pans.
In the past, we liked to stack pots, which saved space but was inconvenient to take out. Here, the space storage master recommends that you use the vertical storage method. Place them independently and take them out at will without interfering with each other.

Plan item storage locations based on traffic flow
According to the operation route of washing vegetables-cutting vegetables-cooking-serving during cooking, we need to arrange the storage of the countertop space reasonably.
The seasoning bottles, knives, and spatulas that you use every day can be stored on the wall. Of course, if there are children at home, it is not recommended to put the knives outside. You can store them in a drawer and install a child lock.
Above, we have explained the storage methods of various areas in the kitchen. Now I would like to recommend some storage items commonly used by organizers.
1. Storage basket : Here it refers to a storage basket without a lid. It is recommended to choose a transparent, white, beige or gray plastic storage basket, which is visually clean and tidy, easy to clean and not easily affected by moisture.
2. Storage boxes : Storage boxes with shallow depth are generally used in drawers and can be used in combination. You can choose to buy an integrated storage box or buy it separately and combine it yourself.
3. Storage box (with lid) : Storage boxes with lids can be stacked and used to store less frequently used kitchen tools.
4. Bracket : It serves as a partition and support, usually used in larger cabinet spaces.
5. File box : It is used to vertically place pots, plates and other tools in deeper cabinet spaces to serve as partitions and storage.
6. Hook : used to hang cooking tools or cleaning tools, often used with storage racks.
7. Sealed jars : Glass sealed jars can be used to store dry foods. It is recommended to choose jars of no more than two styles and materials.
8. Ziplock bags : The shape of bag-packing tools is not fixed and they are often used in cupboards and refrigerators. Here we recommend that you buy food-grade sealed bags.
9. Storage drawers : Storage drawers are not only used in the bedroom space. Small drawers can be used to store small kitchen tools such as baking molds and other peripheral items. If your home has an open shelf, it is recommended to use it with drawers to keep the environment clean and dust-free.
10. Spice rack : Spice is used every day. If your kitchen does not have a customized spice rack, it is necessary to place an independent spice rack on the countertop or wall.

The rotating spice rack can be placed on the countertop or in the cabinet. It can be used as a spice rotating rack in the kitchen and as a cosmetics storage rack in the bedroom.
