Your Guide to Kitchen Organization

After the whirlwind of holiday cooking and baking, January offers the perfect moment to reset one of the hardest working spaces in your home — your kitchen.


With new appliances, cookware, and ingredients finding their way into our kitchens during the festive season, many of us are facing overstuffed drawers and chaotic cabinets. Let's change that.


Last week, we tackled your closet with tips from our organization experts. It’s time to bring that same refreshed energy to your kitchen!


Expert Tips for Your Pantry




Brandon Stoute, our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Organizing Services, emphasizes starting with a thorough clean-out:


  1. Food Inventory Check


Review all pantry and refrigerator items, removing anything that's expired. This isn't just about organization – it's about food safety and making space for fresh ingredients.


  1. Spice Cabinet Refresh


Those dried herbs and spices don't last forever. Check dates and replace any that have lost their potency. A fresh spice collection makes a noticeable difference in your cooking.


  1. Cookware Assessment


Take stock of your kitchen tools. Those accumulated restaurant to-go cups and excess Tupperware? It's time to let them go. Keep only what serves your current cooking and dining needs.





Rylee Martin, our Senior Interior Designer & Professional Organizer, brings her brilliant strategic thinking to kitchen organization:


  1. Smart Storage Solutions


Invest in quality containers, dividers, and labels. Clear containers not only look better but help you quickly identify what needs restocking.


  1. Strategic Placement


Position items where they make the most sense – pots near the stove, glasses by the refrigerator, plates close to the dishwasher. This creates natural workflows in your kitchen.


  1. Accessibility Is Key


Keep frequently used items within easy reach. Store special occasion pieces and seasonal items in higher or deeper storage spaces.


Creating Sustainable Systems


To maintain your newly organized kitchen, be sure to:


  • Implement a monthly expired food check

  • Keep an ongoing shopping list

  • Clean containers before refilling



Impact on Daily Life


A well-organized pantry and kitchen doesn't just look better – it can:


  • Reduce food waste

  • Make meal planning easier

  • Save money on groceries

  • Create a more enjoyable cooking experience
