Small Kitchen Organization Hacks

1. Hanging Rack for Pots and Pans

A cool way to show off your favorite cookware is by getting a Hanging Rack for Pots and Pans!  Not only will your kitchen look like it belongs to a professional chef, but you’ll free up so much cabinet and counter space.

2. Wall Mounted Food Dispensers

For those busy days that require no-prep meals, Wall Mounted Food Dispensers are the way to go!  They’re such a fun way to serve breakfast, and use zero counter or cabinet space.

3. Square Food Containers

The best way to utilize your kitchen’s cabinets is by using Square Food Containers, which minimize wasted space.  It’s time to say goodbye to those awkward Tetris-like formations from food packaging, and to say hello to tons of newfound extra space!  Not to mention your food will be much more accessible. 🙂

4. Lazy Susan

A Lazy Susan is the ultimate kitchen cabinet organization tool!  With a Lazy Susan, getting items in the back of a cabinet is no longer a challenge.  Just spin your Lazy Susan around, and bring the items in the back to the front!

5. Under the Cabinet Spice Rack

Organize your favorite spices by using the unused space under your upper kitchen cabinets.  An Under the Cabinet Spice Rack helps organize your favorite spices, and doesn’t require any of your valuable cabinet space.

6. Banana Hanger

Don’t clutter your limited counter space with odd-shaped bananas… use a Banana Hanger instead!  This is seriously one of the most clever small space organization ideas you’ll find!

7. Hanging Fruit Basket

One of the most effective ways to make a small space work is by making use of unused vertical space.  The Hanging Fruit Basket is a perfect example of using your extra vertical space.  This simple basket will add additional space for your fruits and veggies, while reducing kitchen clutter!

8. Fruit Hammock

A smaller alternative to the hanging fruit basket is a Fruit Hammock, which attaches below your upper kitchen cabinets.  It really can hold a lot of fruit for such a small footprint!

9. Nesting Dishes

Having a set of measuring spoons and cups, a strainer, and cooking bowls that all fit conveniently inside of each other will save you so much valuable cabinet space!

10. Dish Cradles

Save space in your kitchen cabinets by using a Dish Cradle to store your plates.  By using a dish cradle and storing your plates sideways, your plates will require just half the space in your kitchen cabinets!

11. Store Extra Food in Mason Jars

Besides being super trendy, mason jars also make excellent food storage containers!  With their tight-sealing lids, they help keep your food organized and fresh.

12. Easy Upcycling Ideas

Don’t toss those old baby food jars or extra mason jars!  Not only are they a brilliant way to store your food, but I have a clever mason jar hack that will also save you space.  Use that extra space under your kitchen cabinets!

How does this work?  Simple.  Remove the lid from the mason jar.  With the lid facing down, fasten a screw through the center of the lid, into the external underside of your upper kitchen cabinet.  Then, simply twist your mason jars on and off to retrieve the contents!
