Organize by Use
Create specific areas for food storage containers, cleaning supplies, pots and pans, and cooking utensils.
You can devote a counter space or a cabinet to baking goods. Stock it with cookie sheets, loaf pans, flour, sugar and other baking necessities.
Use Shelf Liners
Covering the bottom of kitchen drawers with a piece of non-adhesive shelf liner keeps items from shifting when you open and close drawers.
Clean Out the Pantry
Take some time and throw out any old canned goods and spices. If you want to start fresh you can always donate any good items to a local food pantry.
Don't forget to label your spices!
Rearrange your Cabinets
As you start to rearrange your kitchen cabinets you can store stemware by placing every other glass upside down to save space.
The most frequently used items should be on the bottom shelves of a cabinet that's most convenient to you. Consider rearranging the cabinet's interior shelves to accommodate your different size dishes.
