9 of the best kitchen organisation ideas

There's no denying the kitchen is a place we spend a lot of time in each week. 

Whether it's preparing the evening meal, packing lunch-boxes, baking, batch cooking, unloading the dishwasher, putting away groceries, or actually eating a meal, a lot of action takes place in this one area of the home! Which is why it is so important to get it as organised as possible, so you can make the time you spend in there as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 

If you’re finding your kitchen a difficult area to manage - be it lack of space,  knowing which storage products are the best or how to clear the clutter - then this post is for you. I’m sharing 9 of the best kitchen organisation ideas that you'll wish you'd known sooner!

The magic solution for a more organised kitchen

The magic solution for a more organised kitchen

That time of the day has come around when you need to prepare the evening meal. You start by pulling out your supplies… and you can feel the frustration already starting to creep in.

The saucepan is easy enough to grab, but the stack of lids starts to spill over and of course the one you need is at the bottom of the pile! You open your utensil drawer, but it’s a jumbled mess and it takes a while to rummage through to find the spoon you need. You want to use your handy chopper to slice the onions, but the blade is buried under a pile of other ‘handy’ attachments that are rolling around the cabinet shelf. It’s little wonder you don’t enjoy cooking!

Can you relate to any of the struggles in this scenario? Some of the biggest frustrations in the kitchen stem from having too much ‘stuff’, a general lack of storage, and difficulty finding and accessing what you’re after.

What you need is an efficient and organised space that takes advantage of every inch of storage, while allowing you to quickly and easily find and retrieve everything you need to cut down on preparation and cooking time. A kitchen that doesn’t leave you feeling stressed and frustrated is a must, as it’s a room we spend so much time in! And I believe the solution to many kitchen organisation problems can be found in one magic item - the simple storage basket.

Consider this statement: The less stuff you own, the more clean and clutter-free your house becomes. Makes sense right? Decluttering and organising is all about freeing up space to gain a more relaxed, clean and easy flow in your home. It is also amazing to discover how a clutter-free space can give you a more positive mindset and productive approach towards each day. A good purge and declutter will not only provide you with a more calm and clear approach to your day-to-day life, it will also leave your home feeling more open and with a more pleasant atmosphere.

Decluttering the toys before Christmas

Decluttering the toys before Christmas

If your kids are lucky enough to receive lots of gifts on Christmas Day, in can sometimes be overwhelming to think about how and where you're going to store all these new goodies. Doing a quick sort through and declutter of the toy collection before Christmas will make these decisions a whole lot easier. Not only will you be making space available for the new toys, you'll also be able to donate the older or less-used ones to children who would really appreciate them, especially at this time of year.

There's nothing like a good decluttering session, it's always a great feeling of accomplishment when you finish, even if it's just a small project. Our recent bathroom declutter and vanity organisation only took half an hour, and using some cheap and easy storage solutions, led to an organised and easy-to-use space.

How to become a more 'Organised You' - the essential steps to start to take back your life!

Do you want to become a more organised person? Sometimes starting the whole process can be overwhelming, and it's difficult to know where to begin. Being organised isn't something that magically just happens, it is a skill you need to continually work at. I am always making lists, pre-preparing, doing weekly/monthly/yearly decluttering sessions.... it's definitely an ongoing process.
