Hey there, fellow cooks! It’s Yo! 🍳

I know how frustrating it can be to sift through a mess of utensils and gadgets when you’re in the middle of cooking up a storm. Fear not, because organizing your kitchen drawers doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. In fact, with a little bit of creativity and a few handy tips, making the most of your kitchen drawers can be a really fun and rewarding process.

So, put on your apron and let’s get started!

Declutter First 👀

Before getting started with your organization process, always declutter your drawers first. This will save you from putting back items that you rarely ever use and will create more space for frequently used items. It’s time to say goodbye to that odd-shaped silicone spatula you haven’t touched in a year and make some room for those trusty tongs.

Divide and Conquer ✂️

Once you’ve decluttered your drawers, it’s time to divide and conquer! Using drawer dividers will help ensure that everything has a designated place and it will be easier to locate items. Plus, you can also create personalized compartments that fit the size and shape of your utensils. You can buy drawer organizers at local home goods stores or even DIY your own dividers with cardboard boxes or foam board.

Keep It Simple 🤏🏼

When it comes to organizing your kitchen drawers, it’s important to keep it simple. Group similar items together, use small containers or bins for easy access, and make sure you can easily see and reach every item within the drawer. Simplicity will make cooking more enjoyable and more efficient without overcomplicated systems.

Label Everything 📝

Labels are your best friend when it comes to drawer organization. It may seem like an unnecessary step, but having clearly marked labels will ensure that everything ends up back in its designated spot. This will make it quicker and easier for you to find the item you need, and it’s also a great way to teach other members of the household where to put things - say goodbye to searching for lost tools!

Make It A Habit 🚶🏻‍♀️

Now that your drawers are perfectly organized, make it a habit to put things back where they belong after using them. This will take some time to form into a habit, but it will save you lots of time and stress in the future. It may even be helpful to give yourself a little reminder, such as placing a sticky note near the drawer or setting an alarm to remind you to clean up.
