The secret of a tidy kitchen is the organization by categories of all the elements that compose it and the search for appropriate storage solutions.

Every kitchen, no matter how small, can be tidy and every utensil has its place. The arrangement according to usability is essential to maintain order and functionality.

If you are planning to reorganize your kitchen so that it does not become a mess, read on, we give you 10 simple and very practical ideas to keep this important part of the home in order

1. Pull-out storage

Whether it is a new kitchen project or one that we already have, the installation of removable storage systems is possible. Specialized models are available for textiles, bottles, spices, heavy storage, glassware, etc.

No more storing pans in the corner of the cupboard, let alone if you don't use them!

2. Shelving

It is the perfect solution for easy access to food when cooking and to know quickly the reserves we have. Of course, if the shelves are going to be in sight, we recommend that foods such as rice, pasta and legumes are placed in containers of airtight jars all the same to give uniformity. Ideally, you should opt for stackable, transparent jars with different capacities.

3. Multipurpose trolley

This is a very versatile and functional storage element. You can store anything from kitchenware to food, and you can move it around if you need to. It can also be used as a side table and moved to the garden or terrace. At parties it will be a great help to serve drinks, snacks and desserts.

4. Intermediate baskets

Making castles out of tomato jars is not very practical. It doesn't matter how high your shelves are because this storage solution is designed for cupboards and shelves where all the food or kitchenware is safe and within reach. Why waste such a succulent space?

5. Waste garbage can

The waste garbage can or garbage container is an element that is not usually given much attention and yet it is of continuous use! You can hide it or it can be in sight, in any case, it must be functional and can even be a decorative element fully integrated into your kitchen. If you can, install a recycling center near the sink as it is the most practical area.

6. Drawer organizers

In the kitchen, it's not uncommon to find a messy drawer that houses everything from can openers to coins that are out of legal tender. Drawer organizers solve this problem and ensure that utensils do not get mixed up and that the task of looking for our favorite peeler is easier. In any case, take out of the kitchen everything that corresponds to other rooms of the home, you will be surprised how much space you gain.

7. Cleaning area

The cleaning area is usually a conflict zone, so containers that help to clear the work area are very useful. Cloths, gloves, scouring pads and dish soap should always be under control. If you keep cleaning products in the kitchen, make sure they are far enough away from the cooking area. Keep the most dangerous products in a high place and in an easily accessible place the products that you use daily. Boxes and baskets are very practical for storing small items such as clothespins.

8. Spices

Whether we are cooks or not, it is rare to find a home without spices. Although the popular belief is that spices do not expire, the truth is that they do not last forever and over time they lose their aroma and their benefits for the body. It is important to keep them in a space away from light and at a cool and constant temperature.

9. Extendable table

Do not underestimate the functionality of this type of furniture. An extendable table will allow you to adapt its size according to your needs. It allows you to sit at the table, read, do homework and play, where there is room for 4, there is room for 6 and even 8!

10. Glassware and tableware organized in rows and by category

Wine glasses, water glasses, champagne glasses... They should be protected from dust and stored in a cabinet or cupboard with doors. With respect to the tableware you can choose to have in sight the dishes you use the most and order them from largest to smallest; under plate, deep, shallow and dessert.
