The kitchen is the activity hub of most homes. Not only do we prepare meals here, but we gather with our family and friends to reconnect and bond as well. In many homes, the kitchen also serves as homework central. This is the room where we pay our bills and deliberate important decisions. It’s the veritable command center of the modern family home. That’s why it’s so important to keep it free of the clutter that can cause stress and agitation. And let’s not forget about cooking.

In addition to being an unsightly eyesore, a disorganized kitchen makes cooking slower and more of a hassle than it needs to be. But with the right organizers, you can keep your kitchen clean and serene, making meal time more relaxing. There are plenty of ways to maximize your space and increase kitchen efficiency. If you’re ready to overhaul your kitchen clutter, check out these clever organizers.

Cabinets and Drawers

Cabinets and drawers are particularly prone to clutter. Why not take advantage of the space in your cabinets with some slide out drawers? A dual shelf cabinet organizer offers two wide baskets that slide effortlessly in and out of your cabinet. These rust-resistant containers are ideal for canned goods, household cleaners or other items that are clogging up your kitchen. If pot lids are scattered about your cabinets, making it impossible to find the proper size when you want it, try out a convenient pot lid holder that mounts to a kitchen wall or the door of your cabinet. These great space savers store up to five pot lids for ultra easy access and include durable steel mounting hardware. Plastic bags are another big clutter culprit. Rather than letting them take over your cabinets, try out a plastic bag holder that features both adhesive mounting and screw mounting options. This keeps your plastic bags neat and orderly, and extra easy to access.

Countertop Organizers

Cluttered countertops are a huge eyesore. No one wants to prepare a meal while wrestling for surface area and struggling to find ingredients. Let your countertops see the light of day again by using innovative, decorative space savers, like a four tier fruit rack. In addition to clearing up countertop space, this handy organizer provides an attractive display for your fruits and veggies, making you and your family more likely to enjoy them.

Are you a tea drinker? Tea boxes can take over your countertop quickly. A tea bag caddy is an excellent solution that looks great in any kitchen. Made of clear acrylic, this handy little organizer lets you grab the tea you’re looking for right away, and eliminates clunky boxes. Just like tea boxes, napkins can clutter up space on the counter and kitchen table. Try storing them in an attractive napkin box with a lattice acacia wood top. This is another smart way to stay organized while adding a nice decorative touch.

Fridge and Freezer Organizers

An unorganized fridge is the bane of any home cook’s existence. But with the right tools, you can keep your fridge and freezer neat and tidy, avoiding spills, spoilage and other needless aggravations. A fridge roll out caddy is an inexpensive and easy way to stay organized. The durable, wheeled bins roll easily in and out of your existing shelves, and are dishwasher safe for added convenience. The swing out fridge tray is another excellent option that allows you to reach the items in the back of the fridge without putting your entire arm in there. It’s easy to install and can be tossed right in the dishwasher for easy clean up. Say goodbye to forgotten leftovers and spoiled produce in the back of your fridge with this clever organizer.

Spice Rack Organizers

Avid cooks need plenty of spices readily available each time they’re in the kitchen. Without the proper storage tools, spices can take over your surface areas, making it hard to find what you’re looking for and adding another unsightly element of clutter. Consider organizing your spices with a spice stack. This smart storage solution provides three tiers of spice racks that slide out for easy access. Or try out the Select A Spice Carousel, a rotating spice dispenser that fits neatly under cabinets and holds up to 12 of your favorite spices.

With these simple organization tools, you can keep your kitchen looking its very best. An organized, clean kitchen helps you and your family stay healthy, productive and happy. Take control of your countertops, cabinets and fridge today with some of these smart kitchen organizers.
