Whether you’re just starting out or have downsized like us, chances are there is or will be a small kitchen in your life. Today, I’m sharing how to organize a small kitchen and get more space. When we made the choice to downsize, thoughts of what that meant in terms of living adjustments never crossed my mind. With a little planning and some organizing anyone can organize a small kitchen and find more space.
Our kitchen here in FL is small, really small. Except for having too many cooks in the kitchen at once, it doesn’t cause me stress anymore. I have a few strategies on how to organize a small kitchen that have worked well for us.
Keep Only What You Need In The Kitchen Area – Keep only the cleaners you need on a daily basis nearby. Since we’ve gone green, the amount of cleaners we use has cut down tremendously. The few I need are in a pretty bin on the floor of the pantry. I store the rest in the garage and refill my containers when needed.
Use Every Bit of Space Available – I added extra shelves in my little pantry. All the way to the ceiling, and on the side. Both of these areas were empty. I made cute bins for the floor that sit under the bottom shelf. All of this added about 30% more storage space.
Double Duty – Use items that serve more than one purpose. My utensil holder is a lovely vase for flowers and I use it to serve iced tea when we have company.
