If you need to restore order in your kitchen cabinets, then get in line, girl. My kitchen cabinets are possibly the last thing that I usually get to when it comes to decluttering. First is always my closet, then I go through pretty much every other space in our home before I have to tackle organizing kitchen cabinets. Because this is a chore. And if your cabinets are anything like mine, food will hit you straight in the face every time you open them. Charming.
I live in an apartment and although my kitchen isn't small, it's definitely lacking cabinet space. Which means I've had to be crafty with open shelving and kitchen cabinet organizers. So, gone are the days of cramming my snacks into the cabinet and hoping for the best when guests are searching for a mug. In actual fact, though, my cabinets are somewhat pretty RN. And I only have these home organizers to thank.
Much like I do before every purchase, I've made sure to do my research on kitchen cabinet organizers. Because some, quite frankly, are not helpful. And others... well they are totally genius. There are some items everyone struggles to store (container lids, I am directing this at you) but not anymore! Scroll for the kitchen cabinet organizers shoppers are raving about this year, and for the designs that will truly make a difference in your smaller kitchen. More space for more food? Sounds like a good plan to us. You'll find most of these over in our kitchen organizers guide, too.
