About Kitchen Storage & Organization
Kitchens, often the most frequented rooms in a home, are prime spots for clutter accumulation. A disorganized kitchen isn't just unappealing to the eye; it significantly complicates cooking and cleaning tasks. At The Container Store, we offer an array of kitchen organizers designed to optimize your available space, streamline accessibility, ensure your food stays fresh, and maintain a clean and orderly kitchen environment.
Kitchen Organization Ideas
At The Container Store, we have a wide range of home kitchen storage solutions, including:
· Cabinet Organizers - Keep your pantry cabinets tidy with pull-out organizers perfect for pots, pans, lids, cutting boards, and small appliances. You can also create a cabinet door storage area with the addition of over-the-door hooks or bins.
· Spice Racks - Add a small storage rack for spice jars in a convenient place, such as your pantry or upper cabinet.
· Drawer Organizers - Proper drawer organization is a MUST. Drawer dividers help keep utensils, cutlery, small gadgets, and other items organized and easy to find.
· Food Storage Containers - Airtight storage containers with lids help keep your dry goods fresher for longer. For ingredients stored out in the open, try a more decorative kitchen canister option, like French Glass Terrines (for a fun retro vibe) or Montana Glass Jars with Acacia Lids (for a more natural look).
· Countertop Organizers - It’s always convenient to have a handy holder for your kitchen cooking utensils, especially right next to your stove or prep area.
· Can Dispensers and Multi-Tier Organizers - Add these to a pantry shelf for easy access to canned goods.
· Refrigerator and Freezer Storage Containers - Carefully choose the right fridge and freezer containers to ensure your leftovers and veggies are well-preserved.
· Kitchen Shelves - Create additional storage spots in your kitchen for smaller items with floating shelves. Or add a sturdy freestanding wire shelving unit to create a coffee station or extra storage for cookware.
· Sink Area Organizers - To maintain a tidy sink area, utilize a stainless steel storage caddy for dish scrubbing supplies, a dish rack for drying hand-washed items, and under sink organizers to corral cleaning supplies.

What are some kitchen and pantry organization tips?
· Declutter Regularly: Start by removing items you don't use, duplicates, and expired goods. This not only frees up space but also helps you keep track of what you have.
· Categorize and Zone Your Space: Organize your kitchen and pantry into distinct zones. For example, keep all baking items together, create a specific spot for spices, and have a designated storage caddy for cooking utensils. This makes items easier to find and return to their proper place.
· Give It Some Style: For items stored out in the open, choose organization solutions that coordinate well with your home decor. We have multiple looks and finishes to choose from, including matte black, gold, bamboo, water hyacinth, and more.
· Use Clear Containers: Store dry goods like pasta, rice, and cereal in clear, airtight containers. This not only keeps food fresh but also allows you to see what you have at a glance, reducing overbuying.
· Maximize Vertical Space: Use shelf risers, stackable storage boxes and bins, and door racks to make the most of vertical space in cabinets and the pantry. These make great solutions for everything from glass canisters to canned goods.
· Prioritize Accessibility for Frequently Used Items: Keep everyday items like plates, cups, cutting boards, and basic cooking tools within easy reach.
· Integrate Storage Solutions: Utilize solutions like over-the-door organizers, under-shelf baskets, and wall-mounted storage racks to increase the capacity of your space.
· Use Turntables and Pull-Out Bins: Lazy susans (turntables) are great for corner cabinets and spice jars. Pull-out drawers and bins can make deep cabinets more accessible.
