The Kitchen is the place where friends and families can gather together visit, and talk about the day. Having an organized space will make your life in the kitchen better and easier. Here are some creative ideas that will contribute to a well organized kitchen.

Put your favorite recipes in an easy-to-access binder

The recipe binder lives on the counter and it contains a lot of favorite recipes. When finding a recipe of interest, a great way to preserve it is to type it up, print it out, and stick it in a page protector in a binder. Tab dividers make it very easy to find specific recipes. Investing in the plastic inserts will help extend the life of the recipes, protecting them from spills and other messes.

Store knives on a magnetic knife rack

Magnetic knife racks are easy to install and they’re incredibly useful! They keep knives in an easy reach place in the kitchen so you never have to open a drawer and search around, and you don’t have to give up counter space to have a knife block.

Add a clever spice rack

Another clever idea is to use the inside of a cabinet door to hang a magnetic spice rack! This way your spices are easy to find, they don’t take up any room on the pantry shelves, and you can see exactly how much of each spice you have left.
