How to Organize Kitchen Drawers?

We place the kitchen utensils that we want to have at hand in the kitchen drawers, which are one of the most easily accessible places. Depending on how many drawers there are in the kitchen, many kitchen utensils, from cutlery to spices to cleaning supplies, can be placed in the drawer.

Before you start organizing your drawers, let's list a few supplies you may need during this process. If you have these on hand, everything will go well.
Things You Will Need When Organizing Your Drawer

A clean tablecloth or towel (to line the items that come out of the drawer)
Dust cloth
Drawer cover (If it is in good condition, you can continue with your old covers.)
Garbage bag
Drawer organizers, dividers, spoon holders, knife holders, plate holders, etc.

When you start organizing your kitchen drawers, first make sure that you have enough time for this task. Then, make space on the counter or kitchen table and spread a blanket. Empty the inside of all the drawers in the kitchen into this place you have prepared.

When emptying drawers, throw broken, rusted, or unusable items into a garbage bag. This way, you can also get rid of excess items.

After emptying the drawers, wipe the insides of the drawers thoroughly. If you need to change the drawer covers, replace them with new ones. You can use non-slip covers that are sold specifically for the inside of drawers. You can make the insides of the drawers look more beautiful with colorful covers.

Excesses in the Drawer Should Be Eliminated

Going back to what came out of the drawer, you should now look at the pile on the table with a new eye. What should be together, what should be on hand? Which of these items do you never use? You can give the kitchen utensils you never use to a relative who you think will use them. Sometimes we get carried away and buy kitchenware without thinking about whether we will use them or not, from nutcrackers to pumpkin carvers. If you have such items, you can share them with those around you.

Drawer Interiors

After sorting out the items in the drawer and leaving only the kitchen utensils that are useful to you, you can now start putting them back together. At this stage, I hope you have acquired products such as spoon holders, dividers, drawer organizers, etc.

When you take a look at the items that will go back into the drawers, check if there are any that could go in the upper cabinets instead of the drawers. For example, maybe you can consider putting the serving plates in the drawer and placing the coffee cups that you rarely use in the upper cabinet instead.

Placing the items you use most and need to have at hand, such as knives, spoons, and spice shakers, in the upper drawers will make your work in the kitchen easier and save you time while preparing meals.

You should keep cooking tools such as ladles, mixing spoons, and cutting knives close to the counter. Items that are not used all the time, such as freezer bags, garbage bags, and spare washcloths, can be kept further away and in lower drawers.
