Kitchen cabinets are great; until they\u2019re not. It starts with one extra mug shoved into the wrong shelf, and next thing you know, you\u2019re rummaging through a chaotic mess of mismatched Tupperware, mystery spices, and appliances you forgot you owned. Whether you\u2019re in a <\/span>rental\u00a0 in Portland, OR<\/span><\/a>, a<\/span> home in Atlanta, GA<\/span><\/a> or a <\/span>condo in Chicago, IL<\/span><\/a> knowing how to organize kitchen cabinets can instantly make your space feel bigger, calmer, and way more functional.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Redfin guide rounds up expert-approved <\/span>organizing tips for a tidy home<\/span><\/a>, and help you cut the clutter to finally get your cabinets working for you\u2014not against you.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Design your cabinet zones like a pro<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cFor kitchen cabinets, the most important tip is to prioritize function over style,\u201d says Carla Moum of <\/span>Woodharmonic Custom Cabinets<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Los Angeles, CA<\/span><\/a>. \u201cBegin by organizing the layout based on how you use the space. Group cabinets into zones for prep, cooking, cleaning, and storage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She also recommends going with full-height cabinets when possible. \u201cThey maximize storage and create a custom look,\u201d she adds. And when it comes to finishes, she suggests timeless materials like light wood or white with wood accents.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Go all in on pull-out drawers and interior storage<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you love a clean, streamlined look with uniform door faces, we recommend interior drawers and pull-outs,\u201d says Bel Muller of <\/span>Greenfield, MA<\/span><\/a>-based European-style cabinetmakers, <\/span>Boxco Studio<\/span><\/a>. \u201cPull-out trays and drawers make it easy to see everything in your cabinet at a glance, and pull-out trash and recycling cabinets keep waste out of sight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jayme Seppala from <\/span>Built Cabinets<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Rindge, NH<\/span><\/a> agrees, adding, \u201cWe suggest installing drawer organizers to declutter and optimize cabinet space. Pull-out shelves and stackable containers enhance tidiness and accessibility. Donate unused items to free up room.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you want a customizable system, Stelian Cotovici of <\/span>Craft Custom Cabinets<\/span><\/a>, located in <\/span>Snohomish, WA<\/span><\/a>, recommends the Rev-A-Shelf system. \u201cIt lets you install pull-out trays at any height, with the flexibility to adjust over time as your storage needs evolve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Use cabinet doors for bonus storage<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re living in a rental with cabinets that have doors instead of drawers, you can still maximize your space,\u201d says home design blogger Shuly Anenburg at <\/span>The Wall Whisperer<\/span><\/a>. \u201cUse the inside of cabinet doors to hang small kitchen tools like measuring spoons, scissors, or peelers using renter-friendly solutions like 3M Command Hooks. You can also tape frequently used printed recipes inside for quick access.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Professional organizer, Catie Kelly of <\/span>Sistamatic Organizing<\/span><\/a> adds, \u201cI love to use adhesive hooks to store things like potholders and strainers. Over-the-cabinet-door baskets are perfect for keeping attachments for small appliances from getting lost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Avoid deep cabinets for pantry storage<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t use the cabinets next to your fridge as your food pantry,\u201d warns Christina Morton DesAuguste, founder of <\/span>The Organizing Company<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Denver, CO<\/span><\/a>. \u201c18\u201322 inches is too deep for food items. The stuff at the back just goes there to mold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She recommends using deep lower cabinets for small appliances (on pull-out shelves if possible), and the top third for cutting boards and trays stored vertically. \u201cFor your food, use a freestanding pantry that\u2019s 9\u201315 inches deep. It\u2019s worth the extra steps to actually be able to see and access what\u2019s in your pantry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Use lazy susans and risers in tricky spots<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cInstalling lazy Susan turntables in corner cabinets or deep pantry shelves makes it easy to access oils, spices, and cans,\u201d says <\/span>Westchester, NY<\/span><\/a>-based professional organizer, <\/span>Katy\u2019s Organized Home<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThey maximize tricky spaces while keeping everything visible and within reach.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She also suggests using clear risers to create two-tiered displays for plates or mugs. \u201cIt keeps items organized and prevents fragile pieces from getting scratched.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kathi Burns, CPO at <\/span>Organized and Energized<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>San Diego, CA<\/span><\/a>, adds, \u201cLarge lazy Susans work great in super deep pantries. You can spin and find what you need, and heavy-duty ones can stack up to three cans high.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Store<\/p>\n

6. Store food and staples in clear containers<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cWhen choosing storage containers for your dry goods, make sure to buy rectangular or square, preferably tall and narrow,\u201d says Kathi Burns. \u201cRound storage containers waste space. Taller containers hold more and take up less cabinet space.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lindsey Wilson, lifestyle blogger of <\/span>Lindsey Lee & Co<\/span><\/a> is also a fan of clear containers, especially for pantry items. \u201cTwo-tier clear pull-out organizers double your storage space, keep essentials visible, and make it easy to find what you need without the clutter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Keep tupperware under control<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need a million drawers to keep your Tupperware neat,\u201d says Kathi Burns. \u201cUse two Sterilite bins\u2014one for lids, the other for bottoms. I keep my lids vertical and arranged by size so it\u2019s quick and easy to identify what I need.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Alice The Organizer<\/span><\/a> adds a hot take; \u201cI like to store plastic Tupperware with its lids on. Pot lids too. Glass Tupperware doesn\u2019t really nest, so you\u2019re not saving much space by separating them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Sort your kitchen into easy-to-find categories<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cTo organize kitchen cabinets effectively, I first sort my kitchen items by category\u2014pots and pans, plates and dishes, etc.,\u201d says mom blogger Jacqueline Hernandez Lewis at <\/span>Moments Of Musing Inc<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Virginia Beach, VA<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI use pan protectors to prevent scratches, removable handles to save space, and organizers to tidy utensils in separate drawers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Make spices and small items easy to grab<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cOne of the best tips for keeping your kitchen cabinets and drawers neat is to use organizers so you can see your foods easily,\u201d says Kristin Hintlian, owner of <\/span>Bonsai Kitchen and Bath<\/span><\/a> from <\/span>Leicester, MA<\/span><\/a>. \u201cClear risers are great for food products, and I love using drawers to house spices with a simple tiered insert. It makes cooking so much more pleasant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Make<\/p>\n

10. Maximize your junk drawer\u2014seriously<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cI always like to keep a Ziploc bag filled with birthday candles and a lighter in the kitchen junk drawer, so it isn\u2019t a scramble at cake time,\u201d says Alice The Organizer. \u201cOther useful items include scissors, pens, post-it notes, a utility knife, and eyeglass wipes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She recommends using drawer organizers in a mix of sizes to assign each item a home. \u201cI use sticky tack or removable glue dots to hold them in place so everything doesn\u2019t slide around.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Be mindful about heavy items<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t store your grandmother\u2019s crystal punch bowl on the highest shelf,\u201d says Alice The Organizer. \u201cHeavy items\u2014whether they\u2019re used infrequently or not\u2014should be stored no higher than chest height. It\u2019s a huge safety concern.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For deep cabinets, she also recommends using bins with lids for small items so they don\u2019t get lost in the back.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Create balance between hidden and display storage<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cInclude at least one or two closed cabinets to tuck away less-attractive items,\u201d says Bel Muller. \u201cThen pair them with floating shelves to display everyday essentials or decorative pieces. That way, your kitchen stays both stylish and functional.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Consider a cabinet upgrade if you\u2019re remodeling<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cMaximize organization by choosing cabinets with full-extension soft-close drawers and pull-out trays,\u201d says Jason Stutes from <\/span>Bartow, FL<\/span><\/a>-based <\/span>Ideal Cabinetry<\/span><\/a>. \u201cRoll-out trays and spice pull-outs help keep everything in sight and within reach\u2014no more digging through cluttered shelves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He also suggests adding a tray divider or trash rollout to make your kitchen more functional and polished.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Don\u2019t<\/p>\n

14. Don\u2019t skip the labels<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cLabeling is an important, and often neglected, aspect of kitchen organization,\u201d says Ward Melville, owner of <\/span>Melville Remodeling<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Hubertus, WI<\/span><\/a>. \u201cOnce you have sorted your items, create clear labels for each section. This practice is especially useful if you share your kitchen with family or roommates. By making it clear where everything belongs, you can ensure that your organizational efforts last.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Make it yours<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even the best organization system needs maintenance. \u201cOnce you have organized your kitchen, it is vital to keep it that way,\u201d says Ward Melville. \u201cSet a reminder to review your cabinet organization every three to six months. During these reviews, check for expired items and reassess your storage needs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is finding a rhythm that works for your household. If you prefer color-coded bins, go for it. Love a chalkboard label vibe? That works too. Organizing and <\/span>upgrading your kitchen cabinets<\/span><\/a> isn\u2019t about following a strict formula; it\u2019s about making your kitchen feel like it fits you and your lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to organize kitchen cabinets your way<\/span><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all method for <\/span>kitchen organization ideas<\/span><\/a>. Knowing <\/span>how to organize kitchen cabinets<\/span><\/a> doesn\u2019t mean aiming for Pinterest perfection. It means building a system that makes your daily life easier; whether that\u2019s adding pull-out shelves, getting smarter about food storage, or just knowing where the birthday candles are.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
