Kitchen Storage Ideas

Make it easier to find items in your kitchen cabinets and kitchen drawers with some new kitchen storage ideas. Start by going through each kitchen cabinet or drawer before you start and declutter any items you no longer need.

Think about do I really need all these pans or do I only use a few? The more clutter in your cabinets the harder it is to find the items you need.

Next use these cool kitchen storage solutions to finding your pots & pans, silverware, and Tupperware easily when you need them. No more searching all over for the pan you need to cook.

Pots & Pans Storage

Instead of just throwing your pans into the cabinets and then searching for them when it’s time to cook use this pan rack.

What’s great about this storage rack is it can be made into two separate racks or expanded to hold up to 7 pans, sheet pans, cookie sheets or muffin tins. I like that it’s versatile for each user.

Also when you use a potholder the pans are not stacked onto each other which can lead to scratches on the pans.

The Simple Trending Pot and Lid holder can be used laying flat or standing up. It looks great on your kitchen counter or inside your cabinets. I like that it is adjustable to the size of your pans and can also hold your pot lid.

Now that you have your pans organized in the cabinets you need a place to put your lids. This Decobros Wall and Door Mounted lid holder is the perfect complement to the potholders. You’ll save tons of space by mounting it on your cabinet door.

Pan Storage Hack

Another great idea to keep you pans from scratching each other when stacked is to use cloth trivets.

In my own kitchen in the islands large drawers I stack my pans with these Woven Trivet Coasters inbetween each frying pan. It’s a clever way to keep your pans from scratching each other.

Cutting Boards & Sheet Pan Storage

A great way to organize your cutting boards and sheet pans with this expandable 7 section holder. It has non-slip feet so nothing will move when you’re grabbing a cutting board. You can easily see what you need and grab it from the kitchen cabinet.
