Tips for maintaining your cabinet organization:

  • Plan to go through your cabinets and do a complete overhaul once or twice a year, depending on what type of cook you are. If you make 3 meals a day at home, you'll need to re-vamp more often.
  • Appliances are the trickiest things to organize. Go through and re-assess which ones you're using and which are just taking up space. Follow our Appliance Organization Guide.
  • A big new trend is to install open shelving. I would encourage a mix of open and closed-door shelving, reason being, while your pretty plates and glassware may look streamlined and neat all stacked up, appliances are another story. They tend to be bulky and are better left behind closed doors.
