Between our busy schedules and all that meal prep, things get thrown in cupboards, never to be seen again. This spring, challenge yourself to spend one full day organizing your kitchen in smart, space-efficient ways to ensure that you can find all those amazing kitchen supplies you’ve lost in the mix of your cupboard chaos.

1. Pantry Labels

Labels, labels, and more labels! If you aren’t a huge fan of labeling, cut yourself a break and order these pre-made labels on Amazon.

2. Spice Labels

The spice rack can be one place things may get a little confusing as you grab one spice and then another to season your meal for the evening. Is it cinnamon or paprika?

To make things easier, place these fantastic spice labels stickers on your spice jars so that you can make sure you aren’t adding cayenne pepper to your cinnamon pancakes!

3. Storage Jars

One of the best ways to make your cupboards organized is by using clear storage containers and glasses so you can see everything at once.

This makes it easy to locate your ingredients and tell what needs to be refilled each week when you go grocery shopping.

5. Keurig Cup Holder

K-Cups have their place in the kitchen, and it’s definitely not on the counter! Store your Keurig cups in the cupboard either neatly tucked away in the K-cup Storage Drawer Holder or in the K-Cup Carousel.

Organize each “shelf” by roast or by type of K-Cup such as hot chocolate, chai latte and more.

9. Cleaning Station

Keeping all your brooms, mops and garbage bags in your closet or pantry may seem like a great idea at first, but it soon gets a little hectic when the broom keeps falling out at you every time you open the door.

If you can, add some doors to the end of your set of cupboards to create a shallow cupboard. Add hooks for your mop and broom, and a couple of small shelves to hold your cleaning supplies.
