Not exactly everyone’s most organized area, even if your computer desk is a GTD haven. If you are lucky enough to be one of those people who cooks, a well planned kitchen is bliss.
WikiHow has the run down of 8 steps to getting things in order and a few tips to keeping it that way.
Organize according to how traffic and activities do flow, not necessarily according to how they should flow.
If you choose to put spices near the stove, make sure they will stay cool and dry. Heat and moisture will spoil the flavor, and you will have to replace them much more often.
Do you have a “junk drawer” or other catch-all area in your kitchen? If so, why? Take a good, critical look at its contents. Consider giving it a specific purpose and definitely throw out any junk that’s not needed!
Pace yourself. Unless you’re just moving in, don’t try to organize an entire kitchen all at once. You’ll just scatter stuff all over and get frustrated. Instead, go one drawer, shelf, or cabinet at a time.
Iron Chefs, now do battle.
How To Organize A Kitchen – [wikiHow]
There’s nothing like an organized kitchen. I’ve always suffered the effects of an unorganized kitchen. It consumes your time in searching for those spatula and other kitchen utensils. You’ll wonder why is it that you spend a lot of time cooking where in fact you spend most of it looking for something because you don’t know where it is.
Our kitchen needs some serious re-organisation… And we have a “junk drawer”… Great post!

I agree with Alan. It nice to cook with an organized kitchen. We are just wasting time with an unorganized kitchen.
For drawers, these items work great:
the Expandable Knife Drawer Organizer
the Expandable Utensil Drawer Organizer
and the Expandable Cutlery Drawer Organizer!
I con’t imagine a kitchen without a junk droor. I would be wary of the type of person with no junk droor.
Thank you for your nice advices :) I think i wil have a nicer Kitchen after organizating my Kitchen acording to your advices :)
I like the flowers on the floot

The kitchen often epitomizes our abundant lifestyle. We have more pots/pans than we need. We have more mugs than we can use. We have more dishes, more serving platters, more utensils then we have space to house. We are ready for anything! We think we have all that we need, but what we really need is to purge our excesses, sort our necessities, and organize our work areas into zones.
