Free Up Kitchen Counter Space With An Effective Solution For Organizing Utensils

Figuring out ways to maximize your kitchen countertops space can seem like an impossible task when you have a large collection of utensils. Sure, you could downsize and get rid of a few pieces, but what if there was an easier way to free up some room? It turns out this is totally possible and requires very little effort. All you have to do is store your less frequently used utensils in bins and place them in the cabinets above your fridge. As for the pieces you use daily, place those in a utensil holder next to your stove so that they are right within reach.

There is really no need to keep the utensils you use less often on your countertops. Since you aren't reaching for them everyday, it probably isn't a huge burden to take them out of your above-fridge cabinets as needed. Items like rolling pins, meat tenderizers, and can openers might fall into this category for you. On the other hand, it's most convenient to store essentials like spatulas, mixing spoons, or tongs on countertops so that you can access them with ease during your daily cooking sessions. Sorting utensils using this method is one of the best ways to declutter your kitchen countertops.

The utensils you use on a daily basis can be placed in a traditional countertop utensil holder if you have enough space for it. However, you could take this hack to the next level by utilizing hanging storage for these pieces instead. This way, your kitchen countertops will be free of all large cooking utensils. You can then use the extra space for food preparation, decor, or whatever else you'd like. The EigPluy Under Cabinet Kitchen Utensil Hooks are a great option because they can be installed out of sight under a cabinet. They also rotate for added convenience. Keep in mind that you would need to opt for a traditional utensil holder instead if your pieces do not have holes in the handles to hang them.

Those utensils you do not use as frequently could be stored in the Vtopmart Clear Stackable Storage Bins. These should slide right into the cabinets above your fridge. If you don't have cabinets in that location, just slide the bins into your lower cabinets instead. You should have a lot more extra countertop storage space when you're done using these tips to rearrange your cooking utensils. Make the most of the additional room by utilizing other space-saving storage systems rather than leaving things scattered on your countertops. For example, if you have a tea bag collection, place it inside of something like the Lifewit Plastic Stackable Tea Bag Organizer.
