You are going to want to focus on how you can organize the food items that you have. Your refrigerator can be cleaned out, and you can use several different organizational products. You can try Lazy-Susan turners and plastic bins to organize your refrigerator and keep it organized. Chances are you will have to delve into those food pantries, and do the same thing. Keeping like items together, for instance, all of the soups on one set of shelves and the vegetables on the other will add to your ability to stay organized. You also might want to look into purchasing a nice spice rack, preferably one that you can mount to the wall so it will be out of the way. Another nice component you might want to think about would be some extra shelving or drawers for things like cooking oils and other condiments that you use on a daily basis. Items such as these should be organized and stored close to where they are most often used. You should try to have a drawer or shelf within reach of the stove or counter top for easy access.
A major clutter problem comes from the organization of your dishes and cooking utensils. In order to make room for your pots and pans you can always hang them from your ceiling. Not only is this a different look for your kitchen, but it is quite a space saver. If you hang your pots and pans above your stove, not only are they out of the way but they are within reach. You can have your dishes stored in cupboards, which will allow them to be used easily and quickly. It is always nice to have your utensils nearby as well. Getting a utensil cup is something that can go a long way for the organization of your kitchen.
