6 Easy Ways to Keep Your Kitchen Well Organized
Because nothing sparks joy like knowing where to find everything.
If you’re like most people we know, “organize the [fill in the blank]” is perpetually on your to-do list, and that blank is often something to do with your kitchen. It's a room your family rummages around in eleventy billion times a day, so chaos creeps up easily in your pantry, knife drawer, pots and pans, dish-towel collection...
What’s more, organization schemes tend to evolve: One month, you want your spices alphabetized on revolving racks; the next, you wish they were grouped by flavor profile and laid flat in a tiered drawer. That’s where The Home Depot can really save your bacon: The home-improvement behemoth is stacked to the rafters with kitchen organizers (kitchen everything, really) at prices that mean it’s NBD to switch strategies every once in a while. Here, we’ve whipped up a starter pack of organizing tools that will help you feel calmer, and maybe even cook better.
A cardinal space-saving rule: Build up, not out. This two-tier rack, made of food-grade plastic and rustproof steel, lets a dinner’s worth of hand-washed dishes and cookware drain with plenty of counter space to spare. Our fave feature: the slide-out trays underneath that catch water.
Especially handy if you’re a renter, this over-the-door rack will corral pantry items, cleaning supplies, even seldom-used utensils and pot lids.
Airtight, stackable, easy-open, space-efficient, dishwasher-safe—about the only thing that could make these BPA-free containers more desirable for a home cook is “does the shopping for you.”
Lid storage is a hotly debated subset of kitchen organization—just ask social media. But the color-coordinated, microwave-safe lids in this Pyrex food-storage set are an excellent start.

A movable workspace is genius, especially if your issue with storage isn’t so much having enough of it as having it where you want it. Turn this rolling cart into a mobile baking station by loading it up with your stand mixer, cake pans, decorating supplies, etc. (It even has a marble top to keep dough cool.) Tuck it into a corner until the next time someone’s craving cookies.
If your kitchen has more of a farmhouse vibe, consider this wheeled wonder. The beadboard doors and butcher block top will suit your style, while the easy-roll casters, dual drawers, adjustable interior shelves, and convenient towel rack will enhance your efficiency.
