    Collage of kitchen cabinet organization ideas including under sink cabinets and behind the cabinet door storage solutions.

    Let’s be honest, maintaining orderly kitchen cabinets is a daunting task. Kitchens hide a lot of stuff behind closed doors. Many kitchen items get used and re-stocked regularly; traditional storage methods just won’t cut it. It’s important to design systems that withstand the challenges of real life.

    I’m a big convert to the idea of using hidden spaces for organization. Once I realized that my cabinet doors offered me for storage, I was hooked! The door to my pantry, linen closet, and my son’s clothes closet have all become proper storage spaces to date.

    The best part? A major kitchen overhaul isn’t required to implement changes. These DIY solutions are simple. Life is more enjoyable when its clutter free.
