5+ Solutions For The Ultimate Kitchen Drawer Edit
Looking to kickstart your spring organizing? Try the kitchen drawer edit. We’ve rounded up the best solutions — big and small — for organizing your kitchen drawers, straight from the pages of H&H. Scroll down!
1. Add A Spice Drawer
If you’re an avid cook, storing your spices in a convenient drawer will enhance your cooking experience. In Food Blogger Olivia Ribas’ kitchen, spices are organized and labeled in a top drawer by the cooktop so she can optimize productivity and focus on what’s important — cooking!
2. Store Flat Items In Your Thinnest Drawers
A slim sliding topper drawer serves as the perfect spot for flat items like placemats or trivets. Plus, deep pullout drawers in place of lower cupboards make reaching contents easier. “Now we have more storage without giving up living space,” says the owner of this Toronto Summerhill home.
3. Try Lighting Up Utensil Drawers
“Bloomsbury Kitchens made our cabinets,” says Lynda Reeves. “Among the bespoke options is a flatware drawer that lights up when opened. Great for late night snacks!”
4. Install An In-drawer Knife Block
Instead of taking up space on the counter, an dedicated drawer knife block will free up space and offer a handy (and safe!) spot for steak knives, chefs knives and beyond.
5. Line A Flatware Drawer With Anti-tarnish Cloth
Keep your fine cutlery looking polished and organized with an anti-tarnish cloth insert. This will cut down on cleaning and keep your silverware sparkling.
6. Use Deep Drawers To Stow Away Overflow Dishes
Reserve upper cabinets and open shelves for everyday dishes, and use deep pull out drawers for overflow. ‘They were seriously life-changing,” says designer Suzanne Dimma of this system.
