How to get your kitchen organized for optimal use
Have you inherited a kitchen or are you are thinking of a newly designed one? Getting your kitchen organized takes planning.
In my last e-course in this whole home series, we are taking a look at the kitchen. The kitchen is a special place in our homes. It is the centre hub of our entire home. It may be the gathering place for everyone or it may be the one spot in your home that is most likely used the most!
An organized kitchen
Step 1
This is the million dollar question. How does one go about get the kitchen organized? If I was to be in your home with you, we would start with the number one question:
What is the vision for your kitchen?

A vision? Seriously? My answer will always be, “yes!” Without a vision for your kitchen, you have nothing guiding you. Perhaps your vision is: to have your kitchen to be more functional.
Although this is a great vision, this phrase actually needs to be broken down even more. I would have questions for you like,
- What is not working for you right now in your kitchen?
- What do you feel is not functional in your kitchen?
- How do you use your kitchen? Are you more of a baker? A cooker? Both?
- Do you have specific zones in your kitchen?

Oh my, all that beautiful organization. I want/need it all. Great post!
Thank you, Anne.
The whole idea of organizing everything appeals to me so much right now, Sheri. I’m in the middle of that process in my own home. I got a great start in January, and will do some more in February, until I get it all done.
Thanks for a great post on kitchen organizing and thinking in *zones.*
Oh, I love that feeling of going through and organizing (or re-organizing) a space in my own home. I’m not a sentimental person so holding on to things is not something I struggle with – which makes organizing easy for me to do. Are you someone who likes to hold on to things?
