DRAWE RS : Just say no to junk drawers. Especially if your kitchen doesn’t have much drawer space, it’s important to reserve them for essentials like silverware and kitchen utensils. Consider getting drawer organizers to prevent clutter. “If you’re unloading the dishwasher, make sure you’re putting things in the same spot,” Faber says. “Drawer organizers really come in handy because you’re like, Oh, there’s an empty hole. That’s where the pizza cutter goes. ” Make sure you measure the drawer organizers’ lengths, widths and depths to ensure they fit, while also being big enough to house larger items like spatulas. PO T S & PANS : Keep pots and pans near the stove. “Some people have pots and pans drawers,” she says. “If you don’t have it, you can get creative.” Consider installing a pots and pans rack on your wall or ceiling. If you think that’ll look too busy, find a spot in a cabinet where you can nest them together. And if you have a low vertical cabinet, use it for large cutting boards and cookie sheets. “You don’t always have to make sure everything is perfect,” Faber says. “But if you build it into the routine, it’s easier to keep on top of.”
