8 Ways to Organize Your Kitchen Countertops


Looking for better ways to organize your countertops in the kitchen? Aren’t we all?

No matter what you do or how much you clean, the countertops have a way of becoming cluttered and messy in no time.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. As your online source for kitchen cabinets, we at Kitchen Cabinet Concepts know all about organizing your countertops, cabinets and more. Our free design services help your make the most of your kitchen space.

With a little planning and the right cabinets and accessories, you can organize your kitchen in no time. Here are eight ways to help you organize your kitchen countertops.

Baskets and Trays

Use baskets and trays to organize your countertop items. That way you’ll know where everything goes. Maybe it’s a tray for coffee supplies or cooking oils. Or it could be a basket or two for fruit, dish towels or pet treats. Use them to your advantage.

Tall Containers

Consider a tall container or antique pitcher to store your cooking utensils. This can keep them all in one space and right at your fingertips, freeing up drawer space for other items.

Roll-Out Shelves

Roll-out shelving is perfect for cleaning up your countertops. No need to store those appliances on your countertop where they take up valuable space. Instead, store them on roll-out shelves in your cabinets, which provide easy access.

Stem Wine Glass Holder

By installing a stem wine glass holder beneath your wall cabinets, you’ll free up more space in your cabinets where you used to store those glasses. Are you getting excited thinking about what you could store in that space? We are too!

Lazy Susan

If you have a corner cabinet that seems more like a big dark cavern instead of organized space, consider adding a Lazy Susan to make the most of that space. No more crawling inside to get that item in the back. A lazy susan brings everything right to you.

Deep Drawers

Deep drawers can really help you with counter clutter, allowing you space for some appliances and other items. More and more clients are adding sections of deep drawers in their kitchens rather than traditional cabinets.

Wall End Shelf

Everything can’t be on the counter. That’s why there are wall end shelves to help you store things. Install a wall end shelf that matches your cabinet finish and suddenly you’ll have some extra space for display items, cook books and more.

Wall Spice Drawer

Mount a wall spice drawer beneath your upper cabinets, and you’ll free up previously occupied cabinet or drawer space. It’s the perfect size for spices so you’ll make the most of your space and they come in the same finishes as our cabinets.
