Not everyone has the luxury of having enough counter space and extra storage for all their spices and equipment, but that shouldn’t be an excuse to have a disorderly kitchen. Clutter can be an eyesore and items haphazardly arranged could be taking up valuable real estate. Organize your kitchen with these space-saving items so that it’s aesthetically pleasing, yet still functional.

Utensil Tray
Find an organizer that fits into your kitchen drawer and use it as a utensil tray. That way, your utensils are neatly separated instead of just splayed all over.
Hanging Hook
Position them under cabinets or shelves to hang objects that would usually take up vertical space, like mugs or cooking tools. For pots and pans, have separate hooks that can handle the weight.

Air-tight Containers
Use clear, air-tight containers to store bulk items, and don’t forget to label them. It’s presentable and practical as food will be preserved longer and you’re aware of which ingredients will soon need a refill.
Acrylic Fridge Organizers
Refrain from just shoving everything in the fridge and organize them with transparent containers. Stackable ones are compact and make everything look neater.

A magnetic fridge rack is renter-friendly as no drilling is required and can be used to stash paper bills, hang paper towels, and display other belongings.
