See these ten clever Kitchen Organization and Storage Tips to simplify your life and meal preparation.
The Kitchen is the hub of the home! It’s where we fuel our family, our kids do their homework and we entertain our friends so we all need smart kitchen organization and efficient storage!For our family, it’s essential that our kitchen is organized to the max so we can run our day to day lives as smoothly as possible!
We have lots of pantry and cupboard space in our kitchen but I still needed to come up with some clever kitchen storage solutions to organize our food items, cooking utensils and cook books.
So I’ve gathered my 10 Best Kitchen Organization Tips to share!
The first place I organize is my refrigerator since this is where the bulk of our food is stored that we use daily.
Thankfully my new Frigidaire French Door Bottom Mount Refrigerator is so cleverly designed that it keeps my family super organized!

Our new stainless steel Frigidaire Gallery fridge is perfectly designed for organization – it has adjustable interior storage with over 100 ways to organize and customize this refrigerator! Look at all the space!
This fridge is the most organized and convenient fridge I’ve ever seen! The SpaceWise® Organization System with Flip-Up and Slide- Under shelves lets me adjust the height and make room for storing taller objects like large pictures of lemonade and milk. Very handy!
Slide-Under Shelves are so convenient for storing tall items like bottles of soda and juice:
I organize our yogurt cups on the top shelf. Three rows high fit perfectly here.
Cartons of eggs are well organized under the ice maker component.
The the Store-More™ full-width drawer is great for organizing our cheese and cold meats:
The Store-More™ drawers and bins and Effortless™ Glide Crisper Drawers are incredibly roomy, which means lots of space to organize veggies and fruit.
The Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator also offers lots of storage and organization ability with the French Door shelving. Our salad dressings are organized on one shelf, mustard and relish on another. Everything is within easy reach!
Effortless™ Glide Freezer Drawers glide out smoothly and fully extend, allowing easy access to what’s inside and the various compartments will allow me to organize my various freezer items too!
The top freezer drawer has two sections! The left section organizes frozen juice, berries and ice cream (yes we love ice cream here!!). The right section organizes our bread, bagels, hot dog and hamburger buns.
Here’s a look at the bottom freezer rack. The deep left section is perfect for organizing my frozen vegetables and the right compartment stores our frozen meat:
As you can see the Frigidaire Gallery French Door Bottom Mount refrigerator really keeps me organized!

Marion Sullivan says
September 15, 2013 at 1:35 amHeather, where did you purchase the basket you use for the bread, buns, etc? I am looking at getting rid of my bulking looking bread box as bread spoils too fast in it anyway and goodness knows the bread never gets put back inside after use by my family 🙂
Great tips!
Heather SettingforFour says
September 15, 2013 at 4:18 amThanks Marion!! I purchased it from Pier one a number of years ago…I’d look there or Target,Ross, HomeGoods..any sort of wicker basket that is shallow will work well!! Good luck!

November 21, 2013 at 8:57 amI can’t say enough great things in regards to this space office. We get a charge out of their administration a whole lot. I feel extremely good saving my things at this Storage Place. I can propose this Storage office no ifs and buts.
