Whether you like to experiment with new recipes and consider yourself an amateur chef or you’re the type that depends on frozen meals, your family probably relies a lot on your kitchen. This is where you start and end your day, prepare meals and gather as a family. Since this is one of the most important rooms in your home, anything you can do to make it easier to use makes it an even better family hangout space.

Compact and Beautiful Spice Organization

Attach some Mason jar lids underneath a cabinet, fill some small jars with spices, and then screw them to the lids. You’ll always have plenty of spices on hand and this organization trick actually makes a fun conversation piece for your kitchen.

Pot Lid Control with Magazine Racks

Install a magazine rack to the inside of a cabinet door and use it to store lids for pots, pans and even Tupperware. Now you’ll never have to waste time searching for the right lid again!

Lazy Susan in the Fridge

If you find yourself digging through bottles, containers and condiments in your refrigerator, try using a lazy susan. Add one to a shelf and use it to arrange things you access regularly so all you have to do is spin it to get what you need. When you clean out and organize your fridge, it’s a great time to make sure it’s working properly. Contact Seaford plumbers that specialize in appliance repair if you notice anything out of place.

Tissue Box turned Bag Keeper

Use an empty tissue box to store plastic grocery bags in a closet or cupboard so they won’t take over and you’ll still have lots of room to store other things.

DIY Dishtowel Hangers

If you’re the type that likes to hang dishtowels on your oven handle, you’ll love this tip. Loop a short piece of ribbon over the handle, or any other spot in your kitchen, and tie each end to one side of a binder clip. Now you have a handy place to hang towels where they won’t slip off.

Easy Recipe Holder

Make reading recipes while you’re cooking easy by hanging a small hanger with clips to a cupboard knob. Clip the recipe to the hanger so it will be at eye level and you can easily read the recipe as you put together a hot meal or divine dessert.
