The 3 Best Organizing Products to Reduce Kitchen Clutter
“Having a simplified, uncluttered home is a form of self-care”

Declutter Services Toronto
I don’t love to cook, 🫣 but when I have to (which is often), I feel better preparing a meal when my kitchen is neat and organized.
Why is that?
I am not struggling with visual distractions (crowded countertops and congested pantries), allowing me to focus
I have the mental clarity to get the meal prep done because I am not thinking about where to find ingredients
I am more motivated to work in a kitchen where I have what I need
I am more efficient with my time
When you have the luxury of a clutter-free and organized kitchen, your mood and productivity are positively impacted, and who doesn't need more of that?!
This is especially true when you are responsible for cooking for your family but would rather binge-watch “Emily in Paris” 😜
I have rounded up three simple organizing products that have the most significant impact on kitchen organization.
Promise me you won’t forget that ruthless declutter that needs to happen before the ‘add to cart’ joy 🤗
Spice Jars and Labels
“Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up”
~A.A. Milne
Before I committed to spice jar organization in my kitchen, I had spice bags wrapped in elastics or taped closed to secure the never-ending spillage and chaos in my pantry. I constantly bought duplicates and dealt with expired spices because I never knew what I had on hand when shopping for a recipe I wanted to try.
Uniform jars and labels will change how you work in your kitchen by
allowing you to see the contents at a glance (clear jars and easy-to-read labels)- say goodbye to purchasing duplicates
being easily accessible (spice tray drawer inserts are amazing!)
space efficiency (squared bottoms are best)
reduced mess (spillage)
creating a visually appealing display
“I regret organizing my spices” said no one ever 😆
Pantry Canisters
I love to have most of my dry goods like flour, sugar, nuts, pasta and rice decanted and labelled in clear canisters.
Preparing, cooking and baking are seamless when I can quickly grab and go. Other reasons I love decanting include
space efficiency - stackable containers make it easy to access items and maximize the vertical height on shelves where that space would otherwise be lost
protection - air-tight seals keep pantry items fresh longer
easy identification - clear containers allow you to see the contents, reducing the time spent searching for items
“For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned”
~ Benjamin Franklin
Turn Tables
I love my turntables! I have several in my kitchen 💕
Turn tables help to keep clutter at bay by
maximizing space as they are great for awkward corner cabinets and hard-to-reach uppers, allowing you to store more items without clutter
being convenient- rotating the turntable will enable you to reach all the items without having to dig into the back corners of your cabinets
being a versatile organizing product- you can use them anywhere!
Consider turntables for the following areas of your kitchen:
top shelf of your fridge for condiments
corner cabinets or hard-to-reach uppers for oils and vinegars
countertops for everyday items (salt, pepper, and cooking oils)
under the sink for cleaning products
Incorporating these organizing products into your kitchen can significantly reduce clutter, enhance efficiency, and create a more enjoyable cooking environment. And who wouldn’t want that?!
