Kitchen organizer - Get organized with glasses, drawers, and fridge

A kitchen organizer is not about hiding away as much as possible, but about creating designated places for the food items and tools you use daily. When glasses, drawers, spices, and the refrigerator have a clear structure, it becomes easier to find what you need and simpler to keep the kitchen tidy. At Ele Living, you'll find functional solutions for kitchen organization, where aesthetics and overview go hand in hand.

Start by dividing the kitchen into zones. This makes it easier to choose the right organizer for each area. Drawers should contain what you use for table setting and cooking. Cabinets can be used for dry goods, glasses, and containers. The refrigerator works best when food items are grouped into manageable categories.

A simple method is to tackle one area at a time. Empty the drawer or shelf, remove what you don't use, and give the rest a designated spot. This is a practical approach that aligns well with Ele Living's focus on minimalist organization: only what you need, in a way that brings calm to everyday life.

Dry goods such as pasta, rice, oatmeal, flour, and snacks are ideal for gathering in uniform jars. This creates a calm look in the cabinet and makes it easy to see what you have left. A practical example is the square storage jar 1000 ml with light wooden lid, which is well-suited for many common dry goods.

Square jars utilize shelf space well because they can be placed closely together. They are also great if you want to reduce clutter from open bags and packaging. Feel free to use the same type of jars in multiple sizes to give the cabinet a more cohesive look.

Drawers quickly become chaotic if cutlery, measuring spoons, and small kitchen utensils are jumbled together. A fixed division means you can find what you need without rummaging through the entire drawer. A cutlery tray is a simple kitchen organizer for everyday cutlery and small tools.

Place the most frequently used items at the front of the drawer. This could be forks, spoons, knives, and the tools you use daily. What you use less often can be placed further back. In this way, the drawer follows your routines instead of creating extra work.

A turntable is a good solution when you want easy access to small bottles and jars in a cabinet or on a shelf. Instead of moving several products to reach the one at the back, you can spin the turntable and see the contents immediately. The bamboo turntable is particularly suitable for a kitchen where organization should also be visible and attractive.

Use the turntable for:

• Spices: Gather the spices you use most in one place.
• Oils and vinegars: Place bottles together so they are easy to grab.
• Small jars: Use it for smaller containers that would otherwise disappear at the back of the cabinet.

The refrigerator is also an important part of an organized kitchen. When food items have designated places, it becomes easier to use what's already open and maintain an overview of groceries. A practical example is the refrigerator box XS, which is great for small loose food items such as snacks and cold cuts.

Small boxes can be used for berries and snacks, medium sizes for dairy products, open jars, or larger fruits and vegetables. If you choose refrigerator boxes with lids, you can close the boxes with their respective lids and stack them on top of each other to make better use of space in the refrigerator. When you pull out the box, it's easy to see the contents and put it back in place.

The best kitchen organizer is the one you actually use. Stick to a few repeated sizes, gather similar food items in the same place, and keep the most frequently used solutions most accessible. When the kitchen is organized according to your habits, it becomes easier to maintain an overview and create more calm in everyday life.
