A neat, well-ordered cooking space is much easier and more enjoyable to use, so learn how to organise a kitchen like a pro to enhance everyday tasks. Featuring product recommendations, storage solutions, and planning tips, we make it easy to create a functional design that is free of clutter. We also cover simple hacks that can boost organisation, like decluttering cupboards and sorting kitchenware, so everything is close at hand when prepping a feast for the whole family.

Clear away clutter

Set aside time to dispose of expired groceries or unwanted items, then stay tidy with a dedicated bin to separate food waste and recycling.

Clear away clutter

Decluttering will make daily tasks easier by freeing up counter space and organising supplies, so it is important to dedicate a day or two to this activity. A multi-compartment bin can help maintain an orderly set-up by providing a way to sort rubbish and recyclable materials. Choose a design that fits neatly inside a cupboard for a discreet disposal solution.

Complete a deep clean

When units are empty, give them a thorough wipe down to get rid of any grime and dirt that has built up. This will provide peace of mind that storage areas are food-safe before refilling. To minimise maintenance, the back, side panels, and shelves of our cupboards are treated with an antibacterial coating, which reduces bacteria growth over a 24-hour period.

Do more with drawers

Divide cookware into categories using drawers to ensure every piece of crockery has a home and is easily reached when preparing dinner.

Do more with drawers

Offering a top-down view of the contents, drawers make it faster to find items used during mealtimes and are more accessible – handy in a multigenerational home. Choose a cupboard configuration that offers differing compartment depths to house larger pots and pans alongside smaller utensils.

Access all angles

Make the most of the space inside corner units with accessories. These will bring hard-to-reach items closer to hand – great for a U or L-shaped layout.

Access all angles

Corners are often overlooked when organising a cooking area, so maximise every angle of a floorplan with storage accessories. A pull-out model will work well in larger rooms, as it requires space to extend from the unit. Meanwhile, carousels – which sit inside the cupboard to move goods forward – are a smart option for compact designs.

Perfect the pantry

Save time when cooking by keeping ingredients in clear containers. Store in a pull-out larder to place supplies in plain sight.

Perfect the pantry

Whether checking stocks before the weekly shop or looking for a specific sauce, pull-out storage is a chef’s best friend. Customise towers with metal baskets, which are sold separately, to boost organisation. These feature an anti-slip coating, so jars or bottles remain upright, preventing spillages and allowing frequently-used items to be placed at a convenient height for fast access.

Organise inside

Stay up to date with your spice collection by fitting larder accessories. These will keep everything neatly arranged so that older items are used up first.

Organise inside

A well-ordered larder reduces waste especially when accessories, like timber balconies, are used. Fitted inside the door-front, these are excellent for organising ingredients by date, so that anything close to expiring can be finished first. They also maximise storage to ensure cupboards are always stocked with supplies, allowing any chef to tackle a recipe with ease.

Stay chilled

Sort out refrigerator shelves to ensure there are always fresh ingredients on hand. Remember to clean regularly to keep spills and stains at bay.

Stay chilled

Carefully arranging food in cooling equipment will prevent cross-contamination, reduce spoilage, and make it easy to see everything. Look for models with multiple drawers and shelves to keep raw meat and vegetables safely separated. For a neater finish, an integrated device will sit discreetly behind a door-front to dial down visual clutter in an organised cooking space.

Cook with convenience

Fill a chiller with leftovers, pre-prepared vegetables, and healthy snacks for a time-saving organisation idea that will get dinner on the table quickly.

Cook with convenience

Freezing excess food or extra supplies means there will always be something to eat at short notice and can help save money on grocery bills, too. This idea is also a savvy way to reduce waste while getting organised, as fresh produce can be preserved for longer. Look for a frost-free model to avoid the hassle of defrosting and maximise storage space by reducing icy build-ups.

Shine a light on storage

Add lighting inside cupboards to illuminate the contents – a useful hack in the darker months when prepping lunch boxes or cooking a feast.

Keep crockery in sight

As well as making it easier to set the table, plate racks can break up a solid bank of wall units to create a more visually dynamic design. Always on view, they can be brightened with colourful crockery or used to display special occasion pieces. Thanks to its timber construction, this shelving can also be sanded and painted to create a stand-out feature – great for those wanting a custom look.
