That's it really. Am seriously fed up with opening my cupboards and findi g dh has put the crisps in the cupboard meant to have wine glasses in or flour in with the plates.

Cupboard 3 all goodies crisps sweets biscuits and diluting juices
Cupboard 4 all Tupperware and plastics
Cupboard 5 is a big double pantry type cupboard and that holds all dry foods, tins packets sauces etc

We are just putting in a new kitchen and will have big deep drawers everywhere. I'm v excited.

Big corner double doors pantry for non perishable food/drink
Deep drawers x 6 for saucepans/ roasting tins/ baking tins/ electric whisks/Kenwood/mini food processor.
Normal drawers x 4 for cutlery/baking utensils/tinfoil,cling film,baking parchment/ and man stuff
4 cupboards with lunch boxes/tupperwear/pet stuff/ random junk

We are very lucky in that we were able to build an entirely new kitchen 2 years ago - different place to the old one - so were able to design it as we would use it rather than living with something random and hotch potch as we had before.

We have

• Small cupboard for tea, sugar, coffee, hot choc and teapots etc.
• Small cupboard next to it with all mugs on one level and then cereals above. This sounds a bit odd but it means breakfast things are all near each other. It's the only place where food and equipment are mixed.
• Small cupboard for all glasses
• Deep drawer for all plates and bowls
• Shallow drawer for cutlery

Under hob we have

• Deep drawer saucepans
• Shallow drawer above for frying pans
• Shallow drawer for utensils

Also have

• Deep drawer for pasta, rice, noodle type things
• Shallow drawer for herbs, spices, garlic, stock cubes etc
• Shallow drawer for chopping boards and weighing scales

Everything else, all food, is on shelves in a small walk-in pantry cupboard that was original with the house

Basically food and equipment are kept separately and we try to keep things near to where they are used, or grouped together.

We are having an appliance garage in our new kitchen. Its just a double door cupboard at work surface height with electric power points and lighting inside. Everything messy can then be hidden away (microwave, kettle, food mixer, toaster (on a pull out shelf for using)). I'm very excited about having no "things" crowding my surfaces.

Ooh thank you all. Will read later when on laptop instead of my phone!!

Working from one side of our diddy kitchen to the other:-

One set of three drawers:-

1. Everyday cutlery and utensils 2) Teatowels, napkins and placemats and 3)tin foil, greaseproof paper, cling film etc, takeaway menus and "posh" plastic or paper bags (!) to be reused

Under counter cupboards:-

1. Corner cupboard with "everyday" plates and bowls and spare mugs on the top shelf, serving bowls, glass bowls and things like toast racks, egg cups etc on the bottom shelf.
2. Corner cupboard with pots and plans and "baking" things e.g. trays, cooling rackets, bun tins on top shelf and large mixing bowls, whisk, blender, slow cooker on bottom shelf
3. Undersink cupboard with iron, cleaning things, shoe cleaning things, torch and bin bags
4. "Plastics" cupboard with lunchboxes, thermoses, freezer tubs (and cat food bag!)

Wall units:-

1. Dry goods and baking ingredients
2. (Glass fronted) everyday drinking glasses on top shelf, herbal teas and hot chocolate tins on middle shelf and everyday mugs on bottom shelf
3. (Glass fronted) cocktail and champagne glasses
4. Breakfast cereals and vitamins

There is a cupboard above the extractor that is up high so we keep medicines in there and also cake stands!

We have three wicker baskets on top of the wall units for 1) "treats" 2) spare plastic tubs 3) cake decorating things

We also have a pull out drawer the same height as the under counter cupboards but only about a third as wide where we keep dried herbs etc.

We also have a freestanding dresser which is a bit of a frivolity but has my vintage teacup collection, cake tins, pasta jars, cookery books and radio on it.

Very small kitchen here!

Wall cupboard one - top shelf glasses, middle pasta plates, bowls and mugs/bottles, bottom shelf dinner plates, sides plates and hot drink stuff/baby milk. Tiny shelf next holds colander and pans stack. Base cabinet holds food processer / electric whisk and cake tins one side and the other side holds savoury bakeware. Top of the fridge holds cereal and a big big Tupperware container of rice.
Wall cupboard two - cake making stuff and bread stuff one side other side savoury stuff. I called it the pantry cupboard.
Base cupboard two is the under sink cupboard and holds washing stuff and kitchen cleaning stuff.
