How do you organise your kitchen drawers?

[noitsnotteatimeyet]

Mine are overflowing with cutlery and gadgets - it’s driving me mad! I need inspiration to get them organised (I probably need to dump most of the crap too 🙄)

Open drawer, dump things. Every fucking thing is entangled and I swear and mutter as I look for things while food gets overdone. Sorry.

Thanks bluebells that’s pretty much what I’m doing too 😂 but I’m determined to get ‘properly’ organised...

Six drawers. Two sets of 1000 pan drawers next to each other.

Left side, top drawer cutlery ... in a big cutlery tray that fills the drawer.
Middle drawer, dishes we use frequently (no need to bend) eg. cereal bowls (2 sets), my Denby set, cheese grater, lasagne dish.
Third drawer, less frequently (need to bend), pie dishes, oven to tables dishes used mainly weekends.

Right side, top drawer, clingfilm, foil, greaseproof paper down one side, food freezer bags and teatowels/hand towels down the other side
Middle drawer, dinner plates, pasta bowls, side plates
Third drawer, saucepans

When I changed my kitchen I deliberately got rid of as many dumping drawers as I could (did the design myself got the kitchen rep to ensure measurements and price it) and I was brutal in getting rid of stuff.

Previously I allowed my old kitchen to be very cluttered and I put that down to lack of good storeage, so now after creating masses of storeage I’m very firm with myself that everything in this new kitchen has to earn it’s space.

I'm quite organised with mine - it involved taking everything out and sorting into 2 piles, keep or bin. Then into separate drawers - one for tea towels, one for dishcloths/sponges, one double cutlery insert drawer, one loose utensils drawer, one for clingfilm etc, one for the dog leads, one for table mats, one for carriers and one for chopping boards. Then four deep drawers for pots pans and plates etc. And a token shit drawer that most of the time has to be wrangled open and involves a lot of swearing ........

Placemarking

I have decluttered them so I am getting there. I have started to use clear storage boxes so all my baking stuff is in a large box. I am thinking of buying more for the drawers for stuff I don't use everyday but I am not sure.
