Spring Tidying: Kitchen Storage & Organization

Spring tidying season has arrived, which means it’s time to get organized! Decluttering can be an overwhelming task. However, it’s a little easier to chew if you break it off into smaller bite-size pieces.

One room that’s a magnet for home clutter is the kitchen. We all know kitchens are where family life happens; they’re the hub of daily rhythms and routines. Luckily, countless design solutions maximize kitchen efficiency and organization.

Storage options have come a long way from basic cabinets to pull-out drawers, spice racks, appliance garages, beverage centers, baking areas, garbage pull-outs, coffee bars, hidden pantries, prep kitchens, open shelves, and custom display spaces.

Spring cleaning is a lot easier when you begin with a beautifully planned space - don’t you think? Scroll below for a gallery of fresh kitchen storage and organization inspiration!
