Have you ever feel so annoyed when you cannot find something that you think you had kept it somewhere and you really need that time? I have experienced that too .Especially when you are in a hurry ,but you cannot find the things that you want. It is very irritating and spoiled your mood and make your cooking so frustrating . Now let’s avoid that bad feeling or frustration to happen by organizing your kitchen so you can do your cooking smoothly , enjoyable and make your food well done .
Either you are staying in a small apartment with small kitchen or a big house with large kitchen , you still have to plan and organize things . Look around your kitchen before you decide to buy something . Note down what you need or what you want to improve . For small kitchen you really need to maximize your space so that no space will be wasted whilst for bigger kitchen, space might not the problem, but you still need to organize it for easy access so that you will not running around looking for things . Put the things that you used most often near to your area of cooking for easy access so you can do your work efficiently .
What you may need in your kitchen for storage ? Well, the basic things that you may need are storage canisters, storage jars , plastic storage , spice racks , pot racks, trash racks, dish racks, cookie jars, shopping Cart, counter cabinet and may be a few more things depending to your need and space available .
Canisters are useful to keep your spices ,grains, flour , sugar , coffee , any kind of beverage and anything that you need to keep in the kitchen to get rid of the plastic bag to make it look neat and tidy . You can choose any material and features of canisters you like .
For easy identifying , you may select a glass or plastic materials so you can see through what is inside without opening it so you can find it faster. If you choose the material that cannot see through , you may need to label the contain outside the canister . Consider where you want to place the item too.
For glasses or ceramic material that breakable it might not safe to put it on the high place unless you do it carefully so it won't drop. But for households with children it might not suitable to use canisters that easily break . You may use other material such as plastic , metal or stainless steel. I do like plastic canisters for safety purposes . Consider the sizes too , you may need a small canister for spices and bigger canisters for grains and flour . You can arrange you canisters in a decorative way so it will make your kitchen attractive ,entertaining and make you feel good .
Trash can is also important item in your kitchen. Proper and good trash cans can keep your kitchen away from bad odor that comes from your garbage . These Trash cans can help to maintain hygiene in your kitchen as your garbage is properly thrown inside the cans and the lids prevent the lies from going inside the garbage or other animal like dogs . Trash cans comes from various size so you can choose the one that fit to you space whether you want to put under the table or cupboard . Trash Can with steel pedal is so practical as you do not need to touch the lid and cause dirty to your hands .

Dish racks are where you can keep your plates , cups, spoons ,spatula , knives , chopsticks or other utensils that you used in the kitchen . When you buy dish rack , consider the material . I do like plastic or stainless steel because it’s not breakable , easy to clean, easy to handle and can last long . The stainless steel is better in terms of sturdiness and long lasting , but might be more expensive than the plastic one but it’s worth buying . Another thing that you consider when buying is the size, especially if your space is small . You really need to measure your space to fit the dish rack size . Dish rack may come from different styles and features, choose with your preferences and suits your need and space. Racks with a few shelves is good to save space .

A pot rack is a kind of kitchen furniture that is used to hang or store pots and pans. Normally it is made of Steel, wood, iron or other metals and range in sizes from one foot or less to fifteen feet long or more . Using a pot rack can give convenience because the pots and pans can be taken easily when they are needed. Pot racks also very useful and practical to use in a small kitchen because it saves storage in the cabinet for other things .
There are three basic categories of pot racks which are hanging , wall mounted and free standing. The hanging types of pot racks are the most common type one . They usually come with chains or extension hook and ceiling screw . Pots and pans can be hung directly from the grid or from the rim using these hooks. Hanging pot racks come in various heights. For installation , the pots should be located about one foot above the height of a person's head for convenience and easy access .
Wall mounted pot racks are for hanging pots and pans on the wall to save space. They are attached with screws that are drilled into wall studs . Pots are hung on the knob that protrude from the bar. Free standing pot racks are sit directly on the ground and not attached to anything else. There are many different styles for free standing pot racks. Some stand freely with hooks to hang the pot on and some look like tall book shelves .
All pots and pans rack should be attached safely to the wall or ceiling accordingly . Otherwise, the weight of the pots and pans may dislodge the pot rack, damage your wall or ceiling and become a safety hazard.
