The kitchen is an area of your home that is used more often than most other areas. An organised kitchen makes life easier for women while an untidy kitchen always makes cooking difficult, hence the need to have an organised kitchen any day, anytime.

Clearing decks by putting away items neatly in their proper places will give you an orderly kitchen. 

It is necessary to wash the dishes and utensils you used in cooking in order to avoid their piling up and occupying space. 

Let the cabinets be well arranged and learn how to put utensils where they belong. Hang those needed to be hanged and put those for the cabinet in their appropriate places.

Your aprons should not be flying around, on the stool, or just anywhere, but on the hanger. 

Pot holders should be used and dish towels put on pegs.

Store items according to their use: arrange your kitchenware by frequency of use, with everyday dishes on an easy-to-reach lower shelf and special occasion pieces up above.

Group objects by purpose and assign them to specific cabinets.

Create a cooking zone around the stove, storing pots and pans as close to the range as possible.

Put items readily locatable, cutlery neatly separated, so you never have to be scouting around for what you need.

Keep open shelves uncluttered by stashing items in airy baskets.

Organise your pantry shelves as you would a library, with food items grouped by category.
