My kitchen is almost always a disaster. I think it’s a combination of cats, cooking, and my husband and I constantly working. The dishes and bags of cereal, flour, and chips tend to pile up. No matter the reason, I always seem to have too much stuff and not enough storage to put it all in. One of my favorite social media platforms is Pinterest. I love to watch Pinterest cooks whipping up interesting new recipes in their pristine kitchens, and it always makes me think of my shamefully disastrous kitchen. So, I’ve been on the lookout for a while now for the best storage options on Amazon. I was looking for storage and gadgets that would make my kitchen, and thus my life, tidier and easier to manage. The list below is everything I’ve found and some of the items I’ve already used in my kitchen.
Get Supplies In Order
I find that my fridge turns messy quickly. These fridge organizers help keep everything in its place. Your friend will look and feel organized, and it’ll make grabbing lunch and dinner components far easier than groping blindly around soggy greens and spoiled milk.
Root Vegetable Storage
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve brought potatoes and onions home just for them to shed dirt and layers. It keeps my counter from ever looking clean, which makes me bonkers. These storage containers make it cute and easy to keep them out of sight and keep my counters clean.
Farmhouse Vibes
If you’re less “sleek and modern” and more “fancy and farmhouse,” then this is the utensil holder for you! This utensil holder screams, “come sit at my table and eat my lovely homemade meal with a recipe straight from Pinterest.”
Storage Solutions From A Pinterest Shot
This is the on-trend way to store your dry goods. They’ve got an airtight seal and come with the cutest label (and a chalk marker for labeling!) that allows you to see at a glance what you’ve got in stock.
Keep Your Cheese Fresh
Have you ever put together a charcuterie board and found yourself with quite a few leftover bits of cheese? Putting them into their containers clutters the fridge, and little plastic baggies always gather condensation. Still, these are the perfect fix! And they’re cute too.
Freezer To Oven Meal Prep Containers
These glass storage containers are a must-have if you’re into food prep! They’re cute and helpful for a multitude of meals, from salads to frozen casseroles. I love taking these with me because they’re air-sealed so that they won’t leak on me like most of my plastic containers.
The Organizer You Didn’t Know You Needed
This over-the-door pantry organizer is an ingenious space-saving way to create extra storage in any pantry. You can stash sauces, spices, or even bags of baking ingredients here. Every time you swing open the pantry door, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Pour Your Honey
Talk about Insta-pretty. This little honey dispenser is the cutest addition to any kitchen, and the bowl it rests in can be filled with warm water to keep the honey from crystallizing. It’ll make any honey usage so much easier.
This Dispenser is The Entertainers Dream
This Mason Jar beverage dispenser is an easy and stylish way to dispense beverages to your guests. Even ice them down with the built-in ice cylinder that’s sure to keep your drinks cold without watering them down!
A Snazzy Cocktail Set
I feel like one of the best steps I’ve made into adulthood has been investing in alcohol that I don’t plan to ingest until I inevitably puke immediately. A bar set is a massive step in that direction. This set is my favorite; it comes equipped with its storage and organizing container.
Multipurpose Mason Jars Are A Must-Have
These cute glass mason jars are my family’s preferred way to keep overnight oats, leftover wine, and our thirst-quenching ice water. This is a six-pack of aluminum-lidded pots that can be used to store pretty much anything you can think of.
Replace Those Old Measuring Cups
Not only will these stainless steel measuring cups replace your old, beat up, plastic measuring cups, they also stack conveniently so you don’t have to worry about adding more mess to your already full kitchen. They’ve got the measurements on the side so you can easily ensure you’ve got the right cup.
Super-Sized Storage Canisters
These canisters are the best way to keep your dry goods dry. The airtight seal keeps brown sugar from drying out, moisture from reaching flour, and, perhaps, small hands (or little paws) from getting the secret stash of treats.
Create More Countertop Space With This Storage Solution
My parents got me one of these hanging pot holders years ago, and it’s been a fantastic storage solution for my small kitchen. It’s perfect for anyone with pots, but it can be a game-changer for those, like me, who aren’t the tallest; pots are within your reach!
This Will Lower Your Stress Levels in The Kitchen
This quiche making/pie making combo is the ultimate stress-buster in the kitchen. you can get rid of those tiny pie tins you keep around for delicious breakfast quiches or holiday pies. Plus, fewer dishes used, so less mess to clean after you cook them. It’s a win all around!
Store Your Fancy China In These
My grandmother gave me her china a few years ago, and my husband and I have long struggled with where to store them safely. This has been the perfect solution to keeping such a keepsake and fragile but fancy china safe until… The Queen comes for dinner? Or whatever occasion we’re meant to pull out of China for.
Store Cleaned Fruits & Veggies
If you’re a meal prepper, these storage containers are a lifesaver! You can clean all your fruits and vegetables in bulk and then keep them in these draining containers to keep water from collecting on your counter or the shelves of your refrigerator.
Charcuterie Board With Benefits
Charcuterie is very of-the-now, and I don’t know a single person that hasn’t acquired a fancy charcuterie. Be hip and trendy and organize everything with this gorgeous charcuterie board set.
Back to Basics
No one thinks of where they’ll put their kitchen utensils, but it’s of the utmost importance if you’re short on drawers. This utensil holder has a modern and sleek design necessary for any kitchen, especially for a countertop that needs a little organizing.
A Must-Have Kitchen Gadget
Funnels! Who thinks of needing funnels until the unfortunate moment when they cannot achieve anything else without one. Need to recover some flour you knocked onto the counter? Funnels are the answer, and a set of four makes sure you’re prepared for any funnel need.
Keep Bread Fresh
A bread box might be something your grandmother had on her counter, but it’s a genius way to keep your bread fresh and keep them from any critters you may have that troll for left-out items (my cats are addicted to sliced bread).
This Cutting Board is Brilliant For Food Prep Days
If you’re a food prep person, this cutting board is for you! It’s a sturdy wooden cutting board with trays that pull out to allow you to slide the chopped ingredients right off the side. I love anything that streamlines my time in the kitchen.
When You Need Food Prep Storage Options
These glass storage containers have hinging lids for that satisfying “snap” when you shut up your perfectly prepped meals for the week. These were listed above in a larger quantity, but this quantity is ideal for anyone who meal preps for one or two.
For Homemade Sauces
My husband loves to experiment with different sauces and salad dressing flavors, but then we’re left with the option of tossing them or putting the leftovers in a mason jar that’s not easy to pour from. These glass bottles make it easy to make as many dressings as possible and store them effectively and attractively.
For the Soda Addict
Try out these drink storage trays if you find yourself with more soda than you have room for in your fridge. They’ll allow you to load up your fridge with as many sodas, sparkling waters, and adult beverages as fit in the four trays.
This Storage Container Set is Economical and Sturdy
There are forty airtight containers in this pack. Need to meal prep for the whole family? Do you like filling the freezer with homemade goods once a month? Are you always looking for the right-sized containers? This is the answer.
Keep It Tidy With This Nespresso Rack
This Nespresso rack will look like a dream on your countertop. It’s a beautiful and streamlined way to store your coffee capsules (a lot of them if you’re like me). It doesn’t take up much space, so it can stand alone or rest next to the coffee maker.
Stacking Glass Casserole Dishes
My baking dish cabinet is a disaster. Honestly, I don’t allow guests to help cook in my kitchen, mainly because its organization is still a work in progress. Stacking casserole dishes will free up space in any cabinets that might be cluttered like mine.
This Set is “Just Right” For Left Overs
Finding the right-sized containers for leftovers and carrying sauces or dressings from home to work or school is almost impossible. But fortunately, these exist, and they’re the perfect size for all of those difficult-to-store foods like baby food or condiments.
A Cute Way to Store Just About Anything
I can’t think of a cuter way to store your random foot bits than in these small mason jars. You can line these up on a shelf or the counter to beautifully display the bold colors of all your most delicious spices or to store your wet foods in after a big cookout.
Cat Food Storage
Okay, you may or may not keep your pet food in the kitchen, but I do (small house, not many places to put these things), but this is a great organizational tool! It clips onto three-ounce cans for easy storage.
Spice Storage System
This is, arguably, the most intelligent way I’ve seen to store spices in a storage-less kitchen. This is a next-level organization; it’s magnetic! These excellent spice containers magnetize to your fridge, oven hood, or even a magnetic strip you install to create more storage space.
Store Your Knives
I have a ton of stray knives at home. We’ve collected them over the years; some of them are good, and some are cheap knives we were randomly given. But no matter where they came from, this chic wooden knife holder organizes them all.
For The Cereal Lovers
I. Love. Cereal. I cannot stress enough how much cereal I eat in a week. I buy the “family size” boxes, and I eat them myself. These cereal containers? Perfect for storing and keeping safe all of my cereal needs.
French Country Kitchen Style
My mom is obsessed with these cute containers. She loves how they make her sweet Southern kitchen look like a French country kitchen. They come in various sizes for bulk storage and come with labels, so you never mix up the flour with the sugar.
Keep It Fresh
My priorities in life go like this: Cereal, coffee, husband, pets. In that order. (Maybe pets and husband switch sometimes.) Because of that, I take the storage of my coffee very seriously. I need it to stay as fresh as possible for as long as possible, so this coffee gator is essential in my house!
