A home-organization expert shares 10 practical principles to create a functional, maintainable kitchen. Key tips include reducing duplicate utensils, tackling one drawer at a time, and prioritizing mug and tumbler (water bottle) storage. Use a lazy Susan (rotating tray) to access corner items, add dividers for miscellaneous drawers, and avoid impulse transferring of snacks into new containers that can reduce freshness. Store items by frequency of use—everyday appliances on the counter, occasional tools in cabinets—and spend five minutes daily tidying the workspace. Organize cabinets by zones (prep, cook, clean, store, serve), and treat open shelves as display areas for visually tidy or often-used pieces. The expert emphasizes that lasting order comes from creating systems for upkeep, not just throwing things away.
