If you struggle with your kitchen towels falling out of your cupboard or maybe you don’t have any cupboard space for them? Using a basket is a great way to keep them tidy and in one space. I use baskets in my cupboard so my towels all stay in one place and don’t get shoved to the back. If you don’t have cupboard space though, it would look fine on a shelf or counter.

I would love to hear which tips you used to organize your kitchen! If you have a before and/or after picture, please share it in the comment section below.
Organization is so important in the kitchen! I think the less clutter on the countertops, the better, also minimizing where you can too.
I am working on minimizing and I love how it looks and makes me feel.
Great idea to use a basket for your towels. I don’t know why I never thought of that! Thanks!
I know. I have a lot of moments when I see new ideas and wonder how I never thought of it! 🙂
Kitchen towels in a basket is cute and functional. Our home is midcentury and the drawers are very small, so the towels don’t fit well. Thanks for the great solution!
You’re welcome. Having towels visible are also one of those things that can bring color and life to a kitchen.
Great tips! I was just telling my mom that I would help her reorganize her kitchen and I can definitely use some of these ideas! Especially the tiered basket and the magnetic knife holder. Space savers!
I love ways that I can save space. Being able to use different levels (or tiers) are a great way to do that.
I love the idea of the two tiered basket! We have so much clutter everywhere in the kitchen! I don’t think I could ever do the magnetic knife hanging. I get too nervous!
Different levels is a great way of adding space and organization. I understand the worries about the magnetic knife holder 🙂
Thanks for the tips! My pantry needs help and some of these would work for it.
Glad I could help. There are so many different organizing options for a pantry. I would love to know when you ended up doing.
I’m a minimalist so my kitchen isn’t bad…but it isn’t organized. I want a pull-down spice rack to clean up that area!
I am moving towards more minimalism but I still have a lot of purging to do! I find being organized definitely helps.
Great ideas sbout kitchen organisation, I struggle a lot in this particular room mostly because my family practically lives in the kitchen lol. the other post about toys organizing is helpful too, thanks for sharing.
We spend a lot of time in the kitchen as well which does lead to more mess. I always find that if things are organized and have a place to go, it’s easier to keep clean. Glad I was able to help.
Hreat advice! My kitchen is tiny so easy becomes a sty. I’ll have to try some of these to see if that helps.
When space is an issue, I find that it is harder to keep clean. Being organized is definitely an important part when you are limited in space
Will be using some of your tips to get my kitchen back into shape. We are starting a remodeling of our kitchen.
Remodeling is a great time to plan your organization strategy as you get to start from scratch. Good luck!
