Is your kitchen feeling cluttered and chaotic? It’s time to whisk away the clutter and start taking control. Organizing doesn’t have to be overwhelming — with a simple sorting system, you can create a space that’s both functional and enjoyable. Let’s get your kitchen working for you!

At Organizing CU, we believe that a clutter-free kitchen starts with simple, intentional sorting—making room for what you use every day and letting go of what no longer serves you.

When organizing the kitchen, I start by pulling everything out and sorting it into three groups: “A” for everyday essentials, “B” for occasional use, and “C” for donate or store away. Trust me, you’ll find plenty to donate that you forgot you even had!

Your “A” group is your go-to stuff: plates, cups, and favorite pots.

Remember, some items in the same category might fall into different groups—fancy China is probably “C,” while your everyday dishes are “A.” Same with cups: regular ones might be “A,” champagne glasses “B.”

Next, assign spaces: “A” items go where they’re easy to reach—like lower upper cabinets.

“B” items fit on higher shelves that require a stretch.

“C” items get tucked away in less-used spots—like the bottom of the pantry or a dining room shelf. (Personally, I stash big appliances and fancy serving dishes there)

Bonus tip for parents: keep kid stuff in a bin at their height (like bowls, plates, sippy cups) so they can grab what they need and help put things away.

Your kitchen is the heart of your home so let’s transform it into a place that inspires and supports the life you love every day.
