10+ IDEAS FOR YOUR MOST ORGANIZED KITCHEN DESIGN
Keeping your kitchen organized can be challenging, but staying tidy isn’t as difficult as it seems. With the proper shelving, functional storage, and a thought-out plan of attack, your kitchen can transform into a space that is simultaneously clutter-free and stylish.
From trendy storage solutions to space-saving techniques, gather organization tips and inspiration as you admire the 10-plus orderly kitchens below.
EMBRACE ACCENTS FOR BOTH FUNCTION AND FORM
A simple tray can do wonders for your kitchen when it comes to keeping organized. Instead of scattering items across your kitchen countertops — cream and sugar, fruit, mail — a decorative tray can create a sense of structure. You can even match the tray to your modern kitchen faucet, like in this photo with a matte brushed gold kitchen faucet.
OPTIMIZE YOUR KITCHEN ISLAND
Sitting at the center of the room, well-designed islands often serve as the focal point of the kitchen. The kitchen island should be beautiful, as well as functional for cooking, cleaning, and gathering.
The key to optimizing your kitchen island is to make sure that it is kept organized and clean on a daily basis. It should also be home to the items that are most important in your kitchen to allow for faster cooking and cleaning. Keep in mind that when you have guests over, they are likely to stand around the kitchen island and that may impact your kitchen layout.
DECORATE WITH FLOATING SHELVES
Gorgeous open shelving is a great way to store dishes neatly and display decorative plates. Although floating shelves can be difficult to keep clean, they look beautiful when done properly. Open shelving, especially deep raw wood shelves, pair well in modern, minimalist, or vintage kitchen designs.
Hang floating shelves near the kitchen sink for faster and easier dishwashing. In this kitchen design, light wood shelving is placed on each side of the matte black kitchen faucet and the undermount stainless steel sink.
MIX AND MATCH CABINETRY
Opt for cabinets in varying sizes — deep drawers, wide doors, slim nooks — to make it easier to store cookware based on their shape, size, and type. Not only are you optimizing your storage, but you're also creating targeted zones for specific items.
DISPLAY DISHWARE WITH A GLASS-ENCLOSED ARMOIRE
For those with stylish dishware, a glass-enclosed armoire is a great way to display your collection. It provides expanded storage and looks great at the same time.
Look beyond the Parsons Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with a deck plate in matte brushed gold and Matte Stone™ apron front kitchen sink from VIGO and you will spot a beautiful glass armoire full of elegant dishware.
CREATE SEPARATE ZONES
This modern interior designed by Covelle & Company has an open-concept design with two distinct zones: the kitchen area and dining room. The lowered ceiling effortlessly separates these two zones way to maintain a natural room flow.
PLAY WITH LIGHTING
Lighting can help make a space feel larger, as in this open-concept interior with LED flush mounts. This airy space accommodates an oversized kitchen with black cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a white kitchen island with bar stools. Besides the kitchen is a modern living room with a fireplace. To ensure a space feels organized, it’s important to ensure there’s a natural flow to your open-concept layout.
GET CREATIVE WITH STORAGE CABINETS
In this beautiful kitchen, storage is located around the doorway for additional cabinet space. Use a mix of small, medium, and large drawers and cabinets to ensure you have enough small to accommodate everything needed.
BE THOUGHTFUL WITH DECOR
Embracing decorative items doesn’t have to translate to clutter. Beautiful spice coasters and cutting boards add charm to your kitchen while also keeping important necessities nearby. Use vases or plants to elevate your kitchen countertop without overcrowding the surface by ensuring you leave ample space to cook and clean.
The Edison Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in matte black beautifully complements this contemporary kitchen design.
CREATE THE ILLUSION OF MORE SPACE
Whether it’s with cabinetry, floors, ceilings, or countertops, a white color palette can help to visually enlarge your kitchen design. Gold features, such as a matte brushed gold faucet for the kitchen, and wood accents pair well with an all-white kitchen.
USE STORAGE BOXES
This kitchen features small storage boxes that are great for spices, utensils, and food items. Instead of digging in large drawers or cabinets, small bins and boxes can help you quickly find exactly what you need.
When creating a practical and organized kitchen, kitchen faucets from VIGO are a great way to complete the look. Beautiful minimalistic shapes will brighten up any kitchen and highlight your unique style, while also providing exceptional function for easier cooking and cleaning.
