Most homeowners think kitchen organization is something you do after the renovation, but that is a huge mistake.

Real kitchen organization is not about cute bins or matching labels.

It's about designing your kitchen around how you actually work.

Cooking, prepping, cleaning, unloading, packing lunches, making coffee, baking, entertaining, and grabbing snacks.

Let me say it like this.

A kitchen does not become organized because you buy organizers.

It becomes organized because every important item has a logical home near the task where it is used.

Hi, I'm Mark.

I've been designing functional kitchens for 25 years.

Organizing a kitchen after it is renovated is a mistake I see time and time again.

My goal for this video is to help you organize your kitchen before it becomes a reality.

I'll start by giving you five arguments for functional design that lead to organization.

Then five mistakes that you should avoid because they ruin your organization.

We'll look at the pros and cons of organizational focused design, and I'll answer the question,

when is kitchen organization a good idea and when is it a bad idea?

And finally, I'll give you some specific tests

that you can do in your new kitchen or even your current kitchen to assess just how functional it really is.

So let me start by describing how functional design will allow for a more organized space before you start adding bins, labels, and organizers.

Organization is all about workflow design.

It is likely obvious that a well -organized kitchen reduces unnecessary steps.

Plates near the dishwasher, pots near the range, knives, cutting boards, mixing bowls, and garbage near the prep zone, coffee supplies near the coffee maker,

and snacks and lunch supplies near the fridge and pantry.

When your kitchen layout is planned this way with intention, it allows for an easier workflow because organization starts with where things are located,

not just how they're stored or how easy they are to access.

This connects directly to professional planning guidelines as well.

The NKBA recommends protecting walkways and working aisles,

including at least 42 inches for a one -cooked kitchen and 48 inches for a multiple cook kitchen.

This matters because organization falls apart when drawers and doors and people and stools and appliances are fighting for the same space.

So start with an organized layout.

Accessibility beats capacity.

A cabinet that technically holds more is not always more functional.

Deep base cabinets with fixed shelves often create storage caves where things disappear into the back.

They are inherently harder to access even though they have lots of capacity.

And this leads to front loading a cabinet.

No one wants to be digging into the back of a cabinet for something they use daily.

So the most accessible part of the cabinet, the front, gets overloaded.

And because there is limited front space, items tend to overflow to other convenient to access places.

And before long, stuff is everywhere and every cabinet is front loaded.

A base cabinet with drawers or pullouts make contents visible from above and reduce kneeling and rummaging.

I always suggest adding more drawers to a kitchen for this very reason.

Yes, you lose some inside capacity, but you'll gain much more access, and access leads to organization.

The best storage is task -specific.

The more specific you are in the planning stage of your design, the better you can match task -specific solutions to aid in your organizational goals.

This leads you to choosing the best solutions for your needs.

For example, I recently had a client who had two narrow pullout pantries.

As great as these are, they didn't offer her the amount of storage she needed.

By combining the two pantries and installing individual pullouts, we were able to reclaim a lot of the interior capacity lost

because of excessive hardware and the two cabinet gables on the interior.

Many companies sell storage systems around specific cases.

Pullout pantries, spice pullouts, tray dividers, corner systems, drawer organizers, waste and recycle pullouts, and full extension drawers.

The product market itself confirms this principle that good organization is not a one -size -fits -all.

It's specialized storage for specific jobs.

The kitchen triangle rule applies to organization too.

Now I'm known to be a little harsh on the antiquated kitchen triangle guidelines.

See, there I go again.

But at its heart, the kitchen triangle's original aim was to reduce steps when working in the kitchen.

By having the three main task areas located in a triangle pattern with a set parameter for distance,

the kitchen becomes more ergonomic and easier to work in.

This same principle, if applied to how you plan the organization of your kitchen, will greatly affect the overall functionality.

And this is where my kitchen pyramid comes into view.

The sink, the range and fridge all need to connect to the prep zone.

This is the pinnacle of the pyramid because everything flows from the prep zone.

When your kitchen is designed this way, it will allow for greater organization in the way that you move about your kitchen.

Organization should be planned before cabinet ordering.

Some organizers can be added later, but many of the most useful ones need to be designed into the cabinet plan.

Trash recycling pullouts, tray dividers, deep drawer cabinets, appliance grudges, blind corner systems, spice pullouts, pantry pullouts.

Once your layout is designed to allow for organization, move on to these individual cabinets.

Most people skip this step as it seems tedious or unknowable.

Like, how am I supposed to know where everything is going to go?

But that's just the point.

If you plan where everything goes and organize it according to your cabinet choices, you won't be confused about where things go.

You'll already have a plan.

If you want my help designing a functional and well -organized kitchen,

please click the link in the description below and book a one -on -one consultation with me.

I'd love to help.

Let's look at some of the biggest misconceptions and mistakes surrounding kitchen organization.

Misconception number one, more cabinets means more organization.

More storage can just mean more places for a mess.

A kitchen with fewer but better planned drawers, pantries, and pullouts can function much better than a kitchen that's packed with lots of cabinets.

This doesn't mean that large kitchens can't be organized.

It just means that largeness is not the deciding factor.

The size of your kitchen has little to do with it.

Designing an organized kitchen, big or small, is how you end up with an organized kitchen that's big or small.

It's all in the planning.

Misconception number two organization is about containers.

Containers and bins and organizers all help but they are the final layer, the icing on the cake.

The real order should be your layout, your zones, your cabinet type, accessories and then your bins, containers and organizers.

Most homeowners start at the end but containers can make a mess of your kitchen

because they might solve a problem you don't even have.

Just because you've seen it on Pinterest does not mean it's right for you.

Make sure the solution is solving a problem you actually have.

Misconception number three, deep drawers are always better.

Now, I realize I previously said that drawers are the answer, but it's a little more nuanced than that.

Deep drawers are great for pots, pans, dishes, mixing bowls, small appliances,

and pantry items, but they can become junk drawers if the homeowner uses them for small, loose items.

An organized kitchen will likely have a mixture of deep and shallow drawers of varying widths.

Be careful with narrow deep drawers as

they lend themselves to smaller items and you'll end up digging around in those more than you'd like to be.

I always recommend at least one four drawer cabinet close to a range for cutlery, utensils, and gadgets or other smaller items needed when cooking.

100

Misconception number four, a lazy Susan fixes the corner.

101

Now this is me you're listening to.

102

Do you really think that I'd let the corner get off that easily.

103

I despise most corner solutions, but I'm also quite aware that some corner solutions are useful some of the time.

104

A lazy Susan can be useful, but should never be the gold standard.

105

A Le Mans system could be great for a blind corner as it improves access with independently moving shelves,

106

but it still requires specific cabinet dimensions, hardware, installation, and budget.

107

There's lots of options out there.

108

You just need to research the one that fits your needs.

109

And be aware that sometimes designers will just throw lazy Susan in there and be done with it.

110

That's a huge mistake.

111

Select a corner accessory that helps keep the corner organized.

112

Misconception number five, the pantry should just hold food.

113

A cabinet pantry has lots of potential to improve the overall organizational function of your kitchen.

114

You just have to think beyond food storage.

115

A functional pantry can also hold small appliances, baking supplies, lunch making items, paper goods, overflow dishes, coffee supplies, bulk purchases.

116

A pantry should support the daily needs of the homeowners working in the kitchen.

117

And yes, it stores food, but a well -planned pantry can offer so much more.

118

Because many people leave organization until after the kitchen is complete,

119

I wanted to share what I think are the pros and cons of organization -focused design.

120

Better organization can reduce walking, bending, searching, duplicate purchases, counter clutter, just daily frustration.

121

It can also make the kitchen easier to use long term.

122

as homeowners age.

123

Drawers, pull -outs, lower -dish storage, and full -extension pantry systems can reduce bending, lifting, and reaching.

124

Bloom, for example, specifically frames ergonomic cabinet design as protecting the back and the joints.

125

It's a great idea when the homeowner has clear daily routines, cooking every night, baking, packing lunches, making coffee, entertaining, gardening, canning,

126

meal prepping, or needing the kids to access certain items independently.

127

It's also especially valuable in small kitchens.

128

Small kitchens cannot afford dead zones, buried storage, or decorative storage that really doesn't work.

129

But organization upgrades can get expensive fast.

130

Hardware -heavy systems like blind corner pullouts, pantry pullouts, and specialty organizers often cost significantly more than basic shelves or even pullout shelves.

131

It's likely that these are not automatically added to your cabinet quote.

132

Most accessories like this are added later with a change to the price, greatly affecting your budget.

133

They can also reduce raw cubic capacity because hardware takes up space.

134

It's important to be specific with the accessible hardware that you choose and balance it with the overall capacity that you need.

135

Some organizers are too specific.

136

A wall spice pullout is great if you cook often and keep spices in that space,

137

but it's often wasted space if you buy oversized containers or prefer spices in a drawer.

138

Or a tray divider is excellent for baking sheets and cutting boards,

139

but it can be useless for the homeowner who only has one baking sheet, like me.

140

Not everyone needs space for 35 baking sheets.

141

It becomes a bad idea when the homeowner spends money on organizers before solving the layout issues.

142

A $700 pullout does not fix a fridge in the wrong location, or a dishwasher blocking the sink,

143

or an island aisle that doesn't have enough clearance.

144

It's also a bad idea when the storage is designed around fantasy habits instead of real habits.

145

For example, we'll keep the counters clear by putting the toaster in a cabinet.

146

Maybe, but if you use the toaster every morning, the toaster might end up living on the countertop anyway.

147

It's also bad when the organizer is chosen because it looks satisfying online or in an ad, not because it actually supports a real task.

148

So while I absolutely think that you should prioritize organization,

149

please be aware of the impact on budget and overall capacity that some of these solutions can have.

150

Now I want to give you some tests that you can perform on your current or planned kitchen.

151

These will be helpful in deciding if you have any hope at your kitchen being organized.

152

Test number one, the dishwasher unload test.

153

Can I unload the dishwasher without walking across the kitchen?

154

The items you use daily, the most frequently, such as plates and bowls, glasses and cutlery, should be stored close to the dishwasher.

155

Since unloading the dishwasher is the task you are solving for, it's vital that it not be a scattered event.

156

Now we all know that there will be a little bit of travel,

157

so aim for a high majority of your daily items to be within a step of your dishwasher.

158

Test two, the spaghetti test.

159

Can I make spaghetti without crossing kitchen traffic?

160

You need pasta, pot, water, sink, a range, sauce, spoon, a colander, some veggies, the trash, a serving bowl.

161

If those items are scattered everywhere, the kitchen could be technically organized but functionally broken.

162

Remember, organization is as much about workflow as it is the individual cabinets.

163

But the spaghetti test is more for analyzing traffic patterns in and through your kitchen.

164

You'll want to approach your design with the idea of protecting your prep

165

and cooking zones against everyone in your house needing to be in that same space when you're making spaghetti.

166

Clusters of people in one zone is an organizational nightmare.

167

Test number three, the packing lunch test.

168

This test is especially useful for families with school -aged kids

169

and works best if they are helping you because this puts more people into the kitchen.

170

Figuring out how your kitchen deals with more people is important.

171

Are wraps, containers, snacks, lunch bags, water bottles, and kid accessible items located so that they allow for a fun family bonding experience?

172

Or do you just want to strangle everybody because they're all in your way?

173

If they're in the way, it might not be them.

174

It could be your kitchen.

175

The lunch packing test is really seeing if you have a kitchen with proper clearances and suitable prep space.

176

Kitchens aren't just for making dinner.

177

An organized kitchen will help with all the food -related tasks.

178

Test four, the baking center test.

179

The baking zone might include mixing bowls, measuring cups, a mixer, baking sheets, parchment, flour, sugar, and cooling racks.

180

If you bake a lot, this test will be important, especially if your kitchen cannot afford a dedicated baking center.

181

Your regular prep area will likely be your baking center.

182

So does your baking area actually support baking?

183

The baking center test is trying to decide if there is enough crossover storage capacity for specific use cases.

184

It could be canning, or it could be dehydrating, or it could be baking.

185

These tasks will all have specific items related to them.

186

So if you plan on these activities, be sure to run this test to make sure you have ample room and access to these extra items.

187

Test 5, the small appliance graveyard test.

188

Right now, in this moment, think about where all your small appliances are stored.

189

Maybe you can see them from where you're sitting watching this video.

190

Are they on the countertop, in an appliance garage, in the back of some base cabinet, or even worse, a corner?

191

If small appliances are stored in deep lower cabinets with fixed shelves, they often become too annoying to use.

192

So they end up on the countertop exactly what you were trying to avoid.

193

A deep drawer, an appliance lift, a pantry shelf or dedicated appliance cabinet can make them more usable.

194

However, for this test, it's also important to realize the frequency of use.

195

Daily appliances should be accessible without much resistance.

196

Seldom used appliances still need a home, but not in prime real estate.

197

This test is all about frequency and whether the small appliances are stored where they're needed the most.

198

Test number six, the corner cabinet test.

199

If you are set on having a corner cabinet, test it.

200

Can I reach items easily?

201

Can I see what's inside?

202

Does it match how often I use the items?

203

Does it avoid collisions?

204

Can it handle the weight?

205

Is it worth the price?

206

And would blocking it off improve the kitchen?

207

Score each of those seven out of five, and if your score adds up to 30 or above, you likely have a great solution.

208

If it scores under 15, you definitely do not need to do anything with that corner except burn it.

209

If it's anywhere in the middle, you're likely just better off blocking it off than fooling around with some corner storage solution.

210

Test number seven is the trash placement test.

211

Trash should be near the prep and cleanup, not randomly placed wherever

212

there is a leftover cabinet space a pull -out trash recycling cabinet can be one of the highest functioning organizers

213

because it supports daily prep and cleanup.

214

Does your trash placement support this function or is it located where it promotes a commotion around the working zone?

215

Trash cabinets are like fridges to me.

216

Everyone needs to access them, not just the cook.

217

So it should be placed so that it does not create more congestion for the prep and the cooking tasks.

218

Remember, the best time to organize your kitchen is before you have a kitchen to organize.

219

I hope this was helpful.
