The kitchen is often one of the most cluttered areas in your home, especially with cookware, gadgets, and appliances everywhere. While meal prep can be messy, your kitchen doesn’t have to be. A Real Simple shopping editor chatted with a professional organizer about the best storage solutions, with picks starting at $10.
Your first organizing task is to declutter by moving items that collect dust from frequently-used spots. Morgan Tyree, a professional organizer and founder of Morganize with Me, says this helps free up valuable cabinet space. Once you have a clean foundation, it’s time to add organizers. Tyree says the goal should be to maximize any space by filling your countertops, pantry, and more.
Vtopmart Clear Stackable Storage Bins are available on Amazon for $34. You can get them for $25 at Amazon. If you’re having trouble keeping snacks, canned goods, and grains organized in the pantry, these acrylic storage bins with a clear look are a great option. Tyree approves of them. Similar styles create a more cohesive look and stack or nest better together. This set makes it easy to achieve that goal as the bins have identical shapes and a transparent design. They are deep enough to store large pantry staples and come with lids for stacking. However, you can also store them within each other without the removable top.
