Spring cleaning season is here!

5 simple steps to transform your cluttered drawers into a perfectly organised kitchen!

Updated: 26/02/2025 by Marie

Are you excited for spring? The days are finally getting longer, the weather is warming up, and the sun is streaming beautifully through the windows – isn’t it wonderful?

But that same sunlight also reveals the spots we may have overlooked during the darker months – dust, crumbs, and hidden clutter we’d rather not see.

That means it’s time for a spring clean! And where better to start than in the space we love the most? For many of us, that’s the kitchen.

After all, they say, “The best parties always happen in the kitchen.” 😀

With our 5 expert tips, you’ll create a kitchen organisation system that actually lasts – bringing you joy, order, and a clutter-free space for good.

Step 1: Declutter and make space

Time for a ruthless declutter! The best approach? Take it one cupboard and one drawer at a time. Empty everything out and place it somewhere visible.

That was the easy part. Now comes the tricky bit – letting go.

Ask yourself:

When was the last time I used this?

Is it broken?

Does it still look good, or has it seen better days?

Be honest with yourself! If you don’t need it, someone else might. Donate or give items away before resorting to the bin. And if something is beyond saving, dispose of it responsibly. This way, you're clearing space for what truly matters – in a smart, sustainable way.

Now, give your drawers and cupboards a proper clean – and just like that, you’ve taken the first step. And we all know, getting started is always the hardest part!

Step 2: A fresh start for your drawers

Now that you’ve taken stock of everything – from cutlery and knives to pantry items and kitchen gadgets – it’s time to give them a proper, clean home.

To keep your newly organised drawers in perfect order, we recommend lining them with a non-slip mat. This stops items from sliding around and protects your drawers from scratches and wear.

When choosing a mat, go for one that’s easy to clean and high-quality. There’s no point in getting one that discolours or stains after a few weeks – you don’t want to start the whole cleaning process all over again.

After all, you want to enjoy cooking in your kitchen, not spend your time constantly reorganising it. Better to do it right once, don’t you think?

And if your non-slip mat is stylish too, tidying up suddenly becomes a whole lot more satisfying.

Step 3: Create a practical system

You've decluttered and kept only the essentials in great condition. Your drawers are spotless and lined with a sleek, stylish mat.

Now it's time to give your kitchen tools a proper home – arranged in a way that keeps them within easy reach and makes your life simpler.

Where possible, store cutlery close to the dishwasher and dining table for quick access.

Invest in drawer inserts that not only look good but also feel premium. Cheap plastic scratches easily and quickly loses its appeal. As our grandmothers wisely say, “Buy cheap, buy twice!” 😀 And let’s be honest – they’re usually right!

Because let’s face it, an organised kitchen is far more satisfying when everything looks as good as it functions – both inside and out.

Step 4: Categorise and organise

Here’s a simple but effective trick: sort your kitchen tools based on how often you use them. Cutlery like knives, forks, spoons, and teaspoons? They’re used multiple times a day. Cooking utensils? Mostly needed when preparing meals. As simple as that! 😉

If space allows, organise your drawers by category: a dedicated pantry drawer for dry goods, a cooking utensil drawer near the hob, and your cutlery drawer conveniently placed near the dishwasher. This setup keeps your workflow smooth and your kitchen effortlessly tidy.

When arranging your cutlery, line them up neatly – knives next to forks and spoons. In the utensil drawer, group cooking spoons by size and function, and keep smaller tools like peelers and paring knives together.

This way, everything stays in order and is always within reach.

Pro tip: If you pre-sort your cutlery in the dishwasher – spoons with spoons, forks with forks – unloading becomes much quicker!

Step 5: The finishing touch

Let’s be honest – this is the step most people forget. But trust us, it’s a game-changer!

Now that everything is sparkling clean, stylish, and neatly arranged, there’s just one last issue to tackle:

The never-ending battle with cling film…

Sound familiar? You can never find the end of the roll, the packaging always looks messy, and those flimsy tear-off edges? A total nightmare. Worst case, you even end up with a cut finger – and still no perfectly cut piece of film.

Time to put an end to the chaos! Our innovative foil dispenser ensures that even your last kitchen drawer stays effortlessly tidy.
