If there is one thing that is a given in this day and age, it is that kitchen counters tend to get a little messy at least once a week.

After work or running errands, you toss your keys down, mail tends to pile up on one side of the counter, there’s a small collection of vitamin and supplement bottles that have claimed domain on another side, and sometimes those dishes -clean or dirty- end up spreading to our countertops.

It happens to the best of us but maybe it’s time to look into products that can keep the clutter under control so you have more space to create your best recipes.

1 - Under Cabinet/Shelf Spice Holder

Sometimes spices are stored in a cabinet, sometimes they are stored right on the counter within reach of the stovetop.

If you’ve found yourself with a good-sized collection on your counter, maybe it’s time to buy yourself a spice shelf you can install under your upper cabinets. Still within reach but out of the way so your kitchen counters stay clean and pristine. 

Amazon has one or two different types while Etsy has even more options to choose from.

2 - K-cup Organizer

Nowadays classic coffee makers are being replaced with coffee machines such as Kuerigs that require individual cups of ground coffee.

So where do you store them?

Some people opt for a basket but then you might dig around for the flavor you want. But why not opt for something that’s a little easier to organize?

With a little drawer you can pull out and a place to put your coffee maker, this makes for a great coffee station to keep it all together without taking up too much room.

3 - Hanging Fruit Basket

When you love to get bunches of apples, bananas, oranges, and other fruits but don’t want to store them on the counter think about using space under your upper cabinets.

If that doesn’t work, use wherever you can hang a basket to keep all of your fruits and other foods like potatoes and onions.

You don’t realize just how much real estate a fruit bowl on the counter can take, especially if you buy a lot of produce.

4 - Extra Large Pill Organizer/Storage

Vitamins and supplements are great for anyone who needs or wants to make sure they are getting all that they need for their body’s well-being.

However, the bottles that tend to collect over time take up far too much room.

Thankfully there are fantastic storage options that keep your vitamins all together but are easy to grab. With these containers, you can hold seven different types of supplements while keeping just one container on the counter or in the medicine cabinet.

5 - Tiered Corner Shelves

Depending on the shape of your kitchen, your counter might have a corner or two to it which is probably where a lot of clutter accumulates.

Instead, try to be intentional with a two or three-tiered corner shelf unit. Display your spices and oils or keep other cooking supplies close at hand without pushing things aside to get what you need.

As Eric O. described it:

“I First used All Organized in 2018 after seeing their product at the  Sacramento Home Show. We had them install 10 roll-out shelves in our kitchen. The roll-outs are very well constructed and they make the cabinets so much easier to access.

Since 2018 we’ve regretted that we didn’t have roll-outs installed in the rest of the kitchen cabinets. So… Yesterday they installed another 10 roll-outs to complete the kitchen. Same high-quality product. It took them about an hour to complete the installation. Excellent company to work with. Could our bathroom vanity cabinets be next?”
