A place for everything - kitchen storage made simple
1443
When planning our kitchen storage, workflow was the top priority — we wanted everything to feel intuitive and easy to reach, without overloading the space. 1. Beverage & Breakfast Station: We placed this near the kitchen entrance so we don’t need to walk all the way in just to make coffee or grab a drink. There are 3 levels of upper cabinets: * Level 1: Daily-use items like coffee, tea, Milo, milk powder, peanut butter, and honey. * Level 2: Extra stock of those same items. * Level 3: Overflow, in case we stock up more than usual. 
2. Cooking Zone: Next to the beverage station is the stove area. We intentionally keep it minimal — just one pot/pan of each type to make cleaning easier. (Easier to find also) We also skipped fancy organizers here, since we simply don’t have that much to store. 
3. Condiments & Kitchen Cleaning Supplies: Between sink & stove: * First level: Condiments and kitchen towels * Second level: Sponges, backup kitchen towels, and gloves 
4. Appliance Cabinet (Lower Zone): We set aside one bottom cabinet for rarely used appliances (think: once a week or less). Since they’re heavier, we preferred to store them low rather than in upper cabinets — safer and more practical. 
5. Multi-use Cabinet + Medications: On another side of the kitchen, we use this cabinet for mixed storage: * First level: Water bottles, thermal flasks, and containers for fruits, leftovers, or meal prep * Medications: Two closed boxes for rarely used meds — one for adults, one for kids * A small open container holds frequently used meds and supplements for easy access
