Clever Pot and Pan Organization Solutions.
Well… we are house hunting again and the house we’re most interested in has a very small old galley style kitchen. So I’m trying to think of ways to make it work (the whole house is much smaller than anything we’ve ever lived in before). I’ve been looking at kitchen organizing ideas on Pinterest and thought I’d share a few ideas with you. Today I have 10 Tips for Organizing Pots and Pans!

10 Awesome Tips for Organizing Pots and Pans
We all know how much pots and pans can take over our kitchen cabinets. Because of their sheer size, they can take up a lot of space rather quickly. But, I am thankful that there are actually of plenty of ways you can make adjustments so they fit better. Take a look at these tips so you can have your kitchen in perfect order in no time.
- Get creative. You don’t have to strictly stick pots and pans in one cabinet. You could hang them, use an island or baker’s rack, put them in your pantry, or transform a drawer into the perfect spot to house them. Be creative and think outside the box a little bit to come up with ideas for your space.
- Donate or throw out items you don’t use. If you have a bunch of pots and pans that you haven’t used for years, are they really worth keeping around? It’s not worth it spending time organizing pots and pans you won’t use. If you don’t want to get rid of them, you could at least box them up and put them in a room where they are out of the way. Then your cabinet will be full of pans you use on a regular basis.
- Keep it organized. If you just toss the pans in and don’t keep any type of organization the cabinets are going to fill up quickly. This will cause a lot of frustration when you are trying to grab something you need while cooking. Save your sanity and keep it organized all the time.

Some great ideas that I really need, too! Why are you house hunting again already?
Manuela Williams says
We’re in a rental and it was always our intention to buy another house. Although our lease is up in October our landlord is letting us break the lease early because he’d rather look for a tenant in the summer than in the winter.

Fabulous ideas Manuela! I’ve seen that last organizer many times and have always admired it. It’s a bit pricey, but a great investment. We installed pull our shelves which have been a life saver. Highly recommend them.
