Organizing your kitchen can be as easy as hanging and stacking items that were previously strewn about at random. Use the tips below to keep your small kitchen looking snazzy, and a little effort will go a long way toward making your kitchen a great place to cook.

Baskets for Beauty
 
Conceal clutter and get organized by using baskets for storing small items out of sight. This one occupies an open shelf in the base of a kitchen island, adding texture and style while serving as functional storage.

Declutter with an Appliance Garage
 
The less clutter on countertops, the more spacious your kitchen will appear. Create a storage space between upper and lower cabinets by adding doors, and use the cubby for hiding small appliances. Include an electrical outlet at the back of the cabinet for convenience.

Shelves for Storage and Display
 
Open shelves and white cabinetry keep the look airy in this kitchen corner. White and clear-glass dishware creates a pretty display — and is easily accessible.

Shelves that pull out can help maximize your storage space by making it more accessible. Instead of struggling to take out or maneuver around three rows of glasses or bowls every time you want access to an item at back of a cabinet, make it easy for yourself: have the shelf come to you with a convenient pull-out arrangement.

Extended Viewing
 
A false wall behind pantry cabinets nudges the units forward, making a freestanding refrigerator look like an expensive built-in. Beside the fridge, built-in shelves provide easily accessible storage in an almost-hidden niche.

Wine Rack Storage Ideas
 
Replace an enclosed cabinet above the refrigerator with a wine rack. Not into wine? The cubes can hold mineral-water, juice, or other bottles for a splash of color.

Wire Storage Baskets
 
Increase the storage capacity of kitchen cabinets by installing pullout wire organizers. The shelves shown here fit around plumbing beneath the sink, maximizing storage and bringing cabinet contents into the light. (via: www.kitchenbathideas.com)
