These Are the 5 Best Kitchen Organization Tools on Amazon, According to a Professional Organizer

Whether you’re trying to prioritize flow, decrease stress, or just make your space look sleeker, organization is key. Keeping a planner? Great. Actually folding your clean clothes and putting them away? Power move. But when it comes to the kitchen, getting organized is even more essential. No cook wants to navigate spice bottles in disarray, pots and pans precariously stacked on a shelf, and a fridge full of random bottles, cans, and condiments. 

“The kitchen is the center of most homes, and whether or not it functions well can impact how your mornings start!” says Ashley La Fond, founder of home organization company Of Space & Mind, whose kitchen organization plan begins with getting rid of everything that’s taking up space that you’re not currently using. “Once you’ve edited, create a space plan, prioritizing the most accessible space (usually at eye level) for things you reach for daily,” she explains. “Focus on how you use an item (and how often) when considering where to store it.” 

Then, it’s time to organize. We asked La Fond to recommend her favorite kitchen organization tools at Amazon. Here’s what she said.

YouCopia StoreMore Expandable Pan and Lid Rack

This expandable rack goes from 12.5 inches to 22 inches, meaning you can easily fit it into most counter or cabinet spaces; and with 10 adjustable dividers, all your pots, pans, plates, and more can fit snugly. “This rack has so many uses in a kitchen. We use these for pots and pans, baking trays, and even pot lids,” La Fond says. “It expands, so it works in most spaces and allows you to organize items vertically to maximize space in cabinets and drawers.”

Lifewit Stackable Bottle Organizer

This stackable organizer can hold everything from water bottles and wine bottles to sodas and juices. “Water bottles and reusable cups are some of the biggest culprits for kitchen clutter. Add this lid organizer to hold all your lids,” La Fond recommends.

mDesign Large Expandable Plastic Rack

“We love tiered racks in cabinets so that items are easy to reach. They’re perfect for spices and condiments. This [plastic rack] expands to fit your space,” La Fond says. With three tiers of shelving, this shelf can grow from 16.75 inches wide up to 32 inches wide, allowing space for plenty of spices.

iDesign Kitchen Turntable

La Fond recommends adding turntables to maximize storage space and reachability. “The best way to utilize awkward corners and small cabinets is to add a turntable,” she says. “Perfect for a pantry or in cabinets for oils and spices, they keep items accessible and easy to see.” This pack comes with a pair of transparent turntables that are 11 inches wide each.

Refrigerator organizers can be game-changers, especially if you love keeping a bunch of loose cans, condiments, sauces, or smaller bits of produce around — but they’re also great for organizing pantry items. These particular organizers are stackable, meaning you can make the most of your vertical space. “If you have deep shelves or cabinets, things easily get lost or are hard to reach. Using bins that fit your depth means you’re using all of your space,” La Fond says. “Deep bins are not widely available, so we use these ones all the time in deep pantries, kids’ dish drawers, and in cabinets.”
