Welcome to Kitchen Organization Ideas Part 2! If you missed Part 1, you can see it here. I am sharing a series of blog posts with home organization as the focus. We are starting in the kitchen and will work our way around the home. If you don’t like organizing, my hope is that once we’ve finished our series, you love it!
Today, we continue with kitchen organization ideas to help you have a beautiful, functional, organized kitchen!

Dish Organization
Here are some ideas to help you store and organize your dishes.
Keep them organized by category…. daily use dishes, paper goods and special occasion. I keep my daily use dishes in a glass display cupboard next to our stove for easy accessibility. Unbreakable dishes are stored lower in a drawer for the kids to grab. Consider designating a drawer or cabinet for your disposable dishes. Use drawer dividers to keep your drawer organized and neat.
Use this gold dish rack to organize your nicer paper plates and napkins. It makes it so easy to see what you have and lets you enjoy all of the pretty patterns.
Keep you fancier dishes stored separately. If you have the space, store them in your kitchen. I have mine in drawers under my serve ware. If you don’t have space in your kitchen or dining room, try using these dish storage boxes and store them in a closet or garage.

Flatware Organization
I touched on this a little in Part 1. The same tip applies with your flatware as with your dishes, keep your flatware organized by category. Keep daily flatware together and fancier flatware together. Try using these mesh utensil organizers to organize your flatware. I love how the crumbs can fall to the bottom allowing you to pick them up and vacuum them out. This is my favorite mini vacuum to clean out my drawers.
Here is a close up of the flatware I have. The middle two are my everyday flatware (Laguiole Cream and Gold flatware with a bee emblem and the silver and gold Bee Flatware). Both can be thrown in the dishwasher and are not only stunning, they are durable.
The others are my fancier flatware. They can all be tossed in the dishwasher except the first one. These are my tried and true, favorite sets.
