A big part of keeping any room organized is having a dedicated place for items to go. Investing in good storage solutions will help you keep everything in its place (while helping you keep your sanity). Once a year, have a good kitchen clean-out session. As you might do with clothes in your closet, give away any equipment you haven’t used in a year or two and toss any old food from the pantry.

What we love about this utensil container is that it looks great on the countertop while storing your most-used tools. Unlike many canisters that might allow your tongs, whisks, and spatulas to get tangled, the design here allows utensils a little more breathing room while still keeping them organized and contained in one place.

Wet dishes deserve a place to dry, and we love this one for its innovative drainage spout that lets water drip right back into the sink. It also has a designated place for every type of dish—from plates to utensils to wine glasses—so you don't have to hand dry them ever again.
