Kitchen Sink Cabinet Organization.

It’s amazing what an organized kitchen sink cabinet can do for the soul! The cupboard under our sink has given me so much anxiety over the past year – to the point that I found myself even avoiding eye contactl! Not kidding.. lately I’d been putting things away in it without even looking so I wouldn’t see the mess LOL. So I decided it would be one of the first organization projects I tackled in the new year – and I’m so happy with the way it turned out! All it took to get this space cleaned up was a couple of organizing tools, a few white towels and about 45 mins of my time! Let me show you what I did.. but first take a look at this ‘BEFORE’ photo… YIKES, right?!

As I was trying to decide how to write this post in a way that would be useful to you, I had the idea to write it as a little step-by-step guide. Just four easy steps to transform the mess under your sink to a space you’re proud of and eager to use!

How to Organize Under Your Kitchen Sink

Step 1: Take everything out and wipe down the cupboard. Use a vacuum to pick up all of the little dirt particles and then give it a good wipe down with a rag and spray cleaner.

Step 2: Assess what you have, set aside what you want to keep and get rid of everything you don’t need. What you should have left is a manageable number of items to work with. If not, do it again.. you don’t need everything but the kitchen sink under your kitchen sink 😉

Step 3: Decide what you want to add and organize with. In my case, I knew I wanted a couple sets of drawers to hold towels, sponges and dishwasher pods. Clear or see-through vessels are ideal because they allow you to see how much you have left of something and when to add something to your shopping list. Additionally, I decided I wanted to completely start over with our kitchen towels/rags, so I ordered some plane white bar mops and microfiber cloths. Lastly, I had the idea to store our cleaning supplies on a lazy suzan to eliminate the need to pick bottles up in order to see what they were. I love how functional it made it!

Step 4: Have fun with organizing! Now that you have everything sorted through and your vessels are ready for filling it’s time for the fun part – putting it all back together! This is where the transformation occurs and if you play your cards right you’ll be so pleased with the results! Not even kidding, sometimes I still go over to this cabinet and open it up just because it gives me so much satisfaction to see it everything organized and neat….. does that make me weird?! 😀
