Let’s face it—nobody has the time to constantly clean up messes. So, why not put measures in place to prevent messes from even happening at all? That’s what organization is all about. And, honestly, a majority of messes take place in the kitchen, which means it’s the absolute best place to keep organized.
When it comes to organization, the sky’s the limit. You can organize absolutely anything. That drawer full of junk? Organize it. The fridge? Organize it. The Tupperware drawer? You guessed it—organize it. Once you’re ready to dive in, take a look at these helpful tips to organize your food storage containers with finesse.
- Store Lids Vertically
To save even more space in your Tupperware cabinet or drawer, store lids vertically instead of horizontally. Not only will this method make a compact storage space, but it will also make grabbing your Tupperware so much easier. Having a designated space for vertically-stored lids means no more digging through lids to find just the right one that matches the container you picked out. Each lid will be displayed clearly so you can choose the perfect one on your first try without making a mess of your space.
To store lids vertically, you can use a number of storage solutions. You can DIY your own lid holder or even buy a storage solution from your nearest big box store or organization store. There are even plenty of non-DIY options on the internet.
- Stack Containers
Whether you have tons of space for storage in your home or a measly amount in your small kitchen, you should utilize stacking methods to best organize your food containers. Stacking the containers, or nesting together ones that fit, saves space and also creates a seamless solution that will allow you to easily grab what you need when you need it. No more shuffling through drawers or digging through bins to find the right Tupperware!
If you have enough space, create stacks of containers that are the same size and store them side by side so that you can easily grab the right size needed. If storage space is an issue, you can always nest the smaller containers in the larger ones. Just make sure it’s easy to see which size is which so you can quickly grab the one you need when the time comes.
