My Kitchen Organization Essentials
Thoughtful things that help make daily life smoother, prettier, and more intentional.
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It's where we eat, talk, regroup, and reset. And I’ve learned over the years that a well-organized kitchen doesn’t just look better—it works better. These are the exact tools I use to make things feel calm, functional, and (of course) beautiful.
Nothing fussy. Nothing I don’t actually use. Just the real things that help keep daily life moving.
Modern Spice Labels (Etsy)
I use these to label all my spices, and they make the biggest difference in keeping things organized. The uniform look makes the drawer feel instantly calmer—and honestly, just prettier. It’s such a simple upgrade, but it makes everything feel more cohesive and considered.
Kitchen Towel Stand – June Home Supply
If you’re going to have a kitchen towel stand on your counter, it might as well be beautiful. This one is by far the best-looking I’ve found—simple, clean, and thoughtfully made. It turns something purely functional into a design detail.
Porcelain Egg Crate – Sur La Table
Why not make the inside of your fridge feel as considered as the outside? This porcelain egg crate is one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference. It keeps your eggs looking their best and brings a little beauty to even the most utilitarian spaces.
Outshine Extra Large Bread Box
If you don’t freeze your bread between uses, this is the perfect solution for countertop storage. It’s roomy, clean-looking, and keeps loaves fresh without cluttering the space. I love that it’s functional and pretty enough to leave out.
Reusable Bowl Covers – Farmhouse Pottery
Better than plastic wrap in every way—these are chic, functional, and endlessly reusable. I use them to cover leftovers, proof dough, or just keep things fresh in the fridge. They’re one of those small swaps that makes your kitchen feel more thoughtful and more sustainable.
Vejibag Reusable Produce Bags
I can’t live without these. I run them under cold water so they’re just barely damp, then store lettuce or other produce inside. They keep greens fresh so much longer than you'd ever expect. Truly one of the most effective and low-effort ways to cut down on food waste.
Mepal EasyClip Glass Storage Boxes – Food52
Glass storage containers for the fridge are a must—and these low-profile ones hit the spot. They stack neatly, seal tightly, and make your fridge feel instantly more organized. I love that you can see everything inside without opening a dozen lids.
Reusable Produce Containers – Amazon
I take these to the farmers market and grocery store so I never have to use plastic bags. Then they go straight from the market to the fridge—no unpacking needed. They make produce storage simple, organized, and so much more sustainable.
Stasher Silicone Reusable Bags – Crate & Barrel
A friend of mine absolutely swears by these—and now I get it. They’re great for packing kids’ snacks, storing leftovers, or resealing opened bags of chips. Durable, leakproof, and endlessly reusable, they make it so easy to cut down on plastic without sacrificing convenience.
Weck 12.5 oz. Canning Jar – Crate & Barrel
I can’t live without Weck jars. They come in multiple shapes and sizes and are good for everything. I use them throughout the pantry for grains, nuts, and dry goods, and I also keep a few without lids for pens, matches, and other little things around the house. For consistency and simplicity, this is my go-to glass jar—clean, timeless, and endlessly useful.
Expandable Bamboo Drawer Organizers – Amazon
These are perfect for anything and everything. I use them in the kitchen for utensils, in the office for pens and cords, and even in the bathroom for little essentials. If you’re trying to bring more order to your drawers (and life), these are a simple, beautiful solution that work in every space.
Makati Bin – The Container Store
This is the essential basket for me. I use them throughout the house for consistency—kitchen, pantry, bathroom, closets, even the office. They’re hand-woven, beautifully structured, and durable enough for everyday use. If you're trying to bring order to your space without sacrificing style, this is the basket I always come back to.
