1. Keep It Clutter-Free

There are many storage solutions that come with your apartment pending the floor plan you choose, but most of them include an island and sufficient cabinet spaces. Increase your storage capacity by using tiered cabinet shelves, under the sink basket storage, or stackable cabinet organizers. Keeping things clutter-free will help maintain a cohesive look and be functional at the same time.

2. Take Inventory

Your fridge drawers shouldn’t be for science experiments. Consider utilizing drawers for items that last longer, like condiments, and putting quick-to-expire produce in the door or the shelf in your fridge you see first. That way your perishables are front and center! We also recommend dissolvable food storage labels to quickly identify what should be in your fridge and what shouldn’t. That way you can always ensure you are using the freshest ingredients or keeping your grocery list up to date.

3. Multi-Functional Appliances

Opting for smaller, space-saving appliances that have multiple functions means cleaner counters and more space saving. For example, a combination toaster and air fryer can perform multiple functions and save you precious countertop real estate.

4. Designate Zones

Do you make coffee every morning or your toast in the same spot every day? Creating dedicated areas for cooking, baking, and coffee-making creates designated zones for different activities. Having a specific place for everything helps you reduce clutter, keep your kitchen more efficient and saves you time and effort in the long run.


The key to creating your dream kitchen in your apartment is prioritizing functionality, choosing multi-purpose solutions, and getting creative with storage solutions that can cater to the unique floorplans of apartment living. With thoughtful organization and commitment to keeping only what you truly need, you can have both an efficient and stylish space to host, practice your sourdough skills, or create gourmet experiences.
