Use hooks to store your pans. It’s a lot easier than pulling them out of drawers and cabinets, getting the handles stuck on the way. You can plan for this when you’re designing your smart kitchen, or simply add a piece of wood to your wall and attach some hooks.

Store Spice Bottles In Drawers

It’s very tempting to keep your spices spread out over the countertop, but you’ll find that keeping them in a drawer or open shelves might prove more convenient. Lay them out on their sides, and you’ll find it much easier to spot which is what and use dividers for better organization.
