Room to improve: 5 fast steps to an organised kitchen

"Organised" is not a word I can relate to. 

However I do strive towards achieving it every day. My good intentions start when, each night, I set my morning alarm half an hour early and ends when, fumbling, I hit the snooze button each morning. You could say that I am verging on organised for those sixish (broken) hours of sleep. The hours when my cohabitants and I are unconscious and therefore not wrecking the place. Oh but I want to be organised... 5 Fast Steps to an Organised Kitchen Step 1: Access in the fridge Using a wire or folding shelf makes better use of those taller spaces in the fridge, while a turning wheel gives easy access to the condiments that would otherwise languish in the back there until they started to grow penicillin.

The tension rod also makes a handy rail for under sink storage.
