What Goes Where in the Kitchen: The Basics
Keep kitchen equipment near the place it will normally be used, e.g., pots and pans close to the stove, knives by the work surface.
Are you left- or right-handed? Place frequently used items on the more convenient side of the stove, sink, or work surface so you can grab them easily.
When organizing your cupboards, position heavy things below the counters and lighter things above them.
Keep like items together (such as all bowls in one cabinet and all baking pans in another). That way you'll always go to the right place first.
Appliances and pots that are used only once or twice a year should not occupy valuable real estate. Store them in an out-of-the-way cupboard, the garage, or the attic.
