How should I arrange my cabinets?
Question:
Answers:
Arrange them according to "point of use". For instance, if your prep area for food is on the left of the sink, use wall cabinets on that side to store food items -- it's sensible to have that on the same side as the refrigerator. You would also want cutting boards and knife drawers or blocks to be in the same general area. You would want pots and pans closest to your stove. Then you would want dishcloths and towels near your sink, along with drinking glasses for water. Finally, if dishes are to be kept in the kitchen cabinets and not in a formal dining room china closet, you would want the dishes to be in a cabinet either closest to your table, or closest to your dishwasher -- sometimes it is possible to accomplish both! You get the picture -- Point of Use. Make it user-friendly and convenient to work in. Also, make the easiest shelves to reach the ones you use for the stuff you use most often. Keep seldom used items on the harder to reach shelves, since you won't be accessing them daily.

Do you mean the cabinets on the wall or do you mean what goes into them?
