There are four different work stations that you can have in your kitchen which are WET, DRY, HOT, COLD.
When I am thinking about designing my kitchen, it needs to be organize by function, or the preparation area. This is done so it can be broken down in appearance and placement that can often get in the way of intelligent planning.
Wet Zone
Wet preparation refers to a fairly mundane set of kitchen activities, such as washing vegetables, which all takes place in or close by my sink. Always plan for traffic and work space in the kitchen. I will need to have plenty of room to do this.
Wet Storage
I am thinking about what I need to store near the wet. It makes sense to store everyday glasses and the plates, bowls, and cups that I can use all the time. Doing this makes it very convenient. There are some ways that I can accomplish this. Some of them are open shelves, closed cups boards, and decorative plate racks. The next thing is I need it close to the sink. I will need electric coffee pots and electric tea kettle. Right next canisters, paper filters, tea bags, coffee thermos, and teapot. Also other tools that need water put in them is electric rice cooker, mixer, blender, food processor, and slow cooker should be close to the sink whether you store them in cabinet, counter top or if you have a pull-up shelf where you can store them.
Storage for wet also covers colander.
The sink also will creates storage requirements as well as storage underneath. This is where I will store my dish washing soaps, cleaners, rubber gloves, hand cream and whatever. I would need to do the cleaning up.
I store mop, rags, bucket, broom, and sponges in the broom closet.
