Kitchens are the heart of every home, says Coco of the design site Cococozy, so it's important that they remain functional, organized and clean.

“No matter what the occasion, people will always end up gathering in the kitchen,” the Los Angeles-based interior designer and blogger says.

To maintain an orderly and efficient kitchen, she says, you should have lots of chic and functional storage solutions, such as utensil holders, salt keepers and fruit bowls.

Here are a few of her must-have items to help you organize and style your space.
