The kitchen is normally the most used part of the house, and even if you prepare a meal semi-regularly, there are a lot of things in it. Plates, cookware, cutlery, home appliances, food, condiments, and other items compete for kitchen space. And there are numerous places where clutter can accumulate, such as countertops, cabinets, and drawers. Clutter Busters Organizing can help you organize everything from a kitchen cupboard to drawers and cabinets. With these kitchen organizing tips, you can reclaim your space in one weekend and make preparing meals less stressful.
Begin by Decluttering the counters.
Countertops are clutter magnets in many households, so this is an excellent first step in clearing the space. These two easy steps will make a significant difference:
- Remove everything from the countertops except 3-5 basic essentials, such as a knife block or a coffee maker. You could even put the clutter on the floor or the kitchen table, but get it off the counter first.
- Put anything you cleared off the counter away or find a new home for it. If you find yourself with a pile of papers or junk mail, either throw it all away or move things that need to be handled to your office.
Clutter Busters Organizing can help you finish this decluttering project very fast and leave your kitchen will look brand new.
Divide Your Kitchen into Zones
To avoid a huge mess, Clutter Busters recommend organizing one part of your kitchen at a time. After you have put everything away, allocating zones could help you in improving your kitchen organization.
- Set aside a spot near the stove for cookware, pots, as well as pans. These items should be easily accessible from where you cook.
- If you don’t bake every day, keep your baking products on a shelf or in a cabinet.
- Storage bags, aluminum foil, cling wrap, and other similar items, and also cleaning supplies, should have their own zone.
Purge and Relocate Things
Consider throwing out or donating anything that you haven’t touched in a year as you clear your kitchen. If you chose to keep a rarely used item, you should store it elsewhere in your house especially if you are short on space in your kitchen. Remember to relocate anything that belongs in another zone to its new location.
Small Appliances: Inventory all of your small appliances and only retain what you actually use. Always keep appliances that serve multiple purposes.
Pots and pans: You probably only have a limited number of burners on your cooker that you can use at once. Therefore, you don’t need all those pans and pots you keep in your cupboard. You should donate all the duplicate pots unless they serve a specific purpose and you use them regularly.
