No matter what size your kitchen is, staying organized can be challenging. Take a look at these simple tips to help you get your kitchen decluttered and organised.
Divide and Conquer Your Plastic Containers
There's nothing worse than opening a cabinet door and unleashing an avalanche of plastic food storage containers. If your collection is out of control, try tossing any stained container, cracked, or doesn’t seal properly.
Put Your Essentials Front and Center
Spend less time searching for spices, paper towels, clean sponges, and more, and use caddies to keep your supplies out in the open but conveniently out of the way.
Clean Out Your Fridge and Add Clear Bins
It’s always a good idea to clear out your fridge, check expiration dates, and wipe everything down regularly. Produce and leafy greens tend to go bad pretty quickly, so you may want to adjust the temperature and humidity levels if you notice premature wilt. Then use clear bins and drawers to corral similar items like juice boxes, cans of sparkling water, or condiments, and label each container with a sticker or dry erase marker.
Declutter Your Utensils Drawers
No one likes a crowded utensil drawer. If you’re tired of digging through spoons and forks, invest in a modular drawer organizer like this. You can purchase each compartment separately and essentially create the perfect solution for your space with a special spot for your cheese knives or corn holders.
Choose Clear Storage Containers
Once you’ve grouped everything, place your pantry staples in see-through pull-out containers. The transparent baskets will make it a lot easier to see what you have in stock and what you need to replenish the next time you’re at the grocery store.
