It's Kitchen Organizing Time!
Creating a system to keep your kitchen organized doesn't have to be complicated or custom-made. It won't require a lot of thinking, and you don't need anything fancy. However, it's still important to consider kitchen storage, especially if you want to make the most of space in a small kitchen. While there's no such thing as a perfectly organized kitchen, using clever storage solutions can save you time during meals, free up space in pantries and cabinets, and, most importantly, make your kitchen a more welcoming place. Here are 3 easy steps and recommendations to a clutter-free kitchen:
Tip 1: Declutter you space
Start by decluttering your kitchen space. Clear out those utensils, pots, and pans that you no longer use. Think hard about those appliances – do you actually use an ice cream maker? Decisively choose what stays and what goes. As what Marie Kondo says - Keep what brings you joy.
Tip 2: Categorise and group
Organise your kitchen items by category while also making sure it suits how you use your kitchen. Here’s a guide to help you categorise your kitchen tools:
- Dry foods, canned goods and spices
- Pots, pans, dishes and other cookware
- Baking essentials (for frequent bakers)
- Flatware
- Plates and bowls
- Glasses
- Special occasion china and other items used infrequently
- Dishtowels and cloths
- Kids’ plates, dishes and cups (if applicable)
- Cleaning supplies (if these aren’t stored elsewhere in your home)
Tip 3: Optimise storage
Containers are the best for kitchen organisation. Invest in clear containers for pantry staples and label them like a pro. Use storage containers or drawer dividers to keep things neat. This not only makes finding things a breeze but also adds a touch of visual harmony. Invest as well in multi-functional kitchenware or tools for easier categorising.
