3 Steps To Organise Your Kitchen
Is your junk drawer constantly in a state of overflow? Do you waste your life hunting for pesky utensils? The secret to a happy life is a well-organised kitchen - after all, it’s the heart of the home. Perhaps no other room in the house has such a profound impact on your psyche and quality of life. Here are a few ways to get started with a nifty overhaul.
1. Throw out, donate, let go
Just like the old adage of wearing 20% of your clothing 80% of the time, you’d be amazed just how much stuff you’ve managed to accumulate that ultimately serves no purpose in your home at all. From old ice-cube containers to yucky china sets, there are plenty of things which take up space in your cupboards without contributing one bit to your daily routine. Get rid of them. Use the three-bag system to divide items which you are absolutely sure you want to hold onto, items which are destined for the bin and items which might make another home very happy.
2. Reorder according to usage
Now that you’ve unsettled everything, it’s time to ensure your kitchen layout is logical and easily accessible. The highest and lowest cupboards always house the least-used items, such as occasion dinnerware, specialised appliances and wholesale stores of flour, sugar, oats and so on. Keep crockery below glassware, separate cutlery into at least two drawers and keep your most frequently used items, such as morning coffee mugs, visible, either on the kitchen counter or inside a partition.
3. Invest in some gadgets
There are inevitably some kitchen items which don’t lend themselves easily to storage - but luckily, the market for nifty household management systems is huge! From lid racks to retractable cookbook stands, from sliding crockery drawers to magnetic spice racks… there really is something for everyone. With a little forethought, such gadgets can make all the difference to the smoothness of daily life.
