Monday, April 24th, 2017

The kitchen is the home for appliances, gadgets and cookware but this can also be the home for boxes, food cans, and bags which tend to clutter. Add to these the limitless accessories and you would realize that having a small kitchen means having less space.

If you happened to flip through the pages of different interior design magazines, then you would realize that there are now many ways organize the room in your home. There are now a lot of organization techniques that can solve pot storage and pantry needs.

Corner Drawer

The first technique that you can employ is to set up a corner drawer. This is an impressive way to maximize the space in a limited kitchen. It will look equally great, too, even inside a spacious one.

The corner drawer is a great way to use that blind corner.

Unique Pantry

Another storage solution is a walk-in pantry. Homeowners simply love pantries because it houses just about every kitchen need. If you are able to see everything that you have, then you don’t end up buying things that you actually already have.

An obvious benefit of having a kitchen pantry is having an easier access to your food and beverage stock. And since you get to see the foods, then you end up having less food waste and having more money saved.

Having an accessible pantry also spells calorie reduction since you get to move about and cook more.

Kitchen Drawers

Containers and cabinets are the leading kitchen organization furnishings that you should also look into. With these, you can decide on what to store and what you should already cast aside. Having drawers and cabinets also spells heightened safety inside your kitchen since you get to store sharp tools and utensils.

The absence of these furnishings will lead to a disorganized kitchen. A cluttered kitchen will lead to impatience and a lot of things that could go wrong. It is also more difficult to organize a kitchen that does not have these furniture pieces.

Imagine where you will store your cookie sheets, cooling racks, muffin tins, trash bins, utensils, broiler pans and such.

Another way to utilize a kitchen cabinet is to make it into a spice storage unit. There is no one-size-fits-all type of spice cabinet. The more spices you have, of course, you will need more storage space. A smaller cabinet would do for more limited spices.

A dish drawer is also another way to free up space in your kitchen.

Or Simply Clean Up

Sometimes, all that a kitchen needs is a little TLC. You can begin with an empty sink and dishwasher. Then be sure to implement the rule – clean as you go. Make sure that every member of the family will be able to comply especially when clutter drives you nuts.

After this, make sure that you clean up your sink after you washed the dishes. Be sure also to oil your cutting boards monthly and have the cleaning tools on standby. You can also soak the dishes while you focus on freeing the rest of the kitchen from trash.

If you want quicker ways to keep your kitchen tidy, then you can also grab the supplies that you need – dish cloths, cleansers, sponges, etc. These are a part of the basic cleaning kit that should always be ready. The rest are a vacuum cleaner, a broom or two, dustpan, mops and duster.

Lastly, wash down the sink, appliances and countertop as you end the day. Wash also your cleaning equipment and tools.

You see, kitchen organization is not impossible, is it?
