The kitchen is the most used room of the home and that means the kitchen quickly becomes the major clutter area. The challenge of controlling the clutter and organizing this space challenges family members several times every day. The solution, which sounds so simple, is to find a storage place and train the family to use it.
Like rabbits, the plastic bags multiply overnight. The junk drawer collects tens of rubber bands, corks, paper clips, and so on. It seems like anything left on the counter is a magnet for all the loose ends that family members bring into the house. The often heard tip, handle it one time, is easier said than done. To get control of this frustrating problem, here are some suggestions.
Take an inventory of drawers and cupboards and with trash receptacle near, toss out the junk in drawers. Recycle the plastic and paper bags and determine which plastic containers are worthy of remaining in your kitchen. Just how many free mugs belong in the cupboard? If you experience doubts, set those that tug your heart on the counter for a final review.
Look under the kitchen sink and remove half used containers of cleaning products or simply combine into one. You may be surprised at the items never opened or mostly empty. Make a decision and handle the excess one time.
Consider storing dried items like beans, pasta or rice in a clear container so they are visible and easy to find. Browse stores like The Container Store or Stacks and Stacks. These merchants display useful and imaginative items that quickly assist organization in the kitchen. Just browsing the aisles helps you with ideas so you can analyze and accomplish a practical useful makeover.
Some final considerations, avoid storing more than you can readily see. Chances are you will not use those items. According to Karen Templer, “Your kitchen won't make you happy unless there's a proper place to put everything. Too much stuff hanging around in your kitchen can ruin the atmosphere of any room no matter how much is spent on the design.
