8 Tips To Have An Organized Kitchen
We take good care of cleaning up and organizing our bedrooms, living room, and our bathroom regularly, but one particular part of the house that needs as much attention is our kitchen. It is considered the heart of a home. It is were family convenes to share meals and share stories. Apart from our living room, the kitchen is where a family can bond.
It is one of the most utilized part of the house, yet it often falls on the last spectrum of priorities. It is where you cook hearty food, and it deserves to be recognized of its importance. And you can do that by making it clean, well-maintained and organized.
Unlike other rooms, organizing a kitchen can be a little tricky. It holds not only appliances, and fixtures but also edible perishable goods that needs proper handling. Here are some tips to make it at its best tip top shape.
Nothing beats a full view of color coordinated items in a kitchen. Make sure to group storage items base on their colors and arrange them based on how you often use them. This makes every visit to your kitchen cabinet a pleasant experience.
I know this sounds counterproductive and seems to appear non-environment friendly but try to curb your obsession of storing plastic container s whenever you can. Recycle plastic containers that are damaged or stained. If you can't help it, at least try to stack them up, sort them out base on their size.
People often forgot to maximize their vertical space. You can do this in your kitchen by hanging some of your items like aprons, pans, pot holders and whatnot. There is no need to install shelves your wall, a simple knob will do the trick.
Glass containers sound and look fragile, but they really arent. One particular problem in the kitchen is mismatching and forgetting where you placed something. This issue can easily be resolved when you have clear see-through glass container. Not only do you alleviate the stress of finding a particular ingredient, but it also makes things look tidy.
In order to be efficient in the kitchen you need to create a space for each item. Organizing your whole kitchen space base on their use. For example, knives and cutting boards are best placed near the sink; making meal preparations easier. Baking items should be on one side. Coffee, milk, chocolate powder and even tea should be on one area alone.
Coffee and tea can be a bit messy, unless you use a tray that will keep them in place and catch crumbs. This will help you tidy things up fast and will ensure your coffee essentials don't go somewhere else. You can also use a decorative basket, to make it looking sophisticated and make sure you place your coffee mug next to it, so you can reach it easier.
Opening a drawer with a bunch of mixed utensils including forks, spoons, and knifes and rummaging through them can be tough. Having a drawer organizer can help you find and get items in no time. When they are compartmentalized, digging through your drawer will be a thing in the past.
It easily comes in mind to stack canned goods vertically, until they reach the top of your cabinet. Instead of having this unstable high goods, use of magazine racks. This will organize them in a way that is not overwhelming and is aesthetically pleasing.
