Organization and decluttering is all the rage right now. Thanks to Marie Kondo, everyone is finding what “sparks joy” in their life and dumping the excess. This tidying up philosophy can be carried over into the kitchen—the most popular and busy room of the home. Bringing a little tranquility to this often hectic space can really make a difference in your peace of mind and overall happiness. Here are a few interesting ideas to help clear the clutter in your kitchen … and your head!
- Create or add a command center in or near the kitchen. Controlling the chaos, especially in the mornings, when you are running to get to a meeting at the office or trying to get the kids off to school, can be mind-blowing. Adding a simple area with a calendar, storage bins, post-it board, and a dry wipe or chalkboard can keep the whole family on track with what’s on deck for the day. Ultimately, bringing a sense of calm to the otherwise circus of daily life.
- Add storage shelves to an empty wall. It’s the perfect spot to keep your cookbooks in one organized area, easily on hand to grab while you’re creating your culinary masterpiece in the kitchen.
- Under shelf racks maximize storage space. Simply adding a few under shelf racks in hidden places around the kitchen can open up a world of possibilities to creative storage solutions. For example, keep all of your coffee mugs together in an under shelf rack and add some hooks to hang measuring spoons.
- Add an extra cabinet in a narrow area. Often there are small or narrow “dead” spaces in the kitchen that do nothing but collect dirt and grime. Contacting a team of kitchen remodeling experts near Northeast Philadelphia will help convert those challenging areas into a custom-built cabinet for unique storage of anything from cooking utensils to baking sheets.
- Use stackable wire baskets to store fresh fruit and vegetables. Finding an area in your kitchen to stack wire baskets is a fun way to keep all of the produce and veggies together in one spot. Not only does it organize the apples from the oranges, but it also creates a beautiful display of different colors and textures from each food item. Plus, it’s a great in-your-face reminder to grab some fruit instead of chips for a healthy snack.
