Solutions for Home Organization: The Kitchen

Many people have a love/hate relationship with organizing their homes. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone! While there’s no guarantee you’ll enjoy the process of organizing your home, these tips are sure to leave you and your living space refreshed. So, what's next? Let's move to the kitchen.

The kitchen tends to be the area in every home where people love to gather. So, it can accumulate a lot of clutter. Here are ideas to help organize your cooking space: Under the Sink: We all know the area under the sink can end up with a mess of products. First step is to recycle extra plastic bags and switch to reusable grocery bags! The second is to organize those products. The best way to keep this area organized is to go the minimalist route. You don’t need 30 cleaning products - stick with your favorite core products that work for multiple rooms in your home, and only buy more when you truly need them. Cabinets: Whether you have a huge kitchen with many cabinets or a tiny kitchen with minimal space, it’s important to be smart about how you use the space. It’s time to throw away or donate the items you aren’t using, let them go! Once you’ve decluttered and know what items you’re going to keep, you’ll need to decide what you want to put where. You may find you need more space to keep the things you use most within reach. An easy solution? Cabinet risers. Fridge: The fridge can be a disaster area if you let it. To keep that from happening, toss any expired items as soon as you notice them. Then, organize the shelves and section off the fridge in a way that makes sense for your lifestyle.

The most important thing to remember, regardless of your method, is to finish what you start! I am here to help you along the way. Best regards,
