Hi lovelies,

When it comes to keeping your kitchen organized, you might as well get everything out in the open. According to statistics, about 56% of Americans are unhappy with the amount of clutter in their kitchens. And who can blame them? Keeping all those pots and pans organized can be a challenge. The good news is that cleaning and organizing your kitchen doesn’t have to be torturous - and it definitely doesn’t need to be expensive! With a little bit of research and some simple tips, you can tidy up your space and free up more than just a little space in your mind. Here are some helpful how-to guides on keeping your kitchen tidy and clear, so you don’t spend another sleepless night wondering what to throw away next.

Keep your counters clear
If you keep your counters stacked with ingredients and equipment, you’re not only wasting precious space, but you’re also increasing the risk of accidents! Not only are you probably cramping your storage space, but you’re also increasing the risk of tripping over any ingredients, especially when your eyes are elsewhere. Moreover, when your counters are full of clutter, it’s incredibly easy to lose track of things, especially when you’re extremely busy. Keeping things away from your immediate reach will improve your kitchen aesthetically and functionally. 

Invest in repairs
When something breaks in your kitchen, whether it’s a cabinet door, a faucet, or even a sink, it’s important to get it repaired as soon as you can. After all, there’s no point in keeping all that stuff inside a broken cabinet. That way, you won’t have to spend as much money replacing broken items, which can be pricey. For example, if your cabinet door is broken, you can temporarily seal the door with duct tape while you figure out the best way to fix the problem.

When it comes to appliances, investing in trusted appliance repair services can save you much more money than buying new ones every time. 

Keep frequently used items easily accessible
If you keep a basket or a tray by your sink or in your pantry, you can keep frequently used items, such as sponges, rags, and cleaning products, easily accessible. Plus, it’s a handy way to keep your counters and other surfaces clean, which can help prevent accidents, as well as improve your overall safety in the kitchen.

 If you’re short on space in your kitchen, or even just slightly short on time, a basket or tray can be your best friend. This will group frequently used items together and allow you to store them away with more ease.

Stay organized to keep it all together
While it’s important to keep everything in your kitchen in one place, it’s also important to organize things a little. That way, when you’re trying to find something, you won’t have to search through a large pile of stuff. You can keep your kitchen organized by using small baskets, trays, or smaller plastic storage containers.

Keep it all together
Now, you’ve read through all these tips, it’s time to actually tackle that cluttered kitchen. Don’t stress! This isn’t the end of the world, and it doesn’t have to be a painful process. In fact, it can actually be really fun and rewarding to see your kitchen transform! That way, when you’re finished, you’ll be able to see a difference. Not only will your counters and floors be much less cluttered, but you’ll also be able to see what your dining table and chairs look like without anything in their way.
