Inertia is one of the primary reasons why it is difficult to clean up a mess. When we bring things into our homes, we fail to set up a neat storage system and instead place them on shelves at random, thinking it’s a temporary solution and that we’ll find the right place for them later. However, things eventually remain in place, resulting in shambles.
Use an organizer for objects that are always there on the tabletop to make spaces look neater
You’ve probably heard that it’s best to keep dinner tables and other tabletops clear. However, this is not always possible or convenient. Salt shakers and sugar basins always seem to end up on the table, and it’s actually useful to keep oil and sauces close to the stove. This conflict can be resolved with the help of a single organizer. If all of the aforementioned objects are kept in a designated area, such as a decorative plate, rather than scattered throughout the kitchen, it will look neat and remain functional.
Arrange additional shelves to use up all the useful space in kitchen cabinets
Sometimes tall kitchen cabinets without additional shelves force us to stack dishes and boxes on top of each other. It’s extremely inconvenient, especially when you need to get something out of these stacks. Moreover, it’s not aesthetically pleasing. However, special expandable kitchen cabinet shelves can help you avoid these piles. They can be used for storing different types of dishes, from mugs and cups to plates.
You can hang jars with spices on plastic clip strips so that they don’t clutter shelves
It’s extremely important to be able to use vertical spaces to create functional areas. For example, for storing jars with spices that can prevent you from getting to larger objects behind them, you can use the inner walls of the cabinets by arranging plastic clip strips to them. And luckily for you, they’re available in any plumbing store.
Foil, baking paper, and plastic bags can be stored on an organizer for documents
You’ve probably heard that it’s best to keep dinner tables and other tabletops clear. However, this is not always possible or convenient. Salt shakers and sugar basins always seem to end up on the table, and it’s actually useful to keep oil and sauces close to the stove. This conflict can be resolved with the help of a single organizer. If all of the aforementioned objects are kept in a designated area, such as a decorative plate, rather than scattered throughout the kitchen, it will look neat and remain functional.
Place special containers in the fridge to sort products
Undoubtedly, you can intuitively demarcate space in the refrigerator, even now. And you’ve probably already noticed that such an approach leads to giving up soon after because all of the products stored in the fridge will look like one big mess in no time. In order not to create more chaos, place additional containers for certain products so that each group has its own spot.
A turnable stand can become a perfect solution if you have lots of small jars in the kitchen
Such stands are true gems when it comes to arranging piles of jars, such as those for spices, sauces, or oils. It’s inconvenient to store these small containers on a flat surface, one behind the other, but it prevents us from easily finding the jar that we need. Plus, there’s always a risk that you’ll drop a jar or multiple containers while trying to reach for others. Thanks to such an organizer, all the necessary items will always be in sight and at hand.
It’s much more convenient to store baking trays, cutting boards, and medium-height baking dishes vertically
The habit of stacking all flat objects one on top of the other is inconvenient, especially when you need to retrieve an item that is buried beneath 6 other items. To put this problem behind you once and for all, use a vertical rack that allows you to easily reach any object.
Use a special holder, as not to unstack heavy frying pans every time you need to cook
The same rule that applies to storing frying pans as described in the preceding paragraph applies to frying pan storage. Instead of stacking them on top of each other and potentially damaging the coating of the frying pans, consider investing in a special holder. As a result, frying pans can be stored vertically or horizontally without becoming difficult to grasp. Furthermore, if you place a towel beneath the holder, it can function as a drying rack.
Cans can be placed in a special organizer.
Stacking cans on top of each other is also inconvenient and causes the same problems as stacked frying pans and spice jars. A special organizer or several document holders of the required width will assist in resolving the problem.
Most kitchen utensils look better on hooks than on shelves
Unlike forks and spoons, kitchen utensils such as whisks and ladles are never neatly distributed on the shelf, even when a special tray is used. Consider arranging hooks to avoid a cluttered kitchen. They can, for example, be placed on top of a table. They can also be used to hang other items like potholders and cups.
Install a lid-holder on the inner part of a kitchen cabinet
Storing lids is usually the second most inconvenient chore, right after stacking frying pans. However, there are special holders that can be installed on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door. Another option is to hang towel hooks on the inner door of a kitchen cabinet. In this case, however, you’ll be able to fit fewer lids because they won’t be stacked one on top of the other and will take up all of the available door space.
It’s better to store potatoes and onions in a vertical rack, not in a bag or in a box.
If you buy onions or potatoes in small portions, you might be well aware of how hard it is to find the right place for them and not to ruin the overall look of the kitchen, keeping them relatively accessible. Regular metal holders for documents can come to the rescue once again. They let vegetables breathe freely and fit into any cabinet thanks to their vertical shape.
Opt for square-shaped containers
A large set of square-shaped containers will save your cabinets from the colorful chaos of boxes and bags. Moreover, this shape is convenient because, unlike round-shaped items, it’s easier to rearrange and move square containers inside cabinets. But make sure they’re transparent, otherwise, you’ll have to mark each of them.
