Ways to Declutter the Kitchen

Read on for tips on how to keep cleaning products and messy dishes from taking over your kitchen.

Vertical Storage

Slotted organizers, which hold everything from your prized ceramics to baking sheets, can help you prioritize the pieces you use the most and keep them close at hand. Going through all of your kitchen accessories can also help you realize what you use the most and get rid of things that are just laying around.

Make Your Storage Match

Lots of different colors and mismatching storage and packaging can look busy and create a chaotic feeling. Unpack dry goods like pasta, nuts, and flours into matching canisters. This will make it easy to see what you have and encourage you to buy in bulk. Buying in bulk can cut down the amount of packaging coming into your house, period. Less waste, less clutter.

Clear the Counters

Nobody likes a messy counter top!  Get rid of unneeded papers, small appliances that are not used on a regular basis and decorative accessories that you do not love. Having clear counters also makes them easier to wipe down and keep clean.

Hang Items Under the Sink

Use a spring-loaded curtain rod to hang up spray bottles under the kitchen sink. The handles fit perfectly over the rod. This will free up space under your sink for other items you want to keep on hand. You can also hang containers off the rod to store extra sponges and miscellaneous objects.
