Ideas For Decluttering The Kitchen
If you de-junked everything which doesn't belong in your kitchen, how much faster would it be to cook a meal or simply get a snack and relax with a friend? Clearing out the clutter can improve ANY kitchen area, big or small, well or badly laid out. Most of us have numerous items hanging around in our kitchens which could be removed with no great loss. How about food? Foods you experimented with and hated, foods that you imagined you would eat, but didn’t, foods beyond their best-before date, can all be tossed out and never be missed. Occasionally we keep worn-out equipment or supplies way after they have stopped being usable – worn towels and dishcloths, and cleaning supplies which are dried up or no longer usable are good examples. Pots and pans with wobbly handles, burned-out places, or cracked coatings are also good candidates for the junk heap. Other stuff just doesn’t belong in the kitchen, especially if we’re tight on space there. Cleaning supplies you use in other rooms, stuff belonging to other people or other rooms, and equipment used only at the holidays could all be stored elsewhere to free up kitchen space. Special-purpose equipment you haven't used for more than a year also comes under this category: if you really will use it again some time, store it somewhere else, otherwise: get rid of it! Then there’s the stuff that just seems to accumulate when our backs are turned. Gadgets and small appliances are a common problem here. Do you own small appliances you have never used, or used only one time and never again? Or that are broken and almost certainly will never be fixed? Or maybe you have "As seen on TV" gadgets that never operated as you'd hoped? Many of us also have many duplicates of stuff like can openers, utensils, china and flatware: pick the ones you love the most to keep, get rid of the ones you really will never use, and stash the “just in case” or “spare” pieces outside the kitchen. Oh, and we mustn’t overlook the plastic tubs (and their lids, which somehow never match up) and glass jars that we hang on to because they are SO USEFUL! Of course, they are, but how many of them do you really have room for? More are entering the house all the time! Disappointingly, many of us also have a shelf full of recipe cards and cookbooks we never look inside. The photos were – and still are! – so enticing, but we just never had time for making the dishes. Will you - ever? No? Then perhaps someone else should have the chance to benefit from them. With lots of stuff gone, perhaps you now have room to breathe and move in your kitchen. In future, try not to let the clutter collect again, as it will try to do. It’s much easier to organize the things you really need and use, once the unneeded stuff is out of the way.
