Uncluttered Simplicity’s Research Shows: The Kitchen Is The Most Cluttered Space In Our Home

Uncluttered Simplicity’s research shows that the kitchen is the most cluttered and disorganized space in our homes. A good number two is the garage, followed by the living room.

It is not surprising the kitchen is the most cluttered room. Usually, a kitchen facilitates many more functions than just preparing meals. Think about children doing their homework, arts and crafts projects being realized on the kitchen counter, or even hanging out with friends and some nearby food and drinks.

Even though our kitchens are often big and spacious, with all these different activities taking place inside it, the kitchen needs a daily organizing routine. The question is, how do you organize a kitchen regularly?

Expert Top 3 Tips On Kitchen Organization

Home Organizing experts from Uncluttered Simplicity gives us the top 3 most important tips on kitchen organization.

Declutter Before You Organize Your Kitchen

One of the most important things in kitchen organization is to declutter before you start organizing. Start by clearing out every kitchen cabinet and drawer and placing the inside in one place, for instance, your living room.

Categorize Items Based On Usage

Now categorize all items in your kitchen based on usage and store them accordingly. Every day used items in closer proximity than the items you only use incidentally. Plates, pots, and glasses should be placed where you can easily access them. Food items should be placed close to the stove, fridge, or counter, so you don’t spend too much time looking for the items you need.

Use The Vertical Space In Your Kitchen

Don’t forget to use the vertical space, for instance, the side of your refrigerator, a cabinet wall, or even the inside of a cabinet door. This way you can create a hidden command center, use a vertical hanging organizer, or fix a small hanging garbage bin on the inside of your under-the-kitchen-sink-cabinet.
