An Organised Kitchen is the Centre of Daily Life
Ready. Set. Organise. Because the kitchen is the centre of daily life, keeping it as organised as possible is vital. You’ll prepare meals more efficiently, save money by keeping food fresh for longer, and find it easier to maintain a clean, clutter-free space. Follow these handy tips and you’ll be well on your way to a better organised kitchen.
Kitchen organisation, Tip 1: Remove Everything from Cabinets and Drawers
As a first step towards your new kitchen order, clear out the cabinets and drawers completely. Make sure you have a large, free area, such as the kitchen table or island countertop, on which to place everything. This will give you a clear overview of what you have and will help you decide what you still need. It will also clear your storage spaces so you can give them a deep clean before you put everything back.
Kitchen organisation, Tip 2: Categorise
Chances are you’ll find it immediately satisfying to complete the first step of purging old and unnecessary items. Paring down clutter can feel like real progress. The next step is to categorise all the things you’ve decided to keep. It’s the basis for your new kitchen organisation! Sort your food and utensils and put everything back in the cabinets and drawers sorted into new kitchen zones of like items so that you can find everything more easily.
Kitchen organisation, Tip 3: Define Kitchen Zones
Dividing your kitchen into distinct zones for different purposes is a popular way to create order in a busy room. The five most popular zones are the food zone, utensil zone, preparation zone, cooking zone, and cleaning zone. Organising your kitchen around zones helps you optimise your movements around the kitchen, lets you easily know where everything is, and minimises clutter.
Kitchen organisation, Tip 4: Use the Best Storage Containers
Choosing the right storage plays a key role in kitchen organisation. The goal is to use modular, stackable, space-saving containers that keep food fresh for longer. That’s where ZWILLING Fresh & Save Cube comes in. Dry goods such as nuts, granola, coffee, and flour are protected from the elements in our airtight containers. With Cube, you have everything at your fingertips in stylish containers that maximise pantry space.
Kitchen organisation, Tip 6: Space Saving in the Kitchen
