How To Organise Your Kitchen

Declutter Your KitchenThe first thing you need to do to have a successfully organised kitchen is to declutter. This means getting rid of any old kitchen appliances that don’t work anymore, old utensils that you just don’t need as well as old cans of food and spices that have been sitting in the back of the cupboard for years.

In order to decide which items you may or may not need, try boxing them into separate catergories of things you want to keep and things you need to throw away.

Once you have decluttered your kitchen you will find you will have more space; making it easier for you to decide how you want to structure your kitchen.

Hang Pots and PansHanging your pots and pans may be an effective way to conserve space in your kitchen. If you have a smaller kitchen then this just might be the method for you.

So if there is enough space to do so, why not hang these kitchen items. By doing so it will make it easier for you to just pick up a pot instead of having to rummage through kitchen cupboards; making this method very pratical.

Draw DividersUsing draw dividers will help keep your kitchen draws neat and tidy; making it easier for you to put away items and find them easily once you need to use them again.

So why not try using these dividers in your kitchen and you will see how much more organised your kitchen drawers will become. Not only can you use dividers for utensils such as knives and forks, you can also use them to store food.

Use See-Through ContainersTried of mismatched containers with the

wrong foods inside them?

Why not try using see-through storage containers. Whether plastic or glass, using these containers will make it easier for you to see what’s inside each container instead of searching through each container to find

what you are looking for.

Create Kitchen WorkzonesBy creating workzones in your kitchen, it will make it easier for you do put your kitchen items according to their related zone.

You can divide your kitchen into zones such as: • Consumables• Non-Consumables• Cleaning• Preparation• Cooking

Using this technique will make keeping your kitchen clean and organised a little more easier because you will know what specific areas are for and what items are stored there.

living space. They can help reduce stress, enhanceproductivity in a work environment, cleanse the air andgenerally provide a

indoors too. In fact, hanging plants are a particularly good way to incorporate theoutdoors into your kitchen, for an extra fresh

The Final Word.Dreaming of a cool warehouse bedroom?

Here’s a few tips on how to achieve the relaxed and minimalist styling that you would expect to see in this type of setting .

You will need the ‘exposed’ and ‘distressed’ look that appears when stripping back old paint or wallpaper, and appreciate how it could save time and money with the decorating, but the reality is that it never turns out like the trendy boutique hotels or restaurants.

Try our cheat version using a combination of two paints; a putty shade and then a darker grey. Start by applying a few coats of your lighter colour and when that has dried, use a roller to apply a very light covering of the darker shade, if you are worried about pressing too hard then just build up several light layers, the finished result is very effective.

Natural materials are key, the more texture the better as they sit beautifully against a concrete wall. A wooden stool is a good alternative to a bedside table and a pretty rattan basket can be used for storing magazines or throws.
