What should not be in the kitchen!

After arranging a new kitchen, over time there is a catastrophic lack of space. Almost every housewife faces this problem. How to solve it? The main cause of clutter is the presence of unnecessary things in the room. They clog up space and prevent you from placing the necessary items. To solve the problem, you should get rid of unnecessary items in the kitchen.

What should not be in the kitchen

To declutter your kitchen, look through all the items in your kitchen. Without a doubt, you will find many things there that are not intended for cooking. Anything unnecessary should be thrown out or stored somewhere else. If you haven’t used something for a year, feel free to throw it away, sell it, donate it “what if it comes in handy.” As a last resort, send it to the pantry or closet.

Junk

Many people have a separate drawer or bag of sachets in their kitchen. Throw most of them in the trash and the next time you go to the store, buy a canvas bag rather than a bag. It takes up minimal space and is more environmentally acceptable. You can also often find food boxes, egg trays and piles of plastic bottles in the kitchen. All this is unlikely to be useful to you, but it takes up a lot of space.

You can leave a maximum of 2-3 bottles in the house; more are unlikely to be useful, of course, if you are not making crafts from them. The rest can be filled with water and placed in the car or garage. Plastic food containers left over after delivery will also be redundant. More often than not, he doesn’t use them at all. Therefore, you can and should safely throw it in the trash can immediately after a meal, and not accumulate it “in reserve.”

Items from other rooms

Often in the kitchen you can find foreign objects that are not intended for cooking. For example, chairs from another room, toys, accessories, a vase, a laptop or tablet. All this should be in the living room. Place all unnecessary items in the rooms where they belong.

Remember! If you take an item from another room and bring it into the kitchen, remember to put it back after using it to avoid creating a mess.

Unused equipment

Many owners like to purchase different household appliances. For example, a food processor, meat grinder, blender, toaster, etc. However, half of this equipment is not used at all and simply takes up space on the shelf. Choose from all the devices, only those that you use most often. And put everything else in the closet or sell it as unnecessary.

Note: do not forget about small household appliances that are lying or standing in the cabinet. Focus on your lifestyle. If you like natural juices or smoothies, then you shouldn’t put your blender or juicer far away. If you often grill, then you should also leave the grill in an accessible place.

Excess dishes

In addition to the necessary dishes, there are often a bunch of mugs, glasses and plates on the kitchen shelves, which are used only on holidays or when guests arrive.Go through all the dishes and keep only those that are used regularly. Other items can be put away. Plates, glasses, glasses, cutlery for serving can also be sorted out.

Pots, pans, etc. should not lie on the countertop. You need to allocate a separate locker for them. To save space, nail hooks to the cabinet door on which you can hang lids. And put all the pots one inside the other.

Lots of decor that collects dust and grease

On the refrigerator and other shelves there are often magnets, figurines and other souvenirs that supposedly decorate the room, but in fact collect dust and take up space. Many housewives love fresh flowers in pots in large quantities. In this case, it is appropriate not to place pots on all possible surfaces, but to purchase one beautiful shelf for flowers and make a “green corner”. All the rest need to be moved to the balcony or another room. Decor in the form of artificial flowers, panels, paintings, figurines, books will also be superfluous in the kitchen. Such items collect dust and grease; it is better to get rid of them.

Cosmetics

Many housewives prefer to gather in the kitchen, and for some this is dictated by small-sized housing. There is always good lighting and a table for convenience. Therefore, most of the cosmetics, most often, remain in this room, where they do not belong. Cosmetics should be in the bathroom or bedroom, but definitely not in the room where food is prepared. Also, do not forget that you need to remove creams, mirrors, masks and other body and face care products.

Things, clothes, bags

In the room where they cook and eat there is no place for clothes, bags and unnecessary things. Most often, the kitchen in an apartment or house is small in size. Extra items only clutter it up.Bags should be stored in the dressing room, other things in the closets of the rooms.

Devices for drying clothes

How familiar it is - a clothesline stretched along the entire kitchen for drying clothes. If the apartment is small and there is no balcony, a dryer is often placed in the kitchen, since there is no room for it in another room. However, there should not be such items in the kitchen. Fold and move the dryer to another room or bathroom. A large coil will help you save space and dry a lot of things. Now you can install a coil the size of an entire wall, from floor to ceiling, and dry everything there, including blankets.
