Tips for Organizing Your New Kitchen
How to Make Your Move Stress-Free by Planning and Organizing Your Kitchen
Moving into a new home can be overwhelming, but the process of unpacking and organizing your new kitchen does not have to be. With a few tips, you can ensure that your new kitchen is up and running in no time. This article provides guidance on how to declutter before the move and how to organize your kitchen after the move.
BEFORE THE MOVE: SORT AND PURGE
Packing up your kitchen can be a daunting task, but it's an excellent opportunity to declutter. Before you start packing, take everything out of your kitchen cabinets and discard anything that you no longer use or need. Items in good condition can be donated to charity, and broken items should be thrown away.
AFTER THE MOVE: GET ORGANIZED
Organizing your new kitchen can be exciting and offers an opportunity to create an efficient and functional space. To make the most of your new kitchen, create zones for preparation, cooking, baking, and storage. Plan where you want to store your items and what goes where.
ORGANIZING YOUR DISHWASHER AND SINK AREAS
Keep your counter clean and store daily glasses, plates, coffee mugs, dishes, and dish towels in the cabinets closest to the dishwasher and sink. Your cleaning supplies and dishwashing products can be stored in a basket under the sink.
ORGANIZING YOUR COOKING UTENSILS
Store your cooking utensils, pans, and spatulas in cabinets next to the stove and oven. Spices, oils, and seasonings that you use daily should also be easily accessible.
ORGANIZING YOUR BAKING SUPPLIES
Store knives, chopping boards, flour, sugar, baking powder, measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls, and rolling pins near the baking area. Use separate shelves for snacks, canned goods, and cooking supplies.
For the first few days after moving, label your drawers and cabinets with sticky notes so that everyone in your family can find items easily. By following these tips, you can create an organized kitchen that will make cooking and baking a breeze.
