Tips To Declutter Your Counters
Keeping a kitchen clean is no easy task, but there are plenty of organizing tips to declutter your gorgeous counters. Show off your new Planet Stone countertops with the following tips and enjoy a clutter free kitchen!
The first step is to determine which items are worthy of counter space. Which appliances do you use daily, or other tools do you reach for regularly? Most likely 80 percent of the items on your kitchen counters don’t fall into either of those categories. Identify additional storage for anything that is not in your regular rotation. Examples of things that might stay: chef’s knives, cooking tools, coffee maker, toaster. And examples of items you might store: can opener, stand mixer, unnecessary decorative elements.
One item that commonly clutters counters is spice racks. A great trick for reclaiming precious counter space is to install a wall-mounted spice rack or use magnetic tins to attach to the side of your refrigerator. That way, the spices are easy to grab when you are cooking, but they are not covering your beautiful Planet Stone Countertops.
Consider investing in a utility cart to help you store items that aren’t daily go-tos, but that you need access to often. A rolling cart can be moved to where you need it, providing extra counter space when you are cooking, as well as storage underneath.
Another item that takes up precious kitchen counter space is a paper towel rack. Install one that is mounted under your kitchen cabinets or vertically against the wall. Paper towels need to be easily accessible, but they don’t need to take up counter space!
It’s easy to say you should move items from your counters to your kitchen cabinets, but if you are running out of space in your cabinets, there are several solutions. Invest in shelf inserts that allow you to better maximize this space. Take some time to go through food items and weed out items that are past their expiration date. You might be surprised at how much space you are able to free up through these two exercises!
Kitchen organizing isn’t a particularly exciting topic, but your kitchen is a space you use every day, multiple times a day. One obvious thing that clutters counters is dirty dishes. If you don’t have a dishwasher, invest in a proper drying rack. Be diligent about rotating clean and dirty items out.
Make sure your trash can is easily accessible and convenient. Don’t let garbage sit out on your counters. Each evening after preparing dinner, take time to wash dishes or rinse them and place them in the dishwasher. Meanwhile you can enjoy the beautiful look of your Planet Stone Countertops.
If you have invested so much into your home, it’s worth it to keep it decluttered and clean to show off your excellent taste and hard work. A decluttered kitchen and countertop’s will make your day -to-day life easier. There’s no better time like the present to get organized.
