Kitchens can get cluttered very quickly, and it can feel a bit overwhelming, so here are a few tips to keep your kitchen clutter-free.
Clear any unneeded items off the counter when you’re done in the kitchen so it doesn’t pile up.
Clear out items you never use, such as small appliances, pots and pans, or ingredients that never get used.
Store items off the counter, like hanging paper towels under the cabinet, using wall-mounted magnetic knife strips, or storing things in cabinets.
Cleaning as you cook is a great way to avoid a sink full of dishes or a counter full of spices.
Avoid using the counters as a catch-all for things as you bring them in, like bags or mail.
