Decluttering the kitchen can be as simple as not having unnecessary stuff on the counters. You can start by putting away these items that are just cluttering the precious space.
People often put their mail in the kitchen and if you’re among them, you know how fast it can pile up. What you need is an organization system or at least a different place of it, like a desk.
Utensils
Make it a habit to put the utensils back in the drawers when you’re done with them and your kitchen will look much tidier at all times.
Spices
The same goes for spices. They should be in the pantry, away from your eyes, as we’re sure you’re not reaching for them several times every day.
Cookbooks
Cookbooks shouldn’t stand on the countertop; instead, put them on a dedicated shelf somewhere in the kitchen so they’re always within reach without cluttering the space.
Decor Items
We get that you’d like to display that beautiful bowl or vase, but the countertop is not the place to do that. Move it to the top of the cabinets or to an open shelf.
