7 ways to minimize kitchen counter clutter ✨ *DISCLAIMER: does our kitchen always look like this? Absolutely not. I’ve got three boys and a husband, so clutter-free is impossible. However, I did want to showcase these hacks/tips right after the daily tidy-up before the minions got to it 😜 Seeing clutter can make you feel mentally cluttered. Organizing can ease anxiety by removing overwhelming visual stimuli. Let’s start with the kitchen counters. Does it often become a dumping ground? Of course. But little habit changes can make a difference. Here’s what I’ve implemented the past year: ☑️ storing knives in the drawer instead of inside the knife block on the counter ☑️storing spices in a graded drawer rack vs on the counter ☑️ storing cooking utensils in a drawer vs a jar on the counter (also keeps them cleaner from dust) ☑️ using trays and rotating racks aka lazy Susans to contain items and give them a designated spot ☑️ Using a charging port for phones/devices to hide cords and cables ☑️ storing any small appliances away when not in use (if you space allows for it) ☑️ having a designated bin for mail/magazines. HOWEVER, you should get in the habit of clearing it out regularly so it doesn’t pile up and also throw out junk mail BEFORE it even lands in this bin. What are your favorite ways to declutter in the kitchen? I love to learn about other hacks/tips. #newyearnewgoals #homeorganization #kitchenorganization #organizationideas #cleaninghacks #lifehacks #kitchenstorage #organizedhome #momofthreeboys
