Declutter Your City Kitchen With Yamazaki Home In 5 Easy Steps
For those who live in a tiny apartment, condo, or small home, there’s a good chance there will be a small kitchen. Some larger apartments and houses also present this particular organizational challenge. The first step with a small kitchen is to pare down your belongings to the essentials. Many goods sold for kitchens are primarily decorative, but a small kitchen demands more practical items. I’ve partnered with Yamazaki Home to share some of my top tips to declutter and work towards a more minimalist space. Yamazaki Home focuses on organization, storage and space-saving. All of their products are designed to be as smart and simple as possible. Though a huge, whimsical cookie jar can be a nice touch in a large kitchen, it eats up precious counter space in a small one. This doesn’t mean forgoing anything fun in a small kitchen. Cool magnets on the fridge, attractive pot-holders and pans, and art on the wall will decorate without poaching space.
When your kitchen is clean it can help you feel more at peace in your home. Clutter-free countertops help you have a clutter-free mind. Since, we’re all spending more time at home this year, having a zen-like kitchen can do wonders for your mood and productivity. Here are my simple steps to clean up your kitchen and bring peace back to your living space:
Choose Products With Multiple Uses
Stay Current With Your Kitchen
Evaluate Countertop Appliances and Space
Keep Decor Simple And Clean
Use Organizers When Possible
Be ruthless and honest. Don’t hold onto things you haven’t used in a year. I’ve done this thinking, “Oh I’ll just make myself use that a Christmas time.” Christmas came and went and I still didn’t use the pretty bowl. Put what you use the most where you can reach it easiest. The cereal bowls and plates you use everyday should be very accessible. Group similar things in your pantry, so you don’t buy what you already have. Store duplicates of items one behind the other.
