If your kitchen isn’t meeting your expectations, you can use the steps below to remodel it for comfort and panache.

  1. Take stock of your kitchen’s purpose. Is it for cooking, baking, eating and storing food? If this is the case, move any items unrelated to the purpose of your space (like papers, magazines, tools, etc.) to other, more appropriate rooms of your home.
  2. Identify the main categories of items to store in your kitchen. For example:
  • cookware – Frying pans, saucepans, stew pots and lids.
  • baking pans – Baking sheets, tart pans, cake tins and muffin tins.
  • domestic appliances – Coffee maker, toaster, food processor, bread maker and blender.
  • kitchen appliances – Vegetable peeler, egg slicer, thermometer, corkscrew, manual can opener, box grater, cutting board, rolling pin, strainer and colander.
  • Utils – Spoons, forks, spatulas, tongs, whisks, pastry brushes and BBQ utensils.
  • Crockery, glasses and cutlery – Plates, bowls, cups, glasses and cutlery.
  • pantry items – Spices, herbs, dry goods (flour, pasta, etc.), canned and bottled products (soups, Worcestershire sauce, etc.), and vinegars and oils.
  • refrigerated and frozen items.
  • cookbooks.
  • objects under the sink – Waste basket and cleaning products.
  • Sort everything in your kitchen into the piles that represent the main categories identified in Step 2. Start with all surface items, then move on to items stored in drawers, closets, and your pantry. If you have an extraordinary amount of items to sort, you may want to get a large box for each category so your stacks don’t get mixed up.
  • Sort and organize each category. Be determined to eliminate everything but the items you love and use. Reduce multiples of a single item and discard old, infrequently used, and unwanted items by selling, giving to someone else, selling, or donating. Then classify the remaining items into subcategories, e.g. B. organizing pantry items – all spices together and all dry goods together etc.
  • Decide where to save each category. Consider the size of each category, how often you will access each category, and where in your kitchen you will use each category. For example, place dishes near your dishwasher and cookware near your stove. Then double-check your plan – is there more convenient and adequate storage space for each category?
  • Shop for containers, space-saving faucets and accessories to make your kitchen as practical and enjoyable as possible. Many kitchens suffer from a lack of space, so using items like the following will maximize your space and make it more functional.
    • Pull out the closet organizer Make it easy to keep similar things together and provide easy access to items in the back of your closet. (Available at many hardware stores.)
    • Expandable steel shelves twice the space on your shelf. (Available from Bed, Bath and Beyond.)
    • wall shelving systems Free up counter space and make it easier to grab the utensils you need when cooking. (Available at Stacks and Stacks, IKEA, or hardware stores.)
  • Place all items in their new container and/or slot. And enjoy your reward… a kitchen that works well, day after day!
