35 Brilliant Kitchen Organization Tips-Save Space and Money
Best kitchen organization tips to help you organize every corner of your kitchen.
The kitchen is the hardest room in the house to keep organized, that’s if you don’t have a playroom or a play area. It’s the room we spend the most time in. We cook in it, we dine in it, and we even entertain in it.
There are drawers that have lots of utensils, some barely used. We have overflowing cupboards, where stuff gets at the back of it and you forget you even have them.
We end up buying new things just to find out 2 days later we already have them. Or we end up throwing away expired foods that were stuck at the back of your fridge.
Definitely, everyone has a junk drawer where you can find everything from pens to bills to unpaired socks from 4 years ago when your first child was a newborn.
