Have A Cluttered Kitchen?
Organize Your Kitchen, Inside Out

Do you have a cluttered kitchen? Maybe it's because it lacks intention.

When your space has a purpose and you have a purpose in your space, it is easy to determine what basic necessities should share that space with you. Everything else is "clutter"!

Most activity in the home centers in and around the kitchen, so it is important to be on clutter control.

You can't totally avoid clutter in this space, but at least you can allow it to come and go with an underlying sense of order and purpose.

So, with your intentions for your kitchen in hand (or in your head), here is one tried-and-true method to clearing out the kitchen:

Ready...

Find a space in another room where you can put all of the items from your kitchen temporarily as you clean, declutter, and simplify.

Set...

In this space, put your organizing containers or boxes: love, donate, sell, trash, recycle, etc.

Go...

• First, start be removing any furniture that can be removed.
• Remove all items from the counter tops, sink, etc.
• Remove all items from drawers, cupboards, cabinets, and pantry if there is one.
• Remove curtains or window treatments from the windows.
• Anything left? Remove these items, if possible.

Done? Take a short break to drink some water, and review your intentions again.
