In the kitchen there are so many places things pile up, for example, mail and bills on the counter, dirty dishes on the sink and kitchen supplies on the floor. However, today we will cover two tips to decluttering a spot in your kitchen that will make everything feel less messy and under control.
Reminders, shopping lists, family cards and magnets end up cluttered for month or two on the outside of your refrigerator. And that’s just the outside. We can end up placing empty bottles, opened bags of snack and loaves of bread on the top side, clearing all this will help your kitchen feel clean instantly and it’s part of it’s maintenance.
Tips for decluttering the front and sides of the fridge:
- Consider moving the stuff you file on your fridge with magnets to a side of the fridge not seen when you walk into the room (well, if your layout allows).
- Or, just streamline the reminders by keeping papers and the magnets holding them up more uniform in both appearance and location.
- Of course, you could eliminate altogether this spot as a catch-all by immediately turning invitations, shopping lists and more digital or onto an agenda/planner.
Tips for decluttering the top of your fridge:
- For the top, you can try to unload a tool or kitchen item you don’t use (for donation) out of a cabinet to find more room for whatever it is that you’re storing on top of your fridge.
- Or, you can just get creative with how you store things above your fridge if you need to use the space — boxes, baskets and other storage containers can contain your fridge stuff a lot more attractively.
For any spot on the outside of your fridge, it’s not about making it empty (unless that’s your goal!); it’s more about making it a lot less hectic and random! If you are looking for tips on how to organize your fridge on the inside, we have that too!
