How to organise a kitchen: the cabinets
Organising a kitchen cabinet requires some common sense. The first thing to take into consideration is to only keep what you use. If your kitchen is small, there is no need to keep pots or pans that you only use once in a while. Therefore, you need to apply simple rules for better functionalities:
- Near the cooking area, store the pans and pots in an accessible place. For example, in a lower cabinet as most of the time, the cooking materials are stacked up.
- above or around the sink, store tableware.
- Concerning the material that you use for cooking recipes, store them above or under your work surface.
- For the cleaning products, avoid storing them in the kitchen. If you do, put them into a high cabinet for children safety.
