After arranging a new kitchen, over time there is sorely lacking space on it. Almost every housewife is faced with such a problem. How to solve it? The main reason for the disorder is the presence of excess items in the room. They clog up the space and do not allow to place the necessary objects. To solve the problem you should get rid of excess items in the kitchen.
To make out the mess in the kitchen, review all items in it. Without a doubt, you will find there are many things that are not intended for cooking. All excess should be thrown out or removed to another place. If you have not used something for a year, feel free to throw it away, sell it, give away any "what if it comes in handy." In extreme cases, send to the pantry, closet.
Trash
Many in the kitchen have a separate box or bag with bags. Throw most of them into the trash and the next time you go to the store, buy a canvas bag, not a bag. It takes up minimal space and is more environmentally friendly. You can also often find food boxes, egg trays, and mountains of plastic bottles in the kitchen. All this is unlikely to be useful to you, but the place is considerable.
Of the bottles in the house, you can leave 2-3 maximum, it is hardly more useful, of course, if you are not involved in the manufacture of crafts from them. The rest can be filled with water and put in a car or garage. Plastic food containers that remain after delivery will also be redundant. Most often, they do not use them at all. Therefore, you can safely and should be sent to the trash can immediately after the meal, and not accumulate "in reserve".
Items from other rooms
Often in the kitchen you can find foreign objects that are not intended for cooking. For example, chairs from another room, toys, accessories, a vase, a laptop or tablet. All this should be in the living room. Take all the excess items to the rooms, where they belong.
Remember! If you take an object from another room and bring it to the kitchen, do not forget to take it to its place after using it so as not to create a mess.
Unused equipment
Many owners like to purchase various household appliances. For example, a combine harvester, a meat grinder, a blender, a toaster, etc. However, half of this technique is not used at all and just takes up space on a shelf. Choose from all devices, only those that you use most often. And all the rest, put them in a closet or sell as unnecessary.
Note: do not forget about small household appliances that lie or stand in the cabinet. Focus on your lifestyle. If you like natural juices or smoothies, then you should not far remove the blender, juicer. If you often cook the grill, then the grill machine should also be left in an accessible place.
Excess dishes
In addition to the necessary utensils, often on the kitchen shelves there are a bunch of mugs, glasses and plates, which are used only on holidays or during the arrival of guests. Go through all the dishes, and leave only the one that is used regularly. The remaining items can be removed away. Plates, glasses, glasses, cutlery for serving can also be sorted out.
Pots, pans, etc. should not lie on the countertop. For them, you need to allocate a separate cabinet. To save space, nail hooks to the lids on the cabinet door. And put all the pots on top of one another.
Mass of dust and grease decor
On the refrigerator and other shelves are often magnets, figurines and other souvenirs, supposedly decorating the room, but in fact collecting dust, taking up space. Many housewives love fresh flowers in pots in large quantities. In this case, it is appropriate not to place the pots on all possible surfaces, but to purchase one beautiful whatnot for flowers and make a “green corner”. Everyone else needs to be moved to a balcony or another room. Decor in the form of artificial flowers, panels, paintings, figurines, books will also be superfluous in the kitchen. Such items collect dust and grease, it is better to get rid of them.
Cosmetics
Many housewives prefer to gather in the kitchen, and for some this reality is dictated by small-sized housing. There is always good lighting and there is a table for convenience. Therefore, most of the cosmetics, most often, remains in this room, where it does not belong. Makeup should be in the bathroom or bedroom, but certainly not in the room where the food is prepared. Also do not forget that you need to remove creams, mirrors, masks and other body and face care products.
Things, clothes, bags
In the room where they cook and eat, there is no place for clothes, bags and extra things. Most often, the kitchen in an apartment or house is small. Extra items only clutter her up. Bags should be stored in the dressing room, other things in the closets of the rooms.
Clothes Dryer
How familiar this is - a clothesline stretched along the entire kitchen for drying clothes. If the apartment is small in size and does not have a balcony, a dryer is often placed in the kitchen, as there is no room for it in another room. However, in the kitchen such items should not be. Fold and move the dryer to another room or bathroom. A large coil will help save space and dry a lot of material. Now you can install a coil the size of the entire wall, from floor to ceiling and dry everything there, down to blankets.
To conveniently and compactly equip a room, you should adhere to the following tips:
- Prefer L-shaped and U-shaped kitchen designs. They save a lot of space, and are very spacious due to the corners in which additional shelves are installed;
- An open plan would be a great alternative to small spaces. If possible, you can connect the two rooms and make a bar or wall with shelves;

- Open shelves are an excellent solution for small spaces. They can always be quickly put in order. In addition, beautifully set dishes will serve as a great decoration.
The kitchen is one of the main rooms in the apartment. It is intended not only for cooking, but also for gatherings, meals, meeting friends. Therefore, the mess in the room is simply unacceptable. To make a room more spacious, first of all you need to get rid of excess items and trash. They only take place, and do not bring any benefit. Of the necessary things, only kitchen appliances, dishes, household appliances and other cooking appliances should remain.
