Although the kitchen is a corner that is easily forgotten, the kitchen also needs to be neat and orderly so that people can enjoy a good cooking environment.
There are still many items that are needed in the kitchen. If you want the kitchen to be tidy, you need to store it. So, how should kitchen items be stored?
Let’s take a look!
1. Basic principles of kitchen storage. I remember that I went to visit relatives in the United States two years ago. The house of my relatives was so big, the kitchen was so big, and the refrigerator was huge. It contained enough food for a family of three to feed a family of three for two weeks.
There is also a special food pantry, which is also stocked with food for 2 weeks.
I was curious and asked: What should I do if I can’t finish the food?
Answer: Just throw it away and buy a new one.
The great abundance of materials on the other side of the ocean opened my eyes and made me sigh with admiration.
Returning to my own home in reality, my husband and I currently live in a small apartment of less than 50 square meters.
The kitchen area is limited, but fortunately, although the majong is small, it can still have all the essentials.
How to arrange and manage the items in each area requires a lot of thinking.
When it comes to things that can be used in the kitchen, there are so many kinds of things.
If you want to make the kitchen presentable, you really need some wisdom.
Wisdom often comes from experience in life, and is accumulated through slow attempts.
My definition of kitchen storage is: everything is neat, streamlined, and everything is in its place.
Naturally, heavy items should be placed at the bottom, and light and easy-to-reach items should be placed at the top.
Only keep the items that can be used now, you can find what you need in the shortest time, easily prepare a delicious meal, and restore the kitchen to its original state as quickly as possible after the meal.
2. The order of organizing kitchen items. If you want to have a satisfactory kitchen, you must first streamline and then store.
The proportion of downsizing is to leave 20% of empty space in each cabinet instead of endless purchasing and storage of items.
The areas that usually need the most organization are the space on the stove, the space above the sink, and the refrigerator.
Because these areas are places with relatively high usage rates.
Where items are used more frequently, clutter is more likely to accumulate.
3. Place items in different places 1) The space under the sink There is bound to be some moisture under the sink, so you can place some water-related items.
For example, the water quality in big cities is generally not up to standard.
Many families will consider purchasing a water purifier. The space under the sink in my house contains the unit and water storage tank of such a water purifier.
In addition, there is just enough space to store a few heavier items.
2) Cabinets and drawers under the stove. It is recommended to place kitchen utensils related to cooking under the stove, such as woks, steamers, and rice cookers.
It is relatively dry under the stove, and you can also store some rice and beans.
I like to put different beans together in an A4-sized storage box.
Convenient for daily use.
4. Home storage methods 1. Use vertical space.
Free up floor space for people to use and store things high up.
2. The furniture style is simple.
Furniture with bright colors, less decoration, and simple shapes can reduce crowding and clutter.
Suggested approach: Customize an entire wall into a storage cabinet. The arrangement of partitions, drawers, and hooks in the cabinet can be carefully considered in advance according to personal habits.
The color of the cabinet door is simple and bright, the board surface is flat, and a handle-less design can be considered (to avoid being scratched by clothes during daily activities).
1. Don’t keep things that shouldn’t be kept.
2. The storage space is part of the entire indoor space. It cannot be stored solely for the sake of storage. Simply put, it must look good.
3. The design of the storage space should follow the principle of simplicity. Do not add partitions here and there for no reason, as this will affect normal use.
4. Reduce fixed storage cabinets and use more flexible movable furniture to expand storage space.
5. Throw it away.
