Identify

Look around your kitchen and pantry and identify the problem areas.

Dreaded junk drawer that needs a compartmentalized drawer or pull-out?
Baskets can be put into the pantry for a storage solution?
Cleaning Supplies might require a custom shelving.
Mismatched Tupperware disorganized and in inconvenient locations.
Spices that you can’t see or reach.
Trash cans that need to be hidden out of sight.
Appliances everywhere or scattered all over the kitchen and pantry tucked away to well to find or use.
Items that should be grouped ending up all over so you don’t even remember what you have to use.
Bundles of items that are becoming a health hazard when you walk into the room or pantry that need a better and safer home?
Pots, pans and lids – are they neatly organized together for efficiency and tidiness?
Glasses and mugs – great place to start with the minimalistic style.
Utensils thrown in numerous drawers with no rhyme or reason?
Seasonal storage gone crazy and when that particular seasonal items comes around on the calendar, you unfortunately can’t find the items for that season.

Declutter

Look around and start unloading the clutter.

Appliances – Offload your unused appliances in the quickest and most convenient way possible. Sell new and like-new items on eBay, Facebook, LetGo or Craigslist. Give items away to your local charity. Or, just put it in the trash. It is better than taking up valuable space with items that you don’t use or that are not working.
Pantry Items – Check expiration dates or see what jars, can, bags, etc. you don’t use or have been sitting there in the same space for years. Get a trashcan and start pitching. It will be good for your health too!
Countertops – Can you even see them? Containers should be in the cabinets or pantry. Knives can come out of the large wooded blocks and put into drawers. Small appliances can be put away when not in use.

These are just a few ideas. Consult with a Custom Kitchen and Pantry Storage expert to find out some more and get the job done so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful heart of your home.
