However, let’s get to the real picture – in our busy everyday life, we often don’t get to spend some time with ourselves let alone taking some time out every day to clean our kitchen. As a result, more often than not, our kitchen tends to become messy and cluttered. Are you too fed up of your cluttered kitchen but can’t follow the elaborate methods to clean and tidy the space up? Worry not, for in this article we shall share with you certain helpful yet easy ways to make your kitchen mess and stress-free.

Stress in one area at a time

While you are on the mission to clean your kitchen, do not start with the entire kitchen at the same time. Randomly cleaning shelves and grabbing stuff will just make the entire scenario more chaotic and cluttered. So, our advice is to just pick up one portion, clean it and then hop on to the next. Also, this selective cleaning will help you to clean your kitchen over a period of a few days – if you are an extremely busy person – rather than having to do it on a single day.

Question yourself if you use the object you pick up

While decluttering, for every object you pick up, ask yourself if you use that object. The question should not be if you shall use it in the future. We all have numerous appliances in our kitchens that we simply hoard up thinking of that one fine morning in the future when we might need it. As a result, we sometimes never end up using that thing – the object may be a pot or a spare toaster or even serving spoons and plates. Also, if you have got multiple pieces of the same thing (except those needed in bulk quantities), ask yourself if that extra piece is needed. Asking yourself questions as you go through your cleaning process will end up decluttering your kitchen like never before. Trust us, you will end up having a tidy kitchen with everything you need just in the right places.

Remove items that don’t belong in the kitchen

Often things end up at places where they don’t belong. And trust us, if you look around in your kitchen, you will get your hands on numerous other things. From magazines to rubber bands to empty packing boxes and even nail polishes, kitchens are always filled with items that don’t aid in the process of cooking at all. Identify those things and keep them in a separate box. Don’t try to relocate these right now, otherwise, you might lose track. Once you are done, automatically you will find your kitchen to be bigger and tidier than before.

1. Take one room at a time. Start by clearing the space

The thumb rule of decluttering is to take one room at a time. This will allow you clarity of thought, and take your own sweet time to complete the decluttering process. In case, you have to stop midway, you will have other rooms to fall back on. After you have chosen your room, clear the space. Again, a clear canvas is the best way to imagine and paint on. However, do not just dump all the items together, cluster similar items together. This will make it easier to sort later on.

2. Unleash your imagination, and create a vision for space

How do you want this room to look like? Do you want to rearrange the furniture and give this room a new makeover? Or, do you just want to declutter the area and keep the style akin to the previous one? Asking yourself these questions will help you decide what all items to eliminate and which all to keep.

3. Sort the items in two separate piles

Now, go through each cluster one by one, and segregate the items into two parts – a ‘Vision pile‘ and an ‘outdoor pile‘. The vision pile will comprise of items that you want to utilize further. The outdoor pile will consist of items that you are done with, and want to discard. If there are certain items that might not be of great use but you have great memories attached to it, you can keep it in the vision pile. After all, what’s a home without boundless of memories and emotions!

4. Donate items from the ‘outdoor pile’

Before you trash everything from the ‘outdoor pile‘, try and donate some things from that pile. These could be things that might work nicely but is of no use to you. For example, a beautiful black dress that has perhaps shrunk too much and does not fit you. It might be of great help to someone else. This step will also lower the amount of trash, thereby helping the environment in a small but vital way.

5. Redecorate the room from the final ‘vision pile’

Now that you have been successful in segregating the items based on your requirement, the canvas is all set to be painted in your favorite colors. Do up your room as you had visioned. You will be amazed how easy it will be now to neatly stack and arrange everything. So, all the best!
