7. Dry goods and the food pantry. To answer my sister’s question: Yes, if you have a pantry, put all your food there! Don’t spread it out in wall cabinets just because you have empty cabinets! Walking around opening doors looking for things you can’t find is one of the most annoying and frustrating things, and often keeps people from enjoying cooking. Less-used spices and sauces can go into the pantry, but put the items you use more often close to the stove. If you’re a baker, and you have the space, carve out a spot just for baking items like sugar, flour, etc. I have a client who truly has a sprinkle drawer!
Urban Loft – Storage Solutions Special case: Tupperware. What is it about plastic containers that makes them seem to multiply when you’re not looking (but hardly ever with a matching lid)? Start by removing any lids that don’t have mates, then count what you have left. Most of us probably have too many food storage containers — really, how many leftovers are you likely to wrap up at any given time?
Nantucket Bijoux Oils, vinegars, and taller spices - Imagine yourself cooking in your kitchen. Oils, vinegars, and items in taller spice jars, salt, condiments, sauces, etc. are nice to have in one cabinet to the left or right of the stove. You don’t necessary want to walk to the pantry to get these particular items every time you need them.
A well-defined catch-all space Daily life makes it impossible to have an organised home 24/7. Papers, keys, footwear, water bottles, bags and other various items tend to pile up quickly in certain areas. Avoid surface clutter by giving each of your things a designated home. Keys, mail, phone chargers and pens should all have a dedicated landing spot, whether it’s a full-fledged, built-in command centre, the back of a cabinet or organised space inside a closet.
