Happy Spring Cleaning!
Spring is here, and there’s no better time to refresh and reorganize your home! Two of the most used spaces in any home—the kitchen and bathroom—can quickly become cluttered, making it harder to find what you need and maintain a clean, functional space. Follow this guide to declutter, optimize storage, and maintain your cabinetry like a pro!
Declutter & Purge
Before you start organizing, it’s essential to declutter your cabinets. Here’s how:
Empty Everything Out – Take everything out of your cabinets so you can see what you’re working with. This also gives you a chance to wipe down shelves and drawers.
Sort & Categorize – Group similar items together (e.g., baking supplies, spices, skincare products, etc.) to see if you have duplicates or expired items.
Purge Unnecessary Items – Be honest about what you actually use. Toss expired pantry goods, donate unused kitchen gadgets, and discard old beauty products. If you haven’t used it in the past year, chances are you don’t need it!
Smart Storage Solutions
Now that you've decluttered, it’s time to create an organized system that works for your daily routine.
Kitchen Cabinet Organization:
Use Clear Containers & Labels – Store dry goods in clear bins or jars to keep ingredients fresh and easily visible
Install Shelf Risers & Dividers – Maximize vertical space by using shelf risers for plates and stackable bins for snacks.
Lazy Susans for Accessibility – Perfect for spices, oils, and condiments in deep cabinets.
Drawer Organizers for Utensils – Keep cutlery, measuring spoons, and other small tools neatly separated.
Bathroom Cabinet Organization:
Utilize Drawer Dividers – Keep makeup, toiletries, and grooming tools sorted. Over-the-Door Storage – Hang organizers inside cabinet doors for extra space. Stackable Bins for Cleaning Supplies – Avoid clutter under the sink by using stackable bins to store products. Use a Turntable for Bottles – Great for organizing skincare and haircare products!
