For those people who want to start organizing their homes this year, the best place to start would be the cabinets. Clutter may not be present outside, but this doesn't mean that it is not present behind the closed cabinet doors. Making sure things are organized inside and outside storage spaces would add instant serenity in any home. Here are some clever tricks to boost cabinet space and efficiency inside the home.
According to Refined Rooms, the first cardinal rule in organizing cabinets is to focus on one cabinet at a time. Try to focus on one room first, may it be the kitchen, bathroom or the bedroom. It may be hard to tackle all the cabinets simultaneously as it can become too overwhelming.
The next thing to do is to evaluate all the stuff inside the cabinet. With that, Pop Sugar gave simple hacks to maximize cabinets' efficiency.
One tip is to line the inside of the cabinets with self-adhesive corkboard. Kitchen and mudroom cabinets would be a great place to pin schedules and your favorite recipes so they won't clutter the wall and the wall can be used for other purposes like building more storage spaces like open shelves. For kitchen cabinets, the site suggested painting the inside with a wild color for white dishware.
Placing labels will also help in effectively storing items like linens. Placing labels can help one identify pillow cases from bed sheets. But for those who are concerned in placing stacks of linens, there are shelf dividers available in the market to help you make sure that everything is neatly separated.
For pots and pans, which are very tricky to organize, opt for a lid organizer which can be found in many home department stores. For deep cabinets, installing metal cabinet drawers will make it easier to find items and keep them organized all the time.
