Help! I reside in a studio apartment and lack of storage.. I have some many food storage containers. I try to stalk them neatly with tops and once I try to get a food containers out off the self they all fall out..what storage idea do you have for me to keep my food containers to from falling out..
I don’t have one right now.
But what i see is nice
not all of us have large walk in pantries or can reach cabinets that run to the ceiling. Many uppers are small and have limited storage so small unused items get placed there. Look at spices. My wife must have close to 40 spices and many are in various sized containers. Too many storage suggestions make a hand full of spices look great and organized when they are all in a few same sized bottle. In real life this is not how it works. Putting some items in large containers half full just take up a lot of real estate. A real kitchen has various dishes, platters appliances, small grinders, blenders, air fryer, toaster, coffee maker and assorted pots and pans. So would like to say ideas in the article are helpful but for a person who is disorganized will never fix their kitchen issues. Cabinets we fill up are inefficient, no adjustments and getting to items in bottom is a adventure. You need a ladder to get to top cabinets. Often smaller kitchens like mine have limited counter space, and a wife who is disorganized.
even in smaller kitchen of you have unused wall space you can utilize that space with free standing stainless shelves we use in restaurants. A larger piece of furniture can be used against the wall as a pep area, draws for storage, your coffee station or appliance spot. You can also use it as an island. I had a broom and utility closet across from kitchen entrance. My sister in law suggested we make it a pantry so I built shelves in it and solved a big problem. Biggest problem in any home is space. So get rid of anything you don’t really need or use.
Don’t be afraid to reorganize your kitchen and clean house as they say getting rid of unused items. As time goes by you’ll realize what you need to use frequently so set up your kitchen for those item’s. Makes your life so much easier. Keep a list of groceries you need close by. If you really feel organized one day make an inventory list of major items you use and keep on hand. That list will help you keep track of what you have and end duplicate purchases. This how we do it in professional food businesses so why not do it at home.
