It’s not housework it’s fun work – a kitchen declutter & organise in Essex!
I worked with a lovely couple in editing and organising their kitchen. The main issue was a lack of efficient storage systems, as there was no designated place for food, kitchenware or cleaning products!
The process
I removed and decluttered all the food items from the cupboards, checking use by dates as I went through each item.
I grouped food items by category – which makes it so much easier to find things, when all tin goods are grouped together, pasta etc.
Before placing the categorised and in-date food items back in the cupboards, I wiped down the inside of the cupboards with hot soapy water.
I created more space by removing items that my client no longer used and or did not live within the kitchen space. I was then able to rehome all the pots and pans (as they were being stored on the hob), into the cupboard above the built-in oven.
I also corralled all the kitchen cleaning products into one place, under the kitchen sink.
After the session and as part of my “after care service”, I emailed my client, a list of recommended products, at different price points, based on the discussions we had whilst decluttering and organising their kitchen. The items listed were to help keep the area organised, and also help them long term with food sustainability and keeping some of their kitchen ware neatly and safely stored. Key recommendations included, storage for their basic staples like pasta, rice and cereals, to keep the food items preserved for longer and easily accessible. Also, a cutlery drawer with built in knife holders, to store their vast collection of Thai knives.
