Get More Out of Your Small Kitchen by Keeping Your Countertops Clean
Trying to cook food in a tiny kitchen can be incredibly frustrating because you have no room for anything. However, if you reserve the countertop just for food preparation, you may be able to ease that frustration a little.
There is nothing wrong with decorating your kitchen, but the more you leave outdoors, the less room you will have for useful items. That’s why Cambria Bold at The Kitchn invites you to stop using counters as storage or decoration:
Keep your countertops completely clean and reserved solely for cooking. This means no storage space, no small household appliances, no extraneous decor, nothing. Cooking countertops, period.
Store your equipment in a closet. Place the knives on the magnetic strip on the wall instead of the knife block. Save decorative knick-knacks for other rooms. Finally, try to remove something, not put it off . Flat surfaces are clutter traps, so don’t let this happen to you. You will be much happier and have more room to slice, dice, cook, and cook.
