When you get home from the store after shopping, you may find that you lack storage space in your home. Or maybe you do not lack but you do not know how to take advantage of it well to have everything in order. Perhaps it is one of the people who when they come home with cereals or dry foods, leave them in their bags ... or maybe put them in airtight containers ... the difference is remarkable in terms of order.
In addition to being able to break open packages and drop everything inside, they look messy and if they are poorly closed there may be unwanted visitors in your home who want to eat your food when you do not realize it. These are just some of the consequences of leaving packages in your cupboards, instead of transferring them to airtight containers.
It is not necessary to have a lot of space in your pantry, you simply have to find a way that the space is practical and that allows you to store everything you need, in an orderly way and above all, in a hygienic way to ensure the good condition of your food (I mean the dry ones). Next I want to give you more tips so that you can make the most of the storage spaces in your kitchen and in your home.
Use the top of the fridge
The upper area of the refrigerator is the most underused area of the home, so it is important to learn how to use it. There are people who have the refrigerator too empty, so it is necessary to have an intentional storage in mind. Instead of leaving the shelf empty or putting things in another place, you need to assign a space in your fridge to each thing, put labels at the beginning if necessary to get in the habit of good order.
In addition, you can also create zones in your fridge that will help you recognize when there is food in bad condition that takes up more space. You can have specific areas for things like veggies, fruits, meat, condiments, or leftovers to make it easier to remember how long you've been there. It seems obvious but many people forget to organize the refrigerator well and there are things that are forgotten and deteriorate. The world is not here to throw away food! No more discovering a place in the fridge that is all covered in mold.
Readjust your shelves
The shelves are good allies for the order of the home and more of the kitchen. For all this it is important that you have the appropriate shelves in each place. If they are too high you will not be able to reach comfortably so you should find a comfortable height for you and that is also practical. Most of the shelves are adjustable, for this reason you would not have problems adapting the shelves to your needs, This way you will avoid becoming a slave to them just by not changing their place.
Create your own shelves
If you still have space that you can take advantage of in your kitchen or in other spaces, then do not hesitate to adjust other shelves to the space to help you have better storage space. Make sure that the depth of the shelf is adequate to be able to store flat objects such as trays or tablecloths. Think in which area of your kitchen or elsewhere in your home you prefer to add shelves and visualize if it would be a good option or if the opposite could be more of a hindrance.
A turntable
Turntable trays will make a difference in terms of order in your home. It is a useful ally that will help you save space in a closet and you can put anything you want to have on hand. Ideally, use it for spices, oils, or condiments. Nothing will remain hidden and you will be able to know where you have everything at all times.
Industrial containers
Commercial storage spaces often use three-walled containers that are very easy to fit anywhere. They are stable and stackable, so they are a good solution for items that are long and short like a box of spaghetti or whatever else you think would be a good idea to store in these containers. These containers can be put on shelves, hung on the wall or even stored in a closet. What matters is that you can save what you need and have it on hand, they are excellent for storing small things.
Don't be afraid to stack things
Some foods such as bottles or cans can be stored in a stacked way, thus saving space and you can have them on hand. Instead of putting all your yogurts on the fridge shelf, a great idea is to stack them three high to get more horizontal space in your fridge and also, are ordered and always have them at hand. This will save much more space than you imagine.
Seize the back of the doors
The back of doors can be a great place for extra storage space. It is a creative area to hang items by adding a few hooks. You can in this way, optimize the space and use the inside of a closet door to take advantage of or even the back of the door of the kitchen or your bedroom. It is an area that if you do not overcrowd but if you order, you can put hanging items and thus save their place in another space.
