Get Better Use Out of a Small Kitchen by Keeping the Countertops Clear

This means no storage pieces, no small appliances, no extraneous decor, nothing.

Countertops are for cooking, period.

Keep your appliances organized in a cabinet.

Put your knives on a magnetic wall strip instead of a knife block.

Save the decorative knick-knacks for other rooms.

And lastly, make an effort toput something away, not put it down.

Flat surfaces are clutter traps, so dont let it happen to you.

Youll be much happier, and have more room to chop, cut, cook, and prep.
