]]>Start Small
They say that starting is always the hardest part. With that in mind, don’t go for the largest task first. Begin with a small area and work your way up to more overwhelming ones like defrosting the fridge.
Release and Recycle
Be honest—you still have containers with missing lids, leaking dishes, and broken appliances sitting in your cupboard taking up space. While we always have the intention to sort them out, it doesn’t always happen. Instead of holding out hope, just let them go. Donate them, sell them, whatever you do, just say goodbye.
Get Grouping
One of the best ways to stay organized is by storing similar items together and keeping countertops clear. Place containers with mixing bowls and jars, and pots and pans with roasting trays. Not only will this prevent clutter, but it will also make it much easier to find whatever you’re looking for.

]]>Research has found that some kitchen sinks are actually dirtier than toilet bowls. Ew! This is due to the buildup of old food and waste in the sink that lives in the sponges and on the sink surfaces. Some people suggest having two kitchen sponges—one for clearing plates and one for actually cleaning the dishes once they’ve been cleared.
This sponge does all the heavy lifting. Whether a dish is being cleared to go in the dishwasher, or you plan to wash it by hand, make sure to use this sponge to get all the food particles off before you go in with the next sponge.
The cleaning sponge is the sponge that should be kept in the best condition. It should really only be coming in contact with soap, water, and mostly clean dishes. This will prevent food waste from building up and generating germs within the sponge, so it actually leaves the dishes clean and ready to use!

]]>The kitchen is a hub where people tend to gather, be it guests or those living in the home. It can often be thought of as the heart. Thus, when it comes to adding color to the space, there are a few colors to avoid.
Spiritual experts recommend not using blue when painting the walls of your kitchen. That’s because the hue is associated with water and the kitchen is an area where fire reigns.
Black
Dark hues such as black and brown can denote dirt or mold, which you definitely don’t want in a space where food is being prepared. Black can also symbolize death and is considered unlucky in many cultures.
Gray
Gray is another color that can be considered as unlucky. The hue contradicts feelings of safety and security, and seeing as there are many sharp objects in the kitchen, feeling safe is imperative.
