Disorganized utensil drawers

A messy utensil drawer can make it frustrating to find the right tool. 

Use dividers or compartments to separate utensils and keep them neatly arranged.

Neglecting countertop space

Cluttering up your countertops with too many appliances, decorative items, or miscellaneous objects can make it difficult to prepare meals. 

Inefficient use of vertical space

Failing to utilize vertical space can lead to wasted storage opportunities. 

Install hooks or racks on walls or cabinet doors to hang utensils, pots, and pans. 

Poorly organized food storage

Incorrectly storing food items can lead to waste and spoilage. 

Overcrowded refrigerator and freezer

A crowded refrigerator and freezer can make it challenging to see and access items.
