Kitchen update
. Reassess how you use your storage. Sometimes reorganizing can be just as refreshing as introducing new elements to your kitchen. A really useful method of doing this is by reclassifying what you have. I tend to group items by use — cutlery, mugs, saucepans, baking ingredients, cereal boxes and so on. Then I look at how they’re being stored right now, and whether that’s the most accessible or practical place for them. Anything on the heavy side shouldn’t really be stored up high, as it’s so much harder to take those items down safely. Big bowls, pans and large appliances work best in cabinet drawers or other base-level storage, whereas stackable and lighter items (baking trays and cake pans) aren’t as cumbersome to move and can go higher. Maybe you have spices jumbled on a shelf in an upper cabinet. How about moving them into a drawer where they can easily be seen and won’t waste as much space?
