TIDYING UP YOUR KITCHEN

- By Meg Adonis @INQ_Property

A disorganiz­ed kitchen often becomes the Bermuda Triangle of the household: suddenly, the soup ladle is nowhere to be seen from the clutter of silverware on the countertop, messily stacked condiments unnecessar­ily prolong lunch prep time, and cleaning materials and chemicals are sometimes mixed with snacks, within a child’s reach.

With the pandemic forcing entire families to stay at home, chaos in the kitchen is inevitable. But this should not be the case for homeowners who want to prioritize efficiency and safety while making sure that they can move freely in a tidy home.

Wilcon Depot suggests these essentials that could drasticall­y turn your messy kitchen into the most organized room in your house.

CUTLERY HOLDER

Save time by getting a cutlery holder that separates your utensils by category inside easily accessible drawers. This way, you will know exactly where your cutleries are.

UNDER-SINK ORGANIZER

Remove dishwashin­g soaps, cleaning materials, disinfecta­nts and other hazardous essentials from plain sight and keep them under the kitchen sink. You can organise these through the Home Basics under-sink organizer, which can separate spare sponges, kitchen cloths and cleaning materials.

TWO-TIER DISH RACK

Spare yourself the trouble of walking around the kitchen while water drips from the plates to the floor after washing. Get yourself a two-tier dish rack that you can place right beside the sink. Just make sure to regularly drain the tray that catches the water underneath.

THREE-TIER CAN ORGANIZER

Maximize your cupboard space with a three-tier can organizer which allows you to easily see what you have in your storage and check out their expiration dates.

GLASS CANISTER WITH WOODEN LID

Make your kitchen more aesthetic with the Heim threepiece glass jar with wooden lids, where you can store coffee, sugar and cream. It comes in a metal basket for that uncluttere­d look.

PLASTIC BAG SAVER

Store your unused plastic bags in a wall-mounted saver, comes with two openings for easier access. If it’s time to change garbage bags, pull out one from the plasjust tic bag saver instead of digging through drawers.

WALL-MOUNTED 2-IN-1 ORGANIZER

This 2-in-1 wall-mounted organizer is the perfect addition to your kitchen: it can hold paper towels without taking up too much space, while the metal organizer on top can also hold other kitchen essentials.

CONDIMENT SERVER

Ideal for intimate celebratio­ns, the Frigidaire chilled condiment server can hold up to four types of dips, toppings, condiments and, yes, even ice cream. It comes with an ice compartmen­t at the bottom to keep your food cool and fresh throughout the gathering.

STORAGE BASKET

Keep your soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup and mustard all in one place with an all-around storage basket. It comes with a partial opening that can double as a handle.

BREAD BOX

A stainless steel bread box will help you satisfy your cravings for days because it preserves freshness of your bread and pastries, and the aromatic flavors that complete the experience.
