Hello World! Welcome Friends! It is common to get bored of your kitchen or to become frustrated with it. But if you don’t have the time or money to go through a major renovation, what do you do? You probably feel very stuck, frustrated, and lost.
It doesn’t have to be that way though! There are things you can do that will help you change how you feel about your kitchen, and not cost you a fortune. Sometimes it is about your mindset, and sometimes things just need to change. Whatever it is, it can be resolved.
To help you on your journey, here are some top tips to help you change how you feel about your kitchen.
Think About What You Want Your Kitchen For
This might sound obvious – of course, it is to cook in. But be more specific when thinking about this question. Do you want to come home to a clean kitchen and have the equipment and space to be able to cook meals from scratch for your family? Do you want a more functional, spacious, and luxury area to be able to host dinners for your friends and family? Do you want a bright and open kitchen to be able to enjoy your morning coffee in peace? Think hard about what you want your kitchen for, as this will make a huge difference to how you feel about it and the next steps that you take.
Conduct an Inventory
Once you are clear on what it is you want to do with your kitchen space, you should start by taking an inventory of your kitchen. This will help you to see what you have and what you need to invest in, so you can meet your goals. You will be able to see what space you have and give you a chance to re-order everything for functionality. You should consider what in your kitchen is working and what isn’t. It is also important to consider the condition of your appliances and how well you look after them. The last thing you want is for your clothes dryer to not be functioning, and it takes up space. It can then add more stress to your plate if you are putting off getting your dryer repaired and when you cannot do your washing or use your kitchen for what is needed. In this case, you should consider what appliances need attention and what needs replacing or removing. You can also see what is on its way out, so you can get it started before it breaks. This list of appliances will help take away stress and give you a to do list to get on with.
Declutter the Space
It can be cathartic to declutter your space. Your kitchen has likely been stocked with lots of stuff and clutter over the years, and that can be a major cause of stress for some people. Clutter can build and you may not be able to explain why your kitchen feels stressful. When you have a cluttered kitchen, it makes it very difficult to think clearly or enjoy being in the space, it makes it harder to clean, to find things, and to cook. Be ruthless, get rid of things you don’t want or need, and keep the space clear and minimal.
Clean It
A good clean can make you feel a lot better about your kitchen. Take some time during your inventory sessions and decluttering to pull everything out and clean all the cupboards, floors, corners, fridge and freezer, doors and cupboards, and everything that you can lay eyes on. This can make it feel like a brand-new space to use.
When you combine a clear-out, decluttering, and a clean in your kitchen, it can feel like a completely fresh and different space to utilize.
