Storage and Organization in Kitchen Design
• When most of you think of good kitchen design, you probably think of fabulous appliances, gorgeous cabinetry, and beautiful floors and countertops. But they are not half of it – though they will collectively claim the lion’s share of your budget. Good kitchen design is about two far-less glamorous ingredients – kitchen organization and storage. • Just consider the benefits: smart storage and organization can save you enormous amounts of time and effort every week. Whether you are making a school lunch or preparing a dinner party, having what you need where you need it will speed the task. • Imagine: no more digging around in a jam-packed drawer for a knife to cut a sandwich or sorting through a pile of clippings for a favorite recipe. • A well-ordered kitchen, in which working is a pleasure, is also one where you’re more likely to spend time working. In an era when many parents rely on fast food to feed their families, more meals at home can mean more nutritious, healthier diets – not to mention saving thousands of Rupes a year on eating out. • Make the most of your kitchen space. • Think “SIZE” before you buy anything for your kitchen. • Consider kitchen appliances that store. • Accessibility is important in kitchen organization. • Good lighting makes it easier to see what you need.
