5 Extra Things in the Kitchen That Just Take Up Space: How to Free Up Much-Needed Kitchen Space

A cluttered kitchen can discourage you from spending time there and cooking something delicious.
Fortunately, as designer Yulia Tychino, an expert for the online publication BelNovosti, told us, in order to free up space in the kitchen, you only need to get rid of five unnecessary things.
As a result, the room will become much more spacious, and cooking will be a pleasure. The most important thing is not to spare things that only clutter your home.
Plastic containers
Without a doubt, food storage containers made of plastic provide an airtight seal and protect food from odors in the refrigerator, and are also convenient for carrying lunch to work or school.
However, over time, such containers can absorb strong odors that are difficult to get rid of, and they can also turn yellow. Do not feel sorry for such products; it is better to throw them in the trash. Also, do not store containers that have lost their lids, as they take up space in the kitchen, but have no practical value.
Portioned trifles
Sometimes we buy hot drinks from the coffee shop and with them packets of sugar. If the sweetener is not used up, it migrates to our home – along with mini versions of soy sauce and ginger left over from sushi delivery, and other small portions.
If you have such "samples" in your kitchen, it is better to throw them away, because they will most likely remain unused for a long time.
Old sponges
Some housewives use old dish sponges to clean other surfaces, but this is not a very good idea.
Firstly, such sponges usually just lie around unused and clutter up the kitchen. Secondly, they are the dirtiest items in the house, as billions of bacteria accumulate on them, without exaggeration.
Expired spices
Remember that spices also have an expiration date. If they are left open for longer than the time stated on the package, they will begin to lose their flavor and aroma, so be sure to check the expiration date and throw out any expired spices.
Worn out towels
Even the most careful housewife's kitchen towels lose their beauty over time. Frequent use and regular washing make them worn out.
Don't try to save on such trifles, and if the textiles look worn, replace them with new ones.
Earlier, the expert told how to improve the appearance of the kitchen with the help of a simple wooden board.
