What is the secret of a neat and comfortable kitchen? In fact, it lies on the surface and consists of an empty (well, almost) and clean countertop.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino believes that only those items that you constantly need during cooking should be stored here.
Accordingly, all other things should be put away in cabinets and drawers. What are they? Here is a detailed list.
Rarely used devices
If you only make toast on weekends and use only a whisk to make the dough, then hide the toaster and mixer in the kitchen cabinet. Of course, this requirement does not apply to knives, cutting boards, spices, etc. - not a single day in the kitchen goes by without them.
Vegetable oil
No matter how often you use the oil, it should not be exposed to light. The right place for a bottle of vegetable oil is in the dark and cool.
Cookbook
Listen to the designer and equip at least a couple of open shelves in the kitchen - they are much better suited for storing cookbooks and magazines than the work surface. In such a place, culinary publications will be protected from water drops and greasy stains.
Bottles of wine
A collection of wine bottles can look really impressive, but you shouldn’t put them all over the countertop. There are several reasons: you can accidentally drop a container of wine on the floor and break it, and sunlight and temperature changes can harm the alcohol. The best solution is a special wine rack or bar cart.
