A small revision in the kitchen will help free up additional space.
If your food prep space feels crowded, it's time to take a look at the items stored there.
Many of them simply take up extra space but do not bring any benefit.
Containers
Cracked, old, too dirty or simply unnecessary – all these containers are time to be disposed of. It is worth keeping only those containers that are really needed.
Mugs
Sometimes the cupboard with dishes seems overcrowded precisely because of the large number of mugs. About a third of them are used very rarely or never get their turn at all.
It is better to leave only those mugs that are needed every day, and move the rest to a sideboard or another more convenient place.
Cookbooks
Favorite recipes can be saved on your smartphone, and books can be moved to a bookcase or taken to the library if they are no longer needed.
