3. Don’t store it, sink it

One of the biggest spots in any kitchen is the one under your sink. Unfortunately, most people think it needs to be reserved for trash bags, bug spray and old dishwasher soap. The space under your sink can be used for more than just cleaning supplies; adding a few simple storage trays can transform a drab sink into an incredibly useful one. Organize your kitchen cabniets by placing your pots, pans, sheets as well as other knickknacks underneath. Just don’t blame us when your garbage disposal starts to leak.

4. Can't stand the neat? Get out of the kitchen!!!

With a little creativity, you can turn any space into storage space. These are just a few ways to declutter your kitchen and save a little space, but the possibilities are endless. Now that you’ve got your kitchen covered, why not start on the rest of the house? Remember, a little decluttering goes a long way.
