If you are holding onto containers that don’t have lids, they are simply taking up space since they won’t make effective food storage. But do you really love your mismatched containers and tupperware with missing lids? One of the easiest things to clear out of your kitchen is unnecessary tupperware. They say that if you love something, you should set it free. If you aren’t sure what to get rid of, we have 7 suggestions to kickstart your kitchen decluttering. So, how do you decide what to keep, and what to donate or throw away? As Marie Kondo would say, you should only keep objects that “spark joy.” In general, we suggest throwing away or donating objects that you haven’t touched in the last 6 months. As you get rid of stuff, you will likely gain happiness! In addition, the International Journal of Cognitive Therapy identified a significant correlation between clutter leading to increased feelings of stress and anxiety. This is problematic, as eating healthy, balanced meals is important for preventing obesity and maintaining heart health. However, did you know that allowing clutter to build can actually hurt your health? One study published in the Environment and Behavior journal found that overly cluttered kitchens create a sense of chaos that causes people to eat twice as many calories as they would if they were in a decluttered kitchen.
Over time, those take out menus you planned to save for later or those meal prep gadgets you thought you would use more than once end up taking up your valuable space.
With all the time we spend in the kitchen, it’s only natural for clutter to pile up around us. This is where we congregate to eat family dinners, cook our favorite meals, work on DIY projects, converse with our loved ones, and it is a central place for our kids to complete their homework. For many families, the kitchen is the heart of the home.
