Good afternoon dear friends!

Indeed, according to statistics, the time spent on cleaning the work surface, washing and "laying out" all items and accessories involved in cooking significantly exceed the duration of the main process cooking. Here is such an unhappy cycle of being in the kitchen! Therefore, in order to break this unpleasant circle at the initial stage of organizing your kitchen, I prepared 5 practical tips!

And if you use at least some of the tips below, then the effort and time that you had to spend earlier on putting your kitchen in order will be significantly reduced, and the culinary process will become a pleasant pastime for you.

1.Working "triangle"

. Sink, stove and refrigerator - these are the three main "whales" on which the whole kitchen life rests! Therefore, their location should be correct and handy so that you do not have to run from refrigerator to stove or from sink to refrigerator. But you shouldn't put them next to each other either, so try to leave a gap between them, at least 30-35 cm.

It's not exactly a triangle, but I think the meaning is clear!

Let this gap be made in the form of an additional working surface (for example, countertops), which at the moment you need will become a sort of "transshipment" base between the main "points destination ".

2.Flooring. In this case, it is worth stopping your desire for the beautiful and aesthetic, giving the palm to practical materials. So, the floor in the cooking area or in the kitchen as a whole should be easy to clean and impervious to physical exertion (and even damage). For example, tiles, quartz laminate, etc.

Visual and very beautiful zoning.

And it's also good if the flooring is made of large fragments, i.e. without frequent seam joints. After all, they are potential "keepers" of fatty deposits and dust accumulations.

3.Wall decoration. The walls, especially the backsplash above the stove and worktop, are constantly exposed to steam, grease and temperature changes. And there is not always time to immediately clean the surface of such contamination. And in this "case" every minute is precious! Therefore, you should not use beautiful paper, textile wallpapers or matte paint, which after only an hour will be almost impossible to wash!

Nothing extra...

Give preference to glossy detergent paint or tile. Since such a finishing material is easy to clean, it is heat-resistant and "saturated" in the choice of colors!

4.Material for kitchen set. Agree?! In the kitchen, hands are always busy, which means that a priori they cannot be sterile clean. And when you open the doors of the kitchen set, made in gloss, in dark shades or, as an option, in stainless steel, you cannot avoid prints! You can, of course, wash such a surface, but how much time and effort will it take for you? That's another question!

Fresh, aesthetic and functional.

But light shades and a matte surface of kitchen furniture will not only facilitate general cleaning in the kitchen, but will also help you to mask the traces of such touches for a while.

5.Storage in the kitchen. Take your time and think very carefully about this practical aspect! Since the kitchen always lacks storage space. Therefore, try to use not only closed roomy cabinets and hidden drawers, but also open shelves, rails, storage containers... At the same time, not forgetting about the correct location of all kinds of kitchen utensils.

As you can imagine, these are not all "corners" where you can store kitchen utensils.

Seemingly little things! But at the same time, all these nuances and subtleties, together, can significantly save a lot of time and effort to maintain your kitchen in perfect condition.
