Do you have a small kitchen and want to beautify it? Here`s how. First identify the cabinets available in your kitchen. Do you want to put in new ones or rearrange whats already available? For new ones, scan the market for options. If you need to rearrange whats available, make sure to keep the move flexible in case you want to change the dimensions of the storage units at a later date.
Make a list of all the staples that you will need - rice, atta, pulses. Calculate how much space you will need for these. Keep a space that is easy to access as you will use these more often. Keep things like coffee, tea and sugar at an easily accessible place that is also easy to locate. This way, anyone who enters the kitchen will get what they need.
A masala dabba is the easiest way to store spice powders. If you don`t like them, use small bottle made of glass or plastic to store them neatly on a shelf. This shelf should be near the cooking area, to make it accessible during cooking.
Segregate the cutlery and the crockery. Also segregate the utensils you need for cooking. Plan your storage cabinets depending on the volume of these vessels.
Remember to stick to your budget. Observe the material you will be using and then calculate cost accordingly. Make sure to decide on the number of shelves and cabinets you need before making your purchase. Also, decide the size of each shelf. Use colours to make the kitchen bright and cheerful.
