A shelve in a kitchen closet. Not ideal in its current state; you cannot see all the labels of the products and so you don't know exactly what you have. ..Time for a little reorganizing project!
BEFORE:
As a Professional Organizer I am constantly looking for ways to improve organization, for clients but as well in my own home. Having an organized home doesn't happen overnight! It takes time to do a good declutter session and organize your things. My advice is always; start small, do one project at at time and take your time to do the several projects you have in mind. In this case I took the time to critically look at this kitchen cabinet and it’s shelf space.
Sometimes you don't have the right space to put your stuff in and then you can look for ways and materials to organize your things. Very important is to use the space and volume that you have as efficiently as possible.
This was the case in this kitchen cabinet: A lot of 'air' (or unused space) above the cans, and you could not properly see what kind of cans were in stock. Which resulted in probably buying too much of the same thing.
Make your products visible: Seeing your products one by one is very important in organizing. Seeing what you have in one glimpse, will save you time - as you don't have to pick up or move things to see what's underneath or behind it - and once you see every product, you will not mistakenly buy more of that product than you need.
So.. looking at the situation on the shelf and unused space in that cabinet I knew what to do: go up in the air with the cans!
I discussed my wish with my son, who happens to be both handy and creative, and after some measurements he made a wonderful 'can stand' for me. Exactly what was needed in this space.
The AFTER result:
Yes! Very happy with this new lay-out in this closet. Everything is visible. No more buying too much of one particular product and while making your shopping list you can exactly see what's needed.
Can you guess what they ate that night and will not be on the shopping list for a while?
