04.05.2024 - 10:35 / thespruce.com
Out of all the rooms in a home, a kitchen can be one of the hardest to declutter. Since kitchens are the hubs of most homes, it’s easy for clutter to accumulate over time.
But if you’re up for the task, cleaning up your kitchen can be easy, especially with the help of experts. We spoke with a few organizing pros to get the best tips to declutter your kitchen below.

If you want to declutter your kitchen thoroughly, you should first assess the space and craft a game plan.
Be on the lookout for problem areas that need to be addressed, like overflowing drawers or cramped countertops, says Michelle Parravani, professional organizer and owner of Design With Less.
Next, set goals, whether big or small. It can be to create more space, make areas more functional, or pare down on clutter.
Whatever your main goals may be, setting them can help keep you focused through the decluttering process, Christian Pfeiffer of Valley Organizing tells us.

One of the first things Barbara Brock, professional organizer and owner of Barbara Brock Inc., recommends to clients is to use boxes or bins to sort through the clutter with three goals in mind: keep, donate or sell, and toss.
Give yourself a few hours to go through each area of your kitchen and decide what you want to keep, donate, sell, and throw away.
Then, Brock says to move the donate or sell and throw away boxes out of the kitchen and into new boxes or trash bags, respectively. Go through the items you plan to keep and make sure to find them a home in the kitchen or elsewhere in the home.

Pinch your petunia and earth up your potatoes: A May to-do list to get your garden in shape for summer
In the arc of an Irish gardening year, May is the month of magical things. The first rose. The first swallow. The first properly hot day. The first beech tree in full leaf. The first sighting of wisteria in magnificent lilac bloom, draping itself languidly against a high, sunny wall. As nature flashes its brilliant feathers, it’s also our last real opportunity before summer finally arrives to make a substantial difference to our gardens or allotments, whether that’s filling them with fast-growing annuals to provide plenty of homegrown produce for the months ahead, planting up spectacular summer containers, or fine-tuning flower borders for maximum impact. With all of this in mind, here’s a handy little to-do list to help you stay on course.
