It's in the box

Your kitchen doesn't have to be as tidy as in the brochures. And with good reason: it's where you cook. But it is possible to maintain order with a few tricks.
To create visual calm, I hide all the household products in the cupboard. If space gets tight, I find other ways to put everything in one place. Sometimes all it takes is a few storage tricks to create more structure. That way I can save myself expensive bespoke installations.
Storage
For a harmonious overall look, liquids such as oil and vinegar can be decanted into dispensers, to avoid ugly supermarket packaging in short. Ceramic ones are available to match your crockery. For greater cleanliness and aesthetic appeal on the worktop, it's best to store food such as bread in a suitable box. There are also chic items with wooden lids that double up as chopping boards.
Ceramic containers are super practical. Whether in floral or graphic designs, decorative butter dishes are a superb replacement for paper or plastic packaging, not only in the kitchen, but also on the dining table.

Instead of being wrapped, fruit and vegetables that don't need to be kept fresh can be placed in elegant bols ou boîtes en bois. The variants with lids are stackable, saving space. The boxes also make bulky trinkets disappear with a certain elegance. Place transparent storage boxes behind closed doors and opaque ones on open shelves! Unusual patterns will enhance the room.
Staging utensils
The flower pots have a warmer look than chrome-plated steel containers. Use them to store objects such as spoons, for example! The same goes for rolls of household paper. On a delightful wooden or brass roll holder, they're an eye-catcher. Plastic or chrome steel dispensers often appear cold. Bottles of washing-up liquid are rarely aesthetically pleasing. By decanting their contents into a soap dispenser, the area around your sink will be restored to its former glory.
paper and cardboard
The storage baskets and laundry baskets store paper and textiles. Choose a model with a handle so you can hang it on the wall and take it with you wherever you go! For old paper, choose a magazine rack! Modern objects, similar to their artistic counterparts, will highlight the content. Ditto for details; even if they're not the most obvious storage solution, they're always at your service. Use the lowest level to store old paper or boxes containing cardboard! For collecting used bottles, think of crates!
By grouping the cans together and reducing the colours, your interior will look more harmonious. Just make sure they're opaque and match the colour of the room to create instant visual consistency!
