Nowhere attracts clutter quite like kitchen countertops – despite our best efforts, it seems a pile of random objects on the island or dining table is inevitable. But physical clutter is mental clutter that causes us stress, so it pays to find ways to keep counters clear when organising the kitchen, especially if you are blessed with a smaller space.
Organised kitchen counters make everyday cooking easier, and make for a more pleasant environment in general, whether you're enjoying a morning latte, or making a quick working-from-home lunch. It also leaves space for thoughtful styling touches, from a cosy kitchen lamp to a live basil plant in an attractive pot to make a kitchen look more expensive.
