When it comes to having the ‘picture-perfect’ kitchen, I like to keep mine as minimalist and clutter-free as possible. And I'm always looking for smart ways to max out the space and add some stylish touches to really make the room pop.
However, there was one unsightly item that always seemed to spoil the overall look — the food trash caddy. Let’s face it, nobody likes the sight of a trash can. And I could never figure out a good way to hide this kitchen item that was always an eyesore.
That was until I discovered this eye-catching item that not only hides my ugly food waste, but also looks good enough to elevate my kitchen space.
The perfect solution to my kitchen eyesore
As far as food trash cans go, I didn’t think I’d ever be so thrilled about them, but this has been a total game-changer in my kitchen.
Not only does this stainless steel caddy make a sleek-looking alternative to an ugly eyesore, but it also fits in seamlessly instead of looking out of place. This is especially appealing when I host friends and family over for gatherings.
I particularly like the convenience of either having it on a countertop when I’m doing food prep, hung on a cabinet door, or placed in the corner of the room without taking up much room.
I also like that it has a removable inner basket (with handles) to prevent garbage bags from slipping off, and easily taken out to empty. And while it may be compact (it weighs in at 2 pounds), it has an adequate 7L capacity without overfilling too quickly. Plus, its built-in deodorizer eliminates any lingering smells — which is always a bonus.
Additionally, if you prefer to repurpose organic/food scraps, you can simply use it for your outdoor composting needs. Making it a great, versatile item to use around the home.
More importantly, its premium, steel finish looks the part, and (which I’m still yet to find out), is resistant to grubby fingerprints, making clean-up tasks a breeze.
Granted, the food waste bin doesn’t come cheap, and I'm sure you could find more budget alternatives. But I’ve finally found the ideal item to hide my worst eyesore — and for me, that’s priceless.
