Practical ways to transform your kitchen storage

Most of the time it is not possible to go 'Marie Kondo' as literally everything in the kitchen has a job, whether it sparks joy or not, so how do you use smart kitchen design to organise and declutter your kitchen cabinets?

• Your kitchen storage requirements depend on your buying habits, food habits, and lifestyle. If you have a large family, you will probably need more storage space.
• Your kitchen also needs to have good ergonomics to make your meal preparation and clean-up easy. Make sure everything is within reach and the frequently used items are easily accessible.
