At IKEA we celebrated the event “Something's being cooked at IKEA: everything starts with storing, organizing and cleaning your kitchen”, an encounter where we discovered how small changes can transform completely our daily life at home.
During the event we learnt how order and cleaning does not only make our kitchen look better, but it also makes every step easier: saving time, reducing waste and enjoy much more cooking time (and what comes after).
Here are some of the best tips we saw, along with moments of the event that proved it: when everything has its place, everything flows.
Order that you
notice right away
Before cooking, everything starts with how you organize what you eat. The fridge and pantry are the first steps for a more practical kitchen, where seeing, finding and preserving food well makes the difference in your daily life.
1. Waste under control
Organize your fridge with transparent containers like IKEA 365+ to see everything with one look. Label with dates and put in the front what expires first and consume more consciously.
2. Group, organize and save space
Use organizers like KLIPPKAKTUS to group food in categories inside the fridge. Less visual chaos, more mental clarity… and cooking turns easier.3. A beautiful pantry is also practical
Unify containers with jars like KORKEN or VARDAGEN to create visual harmony and find everything right away. Order here is not only visible, but it’s noticeable in the way you cook.A kitchen that flows with you
With a good foundation, the rest is much easier. Having at hand what you use, preserving food well and having an organized cleaning area transforms your kitchen into a more comfortable, functional and pleasant space.
4. With everything at hand, everything flows
Put the most used utensils on vertical supports near your working area. By doing this, you reduce moving and turn cooking into a more comfortable and swift experience.5. Freeze better, organize better
ISTAD bags are perfect for individual servings. Freeze them horizontally and store them vertically: you will save space and always have what you need at hand.6. An organized sink for a relaxed kitchen
Optimize this area with solutions like HALLBAR for recycling, organizers like PEPPRIG or dish racks like LILLHAVET. When everything has its place, cleaning is no longer a heavy chore.
In the end, it all boils down to something very simple: when your kitchen is organized, everything else flows. Cooking becomes easier, cleaning less of a chore, and sharing meals is much more enjoyable.
