I don’t think there’s any contest, really. Kitchen counters take on a lot. By design, they house our appliances, our spices and oils and over and above that – sometimes they become a drop zone for pretty much everything. Before you know it, it all descends into cluttered chaos. The reality is keep your kitchen counter neat requires conscious effort. I myself use the flat surface rule to take 10 and clear my counters each morning. Besides simple routines, there are a few kitchen countertop organization products that can truly help keep your counters looking tidy and chic.
Here are my latest favourite picks:
This Tiered Corner Rack That’s Both Functional & Chic
Kitchen countertop organization products have come a long way – and this corner rack is a case in point. It comes with three tiers and clever hooks. Perfect for arranging coffee/tea accessories, spices, oils, hanging cutlery – basically works as a home for all the loose things that tend to lie around on the kitchen counter.
The great thing about this is that you can use the space below the shelves as well and get added storage. Plus, if you style it well – it works as a great accent piece in your kitchen.
