It’s often said that if the kitchen looks clean, the rest of the house automatically does. The opposite is true. The rest of the house may be tidy, but if the kitchen is in a mess, the rest of the house looks trashed. It’s so unfair! Kitchens are so difficult to stay on top of!

Kitchen bins are the worse. Just when you’ve cleaned the kitchen, you realize it still feels grotty, because the bin has not been taken out, or is overflowing in something unsightly. Even worse is when you go to open a drawer and you realize the handle is encrusted with someone unrecognizable. Its seems no matter how large or small our kitchens are, they can still manage to fall into disarray after only a few days of less than perfect attention.

Kitchen’s always feel like they could be bigger, even the big ones! Even with adequate storage space, it can easily feel like things are falling out of drawers or spilling out of cupboards. We often keep adding to our kitchen accessories as well, and don’t make space for them.

Yet, despite the mess, the kitchen is not a room you can stop from being a kitchen. Preparing food is always going to involve some sort of mess, even if you do it in a tidy manner. To ban cooking in the kitchen is pretty counterproductive. There will always be some sort of mess to clear up. What many find frustrating is the endless cycle of work. Cooking, cleaning up, putting away, cooking again, cleaning up, putting away. Sometimes it feels like it would be nice to just leave the room alone and let it look like something out of a catalogue for a few days at least.

Our kitchens simply do not maintain that image of the kitchen from the advertisement on the telly. The one that is full of happy people, drinking wine and hardly nibbling on non messy treats from the fridge, cooked in an oven that only gets used once a month. Our counters have more on top of them than a two wine glasses and a bottle of red. In reality, our kitchen is the heart of our home. It’s where the kettle lives that makes cups of tea, and where the oven lives that makes cookies, and where the fridge lives that keeps all our favourite foods. It may enjoy a few moments of calm, but it will always be a room with a certain level of chaos in it!
