Spring Declutter Challenge Week 1 Task 3: Kitchen Counter Refresh

Kitchen Counter Refresh – Clear Counters, Clear Mind

Spring Declutter Challenge | Week 1 Task 3

Is your kitchen counter looking more like a catch-all than a cooking space? You’re not alone! Task 3 of Week 1 of our Spring Declutter Challenge is all about bringing freshness and functionality back to the heart of the home—your kitchen.

Why Declutter the Kitchen Counters?

The kitchen is one of the most-used rooms in the house, but it’s also one of the quickest to collect clutter. Appliances, mail, random gadgets, and yesterday’s coffee cup all tend to hang around a little too long. A cluttered kitchen can feel overwhelming—but a clean one? That’s a game-changer.

The Task:

Clear the kitchen counters. Keep only the items you use every day.

This might include your coffee maker, kettle, or fruit bowl. Everything else? It might be time to tuck it away or pass it along.

Downsizing Tip:

Ask yourself:
Would I take this to my next home?
If the answer is no, it probably doesn’t deserve space on your countertop today either.

3 Quick Counter-Decluttering Tips:

1. Wipe the slate clean – literally. Clear everything off to see what you’re working with.

2. Keep only the daily essentials – everything else can go in a cupboard or drawer.

3. Use trays or bins – group like items together for a tidier look.

Reflect:

How does the kitchen feel now that it’s less cluttered? A cleaner space often brings a calmer mood and clearer mind—especially when it’s time to cook or enjoy a cup of tea.
