Get Ready for the Holidays with a New Kitchen Pantry Design

Every homeowner’s kitchen pantry design is different than the next. It may be different because of their diets or because they don’t cook a lot of meals. Each and every kitchen pantry design should be customized to organize the contents in a way that makes the most sense to whoever will be using the pantry most often. The best way to do this is to section off your pantry into areas where you can grab everything you need without having to think about and search out where the items are stored.

Tailored Living home organization specialists have outlined some possible sections to create with your new kitchen pantry design modules that will save you time and energy when cooking up your delicious holiday dishes.
Sections to consider creating:
Sauces
- Barbecue sauces, salad dressings, liquid smoke, vanilla, anything in liquid form that you use in your recipes should be stored in one central area so you always know where to look for it.
Mixes
- Cake, pie, bread, and brownie mixes along with anything else of this category should all be placed together. Since they aren’t used as often as some of the other things in your pantry, you may want to consider placing them somewhere out of your immediate reach.
Spices
- A spice rack or spice drawer is perfect for keeping all of your flavor bursting spices in one place and making it easy to see them and pick out which you need.
Fresh vegetable and fruit storage
- Airtight modules that can slide or tilt out are perfect for storing your fruit and vegetables. There are also baskets available for anything that doesn’t need to be kept in an airtight container!
Recipe books
- Your library of recipe books and homemade recipes that you have collected throughout the years can all be stored in a place out of the way, but right there whenever you need them.
Custom cabinetry to match your home style
- Although this isn’t a, “section” per say, it is a section of your home and your kitchen pantry design should complement the look and feel that you have adopted for the rest of your home

Turn your average pantry into an organized and instinctual space with the help of your local Tailored Living home organization specialist today!

 

Get Your Laundry Room Organized with New Cabinets

In busy households, most laundry rooms become unorganized as clothing, towels, and empty detergent containers seem to pile up quickly. Avoid an unpleasant mess with laundry room cabinets. Cabinets work just as well in the laundry room as they do in the kitchen. Consider incorporating laundry room cabinets into your next laundry room design from Tailored Living. They offer convenient storage for extra linens, household supplies and oversized detergent and fabric softener containers.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       With an organized space, laundry day will be more enjoyable and feel less like a chore. For added convenience, Tailored Living offers a variety of accessories that work well in conjunction with laundry room cabinets.
Some additional laundry room ideas include: 

• Add a valet rod above the counter for hanging items fresh from the dryer.
• A pull-out laundry hamper keeps dirty clothes out of sight as it is concealed behind cabinets.
• A pull-out ironing board offers space-saving convenience since it folds back on itself to slide back into the wall.
• Create a sort-as-you go laundry room design with integrated pull-out baskets for whites, darks, reds, delicates, and more.
• Eliminate unsightly dirt and lint that often accumulates in the laundry room with slide out trash bins for easy disposal.

 Home Improvement Tips to get Organized for the New Year

New Year’s resolutions have a way of dying soon after they are made. Make this year different by learning how to not only start these plans but maintain them. If getting organized is one of your 2013 resolutions, then it may be time for a little home improvement. Consider the following ways you can get organized in the upcoming year.

Use every room to its potential:
From the entryway to the office, there are several ways to make a space work. Do not overfill some rooms and neglect the potential in others. Tailored Living makes shelving and organizers for every room’s purpose. You could make a room work extra hard by giving it a second purpose. Murphy Beds offer a convenient second use for any room, giving guests comfortable sleeping quarters. They are even offered in options that include shelving, helping you keep a room in order.

Organize for convenience:
To keep a room looking neat, the most-used items should be within reach. By doing so you will not have to look far to put your belongings back or dig through drawers to find what you are looking for. By tailoring a room through a little home improvement, such as shelving measurements and special organizers, you are making a room work better for your individual needs.

Create a home for every item:
As people receive gifts over the holiday season, they need to find new places to keep them. Consider donating old items to make room for the new. When every little knick-knack has a place, clutter is less likely to happen. You do not have to look far to put all your stuff away. Putting it all away becomes more straightforward, giving you ease in the organization process.

Design a space you want to show off:
Whether it is Tailored Living’s PremierGarage brand cabinets or an attractive entryway design, you want people to see the home improvement you have put into your living spaces. By installing special features in your home, you will feel encouraged to be keep rooms organized. Not only do your spaces look good but you want them to stay that way as well.
