What Are Some Tips For Organising Your Kitchen Crockery Cabinets?

  • Follow the DCS approach: 
  1. Declutter your crockery. Identify and keep the most frequently used and favoured items and let go of the rest.
  2. Create and optimise the remaining space. Add expandable shelves, organisers, plate stackers, etc.
  3. Stack up the bowls and glasses on the expandable shelves, the plates and crockery in the vertical plate/crockery stacker and the cutlery in a kitchen caddy. Store away the not so frequently used items in a large container and keep them aside. 
  • Follow Vastu recommendations: 
  1. Keep the crockery and the cabinet where it is kept well-maintained, free of any dust and clutter.
  2. Keep glass crockery in the kitchen as it pleases the Moon and brings clarity to your thought process.
  3. Keep the utensils and glass crockery in an upside-down position within the cabinets.
  4. Throw away any broken crockery immediately and replace it as broken glass is considered a bad omen.
