Try TikTok's Easy Storage Tip To Keep Your Countertops Clutter-Free
Do you have a bad habit of letting your kitchen countertops get so cluttered that you can't see your beautiful countertops under all the random items? Luckily, TikTok has a convenient and stress-free tip for assigning one place for kitchen tools and other objects that always end up on your countertops.
TikTok user @juliedahlum — who has around 8,000 followers and posts a lot of interior design content — shared a video showing viewers how she places the random objects that would end up on her countertop in a decorative storage box with a lid. By using that stylish box and keeping the box on the countertop, there isn't any more miscellaneous clutter on top of the counter. Using a box with a lid also shuts away the mess and helps the kitchen appear neater and more organized.
The TikTok user advised in the caption, "Once a week or month, go through the box to try and find a home for everything! It's a quick way to contain your clutter and give yourself time before you have to organize it." So, take TikTok's clever organization hack for storing kitchen items as your sign to invest in a decorative box for your countertops.
You have many options
There are many boxes to help keep your kitchen counter more organized. For instance, if you want not only one but two charmingly rustic decorative boxes, check out the H2H gray and brown wood-paneled set of boxes, available for $60.85 at Walmart. On the other hand, anyone who wants a sleek retro look in bright red should check out the Polder mini retro bread bin, available for $39.95 at Target. While the stainless steel item is technically called a bread bin, there's no harm in using it to store other objects, and it has 4.5 out of 5 stars.
If you want a specific color and you can't find it online, you might want to paint the storage box you choose in whatever hue you need to achieve the look you desire or add decals for a more unique spin. You can even opt for customized decals. VyoletShop is one shop that sells personalized custom vinyl decals for $9.99 on Amazon. Their decals rate 4.1 out of 5 stars on over 500 reviews.
Another option to consider is a DIY storage box. For example, you can wrap a shoe box in contact paper, peel-and-stick wallpaper, or vinyl film to create a stunning storage box. Just imagine how lovely a box with this marble vinyl film from The Home Depot for $15.45 would look on a marble countertop. These products come in almost every imaginable style and design. So, are you ready to transform your countertop space with a decorative storage box?
