10 Surprising Items Your Kitchen Doesn't ACTUALLY Need

1. Declutter Your Kitchen Gadgets

Do you find your kitchen crowded with multiple accessories that come with various gadgets but never get used? Kallie recommends keeping these additional items for a while after purchase, but if they're unused after six months, consider parting with them.

2. Rethink Pots and Pans Sets

Kallie's first regret from her wedding registry was an entire set of pots and pans. After living independently for over a decade, she's come to realize that not all the pans in these extensive sets get used. What works for one person might just gather dust for another.

3. Say Goodbye to Duplicates

Duplicates or even triplicates of kitchen items are common, and often, unnecessary. How many rubber spatulas do you REALLY need? Eliminating duplicate items can help streamline your kitchen organization.

4. Simplify Your Knife Collection

We often purchase knife sets and end up using only a select few.. Consider which types of knives you frequently use and keep only those. Your kitchen drawer will thank you!

5. Organize Your Tupperware

Mismatched Tupperware or pieces missing their counterparts are the kitchen equivalent of the elusive single sock. Conduct regular audits of your Tupperware collection and discard any that are missing their other half. This will help keep your kitchen storage organized and frustration-free.

6. Limit Your Coffee Mugs

Have you ever wondered why we amass a plethora of coffee mugs, often more than any household could realistically use? Kallie advises limiting your coffee mug collection to only what you need, even considering potential guest usage. This not only declutters your kitchen but also frees up valuable cupboard space.

7. Reevaluate Your Glassware Collection

Kallie questions the need for specialized glassware for every type of beverage. She encourages us to simplify our glassware and remember that most beverages taste the same, regardless of the glass.

8. Audit Your Cookbooks

If you have cookbooks that you rarely use, Kallie encourages passing them on to friends or donating them.

9. Discard Excess Party Supplies

Those leftover cups, napkins, and plates from past celebrations often accumulate and take up space.

10. Store Occasional Serving Ware Elsewhere

Last but not least, Kallie suggests finding an alternative storage space for special occasion serving ware.
