Are you tired of rummaging through a mountain of mismatched food storage containers in your kitchen? Do you find yourself constantly searching for that one elusive plastic lid? Well, we've got good news for you! With these 5 clever Tupperware storage ideas from pro organizers and interior designers, you can say goodbye to the chaos and hello to a peaceful kitchen.
Tip #1: Buy in Bulk
The key to keeping your cupboards decluttered is to buy in bulk. Laura Price, founder of The Home Organisation, recommends stacking four or five separate sets neatly inside each other in size order. This way, you can keep your Tupperware storage organized without having to compromise on the amount of containers you have.
Tip #2: Find Them a Good Home
When it comes to storing Tupperware, location is everything. As Jennifer Verruto, founder and CEO of Blythe Interiors, suggests, store them in easy-to-access lower cabinets where they're within reach. If you're storing in a drawer, use little boxes or drawer dividers to separate your lids and bases.
Tip #3: Keep Them Together… Unless You Don't Have Space
The golden rule of storing Tupperware is to never put a container back in the cupboard without a top on it. But what if you don't have space to store them stacked? Amy Berryhill, founder of Spiffy Chicks, recommends nesting containers inside one another and lining up the corresponding lids right next to the bottoms.
Tip #4: Take Care With the Tiny Ones
Smaller pieces like sauce and dressing containers can be easily lost in the depths of your cupboard. To prevent this, store them in a small basket at the front [of the cabinet]. As Laura Price suggests, this way you never run the risk of losing the little ones.
Tip #5: Don't Toss Mismatched Pieces
When a lid gets separated from its bottom, don't throw it away just yet. Jennifer Verruto recommends repurposing Tupperware bases as bath toys, craft storage, or under-the-counter toiletry organizers. You can even use extra lids as furniture movers to prevent scratching your floors.
By implementing these 5 simple tips, you'll be able to keep your Tupperware organized and within reach. Say goodbye to the chaos of a disorganized kitchen and hello to a peaceful cooking experience!
