If your upcoming kitchen remodel involves painting or refacing your cabinets, you’ll need to empty them out and remove clutter from the counters and the rest of the kitchen. We know packing up your kitchen can be a little overwhelming, so we’ve put together our best tips to make your professional kitchen cabinet painting process easier.
#1 Figure Out Storage
You probably have a lot more items in your kitchen cabinets than you realize. In order to make putting it all back easier, make sure that you are organized and have a designated place to put everything. Whether it’s your dining room table or your basement, find a storage place where everything from your kitchen can stay.
#2 Plan on Paper and Plastic
Plan to use paper plates and plastic utensils for this time. You will save yourself a huge headache.
#3 Purchase Moving Supplies
While you may not be moving, your dishes are. Make sure that you have the right supplies on hand so that your ceramic, glass, or other delicate dishes don’t break when they are transported out of the kitchen. Take the time to wrap fragile items and pack things with care.
#4 Keep Your Silverware Together
Instead of taking it out and putting back all of your silverware, simply lift the silverware drawer organizer out of the drawer altogether. You can wrap it with plastic wrap to keep everything in place until it’s time to return it.
#5 Use Space Wisely
Kitchens often have items that can double as storage. For example, fill your slow cooker with utensils, or use a large bowl to hold spice jars. This will save you space in your temporary storage area and make it easier to move things.
#6 Don’t Forget Your Countertops
Countertops are often home to larger items that you use on a regular basis, like your coffee maker or air fryer. Make a plan for these items so you can still use them while the rest of the kitchen is out of commission.
#7 Clear the Floors
Even though you may not be redoing your floors, you will want to clear them off. Remove rugs and mats from the kitchen and make sure that there is a clear path from the door to the kitchen for the crew to use.
#8 Set Up A Temporary Kitchen
Unless you plan to dine out for every meal, you will want to set up a temporary place to prepare food. Try to plan simple meals that only use one appliance, like a grill (if it’s warm out) or a slow cooker to make meal prep easier and less messy. Also, set up an area to wash any essential dishes, like the bathroom sink.
