Decluttering can make every room in your home feel fresher. Decluttering and deep cleaning your kitchen can also protect your health. Make the first step in your kitchen rejuvenation a deep clean. Consider the options offered by a company such as Novato Cruz Cleaning to help you tackle deep cleaning projects.

Make a list of what you toss so that you can keep an eye out for replacement spices. Make a list of what you have that is still good so you don't buy unnecessary products in the future. A deep spring cleaning and decluttering is a wonderful tool to enjoy a better-organized cooking space.

Update storage for fresh spring produce

Consider changing up your kitchen storage to create more room for food, especially if you plan to garden or dry your own herbs. Greens and herbs can be dried and stored for later use. Use your current pantry shelving for heavy items, such as jars of sauces and cans of soup.

Update your pantry storage with detailed attention from a company like Kitchen Solutions. A simple pull-out floor-to-ceiling cabinet can be designed to give you a spot to store lighter-weight dry goods such as dried mint or chamomile for tea.

Reface your cabinets and walls in spring colors

If you long for a fresh, vibrant kitchen but can't bear the mess and disruption of replacing your cabinets, it's time to consider a simple reface. Newly refaced or freshly painted cabinet doors can brighten a dark kitchen.

Study the options from a business like Express Reface. Consider updating your existing cabinets with a fresh, new finish in a light tone. A new-to-you kitchen in less than a week? Absolutely!

Treat yourself to some new wall paint as well. If you're going with white cabinets, consider painting the walls a very pale aqua or light sky blue. These colors both soothe the viewer and are an excellent foil for many other colors. If you love the idea of growing some herbs on your countertop to add to your home-cooked meals, make sure you also update your under-cabinet lighting.

A fresh, clean kitchen with easily accessible storage throughout the space will make it easier to put fresh spring produce to work in your meal planning.
