Co-living can be a fun and unique experience. One of the common spaces that you will have to share with your neighbours will be the kitchen. Making sure that the kitchen is organised and easy to use can be a challenge when you are sharing it with multiple people. Here are a few tips to try out.
Most often kitchens have a lot of underutilised space that can be exploited. If you are managing your kitchen, you may not identify these since you don't need to. For example, the space above the kitchen sink is most often left unused. Instead, you can have an overhead sink rack that provides additional space for you to store your kitchen essentials. Similarly, the walls in your kitchen can be used to hang things. The kitchen can have a stick-on rack that doubles up as a storage space. So be smart and creative about how you use the space in the kitchen.

Another challenge people face when trying to keep their kitchens organised is cleaning. While some people are quite easy to work with and clean up after themselves immediately, some don't. To tackle this issue, it is best to have a cleaning schedule. Ask each person who will be using the kitchen when they'll be most comfortable cleaning and make sure they do it at that time. This way, if someone leaves things unattended, you can always call them out on it.
If things are not going as planned and your kitchen is getting messy and difficult to use, the best thing to do is have short catch-up meetings. These will allow you to voice any concerns you have and find solutions for them as a group. It can avoid unnecessary conflict and help manage your space better.
