HOW TO ORGANIZE PLATES AND BOWLS

Why would you even need to organize your plates and bowls? One reason is to prevent chips and scratches. Another is to make the different sizes of your plates and bowls more easily accessible. And did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your plates and bowls, you must purge the damaged ones and the ones you do not use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do use.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize your plates and bowls. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your plates and bowls with different organizing solutions. I share how I organize my own plates and bowls here.
