Let's be honest: most people here would prefer an extra meter of storage space rather than having to use methods to make do with little storage space, if they can afford it.
In my kitchen, I was missing a drawer and a cabinet space near the sink because habits have changed (among other things, medication intake). Since I have a standalone fridge, it was simply moved 60 cm, and a Besta cabinet moved into the kitchen. For front matching, a contrast was chosen, which is repeated on the other kitchen wall with another cabinet.
Anyway: it works great now
One problem that is still not solved: we now freeze more frozen food. Also because of the fruit trees and bushes. And the ice cream man also comes. We don’t have space for a second property. Nor a pantry. There would still be the option of a French-door fridge for us, but then the fridge dominates the open-plan kitchen. I want to avoid that. Annoying.
I’d say: who else has such capacity in their kitchen? Those who have a pantry have planned ahead. But most builders (under about 140 sqm) don’t. It would be advantageous to consider whether the storage room could have such a space.
My dressing room, for example, is roughly half a meter of half-height storage too small. That should be doable in the age of Marie Kondo. So I fold my T-shirts!!!
But to be honest: I would prefer that extra half meter rather than this time-wasting folding technique. And whoever sees it the other way around has a problem, because he or she doesn’t reflect on or can’t handle this nonsense. Marie Kondo, Flylady etc. is a way to compensate for deficits. It would be nice not to have these deficits in the first place.
I also declutter – there are active groups that practice it and you can learn from them. I get rid of something every day (at some point I will have nothing left, then it’s my husband’s turn )
Just like , a piece of clothing must make way for a new one. But also a conscious “everything I haven’t worn in a year” works if you take two years instead. The bag/box has to be stored temporarily, because someone else is supposed to get it from me. So it’s not trash.
I like it tidy. That means: I stand in front of my wardrobe (in this case dressing room) and want to have everything in view. So no Sex-in-the-City dressing room. But: that one half meter I would prefer!
However, you can’t argue about something like this with a man whose few clothes are put into the wardrobe by his wife.
