How to Marie Kondo your Fridge in just a Few Easy Steps
It’s no secret that the average fridge can get really overcrowded in time. Often when I open my own fridge I wish it was a little cleaner, a little brighter, and a little more spacious. If you’re wincing whilst opening your fridge perhaps it’s time to find a better approach to storing your food. Here are a couple of tips and tricks on how to keep your fridge neat and tidy!

1. Start with a full surface clean
Once everything is cleaned, you can start reorganizing the items that you’ve chosen to keep. Create a “throw away” day at least once a week!
The new Samsung Side-by-Side refrigerator range features a stylish flat door design with recessed handles that is designed to fit in a standard Australian kitchen cavity! It also offers the option of a non-plumbed water and ice dispenser model, meaning you can choose to enjoy chilled water or ice straight from the fridge door without the hassle of plumbing – just fill the 4.5L water jug inside and you’re good to go!
2. Sort out your fruits and vegetables into reusable and sustainable containers.
3. Organize by Category
Divide everything into categories! I colour coordinated my vegetables and fruits and separated my juices and soups into different sort of containers so it would make finding it in my fridge much easier.
4. This is an optional step however feel free to label your food if you want to - so you are able to keep track of what is in your fridge when you’re in a rush!
5. Give Everything a Spot to Prevent Future Clutter
Taking a cue from Marie Kondo’s clothing organizing method, designate a spot for each category. This way you know immediately where to look for something and where to return it.
P.s Don’t forget to use your refrigerator’s unique storage options!
The end result: A dream Fridge!
Your food is organized, it looks beautiful, and it works. It’s important to free yourself of any unwanted ingredients! Hopefully my tips will help keep you inspired to cook some amazing meals and keep your headspace decluttered!
A special thank you to the incredible team at Samsung for the most modern and slick fridge! Not only does it feature a stylish flat door design with recessed handles but it also uses high-efficiency insulation which keeps the internal walls thin, creating more storage space inside. My favourite feature (aside from the storage) is the non-plumbed water and ice dispenser, which allows you to have chilled water straight from the fridge door without the hassle of plumbing.
If you’re in need of a new fridge - I promise this one won’t disappoint!
