The holidays are a busy time, and the kitchen is the epicenter of this activity. Holiday baking, writing cards, cooking for family and friends, and entertaining take center stage this time of year. This extra activity in your kitchen creates a hectic environment that could easily lead to extra clutter. Baking supplies, wrapping paper, and special holiday linens are in constant use, and must be easily accessible. Couple this with holiday entertaining and unexpected guests stopping in, and you could find yourself scrambling to clear up when the doorbell rings. Maximize the value of your kitchen design features to keep the clutter at bay and make sure your countertops and floors stay clear during the holidays.
