THE FRIDGE MAKEOVER YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR GET ORGANIZED IN 3 EASY STEPS!

A kitchen is only as organized as its refrigerator, so no matter how many air-tight and labeled containers line your pantry, it’s all for naught if your fridge looks like the inside of a middle school locker. We get it: A refrigerator is hard to keep organized. There are solids, liquids, and maybe stinky gases from long-forgotten leftovers.

So, in a space where people are constantly taking, moving, and spilling, is organizing a refrigerator a hopeless endeavor? Of course not! By following these easy organization tips, anyone can take their refrigerator from chaotic to cool. No. 1: Put those bins in your fridge too! There seems to be a disconnect between organizing the pantry and the fridge. While many people love to use clear bins to keep their cabinets and pantries tidy, they never cross the threshold to the refrigerator. Plastic organization bins can serve the same purpose in a refrigerator as everywhere else! And just like you might do for pantry bins, we advise labeling fridge bins with what’s inside them so you won’t have to constantly pull them out. No. 2: Keep the herbs out of it. While produce drawers are great in theory, bunches of parsley, cilantro, basil, and the like often end up yellow and wilted —

sometimes after just one use! To free up space in your fridge and get more use out of your herbs, treat them like flowers. Don’t stick them in the refrigerator; instead, put the ends in a large glass of water so they stay fresh, which can prevent you from throwing out rotting herbs every few weeks. No. 3: Take it off (the outer packaging, that is)! Many of the refrigerated products we buy come in big, bulky packages that, when removed, reveal that the item is individually wrapped, too! Save yourself space by removing any outer packaging before placing items in the fridge. Then, once you have your bins placed, herbs watered, and outer packages removed, we recommend using the “zone, label, stack” method. Put similar items in specific “zones,” label them, then stack them with the largest items on the bottom!

Transform Your Home Office With the Right Paint How Wall Colors Can Enhance Your Office and Productivity

Nature-Inspired Green Green is often linked to nature and promotes a sense of balance and harmony. It can reduce eye strain and create a calming atmosphere. If you’re constantly stressed, opt for muted greens like sage or olive for a relaxed and natural feel in your home office. Productivity-Boosting Cream White White is a classic choice that can make a space feel clean, fresh, and timeless. It reflects light, making the room appear larger and brighter. However, pure white might feel stark, so consider warm whites with a touch of beige or gray. Soothing Lavender Lavender is a calming and soothing color that can help reduce stress. It adds a touch of femininity without being overwhelming. Pair it with neutral furniture and accents for a balanced and sophisticated look. When selecting a wall paint color for your home office, consider the size of the space, the amount of natural light it receives, and your personal preferences. Experiment with sample colors to see how they look in different lighting conditions. Ultimately, choose a color that enhances your productivity and creates a space where you feel comfortable and inspired.

Choosing the right wall paint color for your home office is a crucial decision that can significantly impact your work environment. The color of your workspace can influence your mood, productivity, and overall well-being. Of course, the last thing you need is a wall color that puts you to sleep or keeps you distracted. Discover some of the best paint colors for a home office and why they work best for concentration and productivity. Dark or Light Blue Hues

Blue is known for its calming and serene properties, but it also promotes focus and concentration, making it an excellent choice for a home office. Lighter shades like sky blue or turquoise create a refreshing and

open atmosphere, while deeper blues can add sophistication and help you concentrate better on your work. Energizing Yellow Yellow is associated with energy and positivity. It can evoke a sense of optimism and creativity, making it an ideal choice for a space where you need to stay motivated. Soft, buttery yellows or muted tones work well to avoid overstimulation that overly bright, neon shades can induce.
