When the dizzying holiday season finally ends, our apartments look like a festive bomb went off inside them — with our kitchens as the main impact zone. But instead of letting the remains of 2018’s feasting and baking feats consume our tidy spaces, we have Marie Kondo-esque plans to start at the source and tidy up our refrigerators.
Before you bemoan tackling this grocery-bearing beast, consider the payoff that a sparkling food space can provide. Creating an oasis inside your refrigerator isn’t just about cleaning, it’s also about organization — and opening the fridge doors to reveal a compact, color-coordinated interior is something we can definitely get behind. Ahead we’ve rounded up the sleek bins, buckets, and boxes to help streamline your groceries during any oncoming cooking frenzy in 2019.
Scroll on to shop the must-buy goods that will turn your once chaotic refrigerator into shelves of organized luxury — from chic acrylic containers to colorful herb keepers, reusable produce bags, funky air fresheners, and more — plus, a few cleaning tips to help you actually get there.
