Creating Calm and Organised Spaces

Cool, Calm and Collected

The year has kicked off with a flying start. It’s at this moment we start to catch our breath and begin to reassess the pain points in our lives and throughout our home. Organising and decluttering spaces can increase your mood and get that serotonin flowing. Physical clutter creates mental clutter. With this in mind, let’s explore how to organise your space to feel calm and enable productivity.

Start with the low-hanging fruit

Starting by decluttering the areas you use most frequently, remove everything that doesn’t serve you practically and emotionally. A clear and clean kitchen benchtop may seem like a goal only obtainable once a week during the Sunday reset, but it’s important to maintain it daily. It will help limit the overwhelming energy experienced during the working week.

While you put the effort in to keep the kitchen zone clear of mess, you won’t have to worry about your Caesarstone benchtop. All our surfaces are designed to withstand the everyday spills and bumps. We go beyond excellence, to give you the certainty that your surface remains safe, durable, and timelessly beautiful. With plenty of resources on how to maintain and care for your surfaces, cleaning is a breeze.

Does it spark joy?

Let’s think about your appliances. Are your kitchen gadgets taking over your benchtops and cupboards? If you only use them once a week, placing them in a cupboard or pantry could be the best way to maximise your bench space. Turning your attention to your second drawer (yes, the bits and bobs one) and your other cupboards.

Consider donating or throwing away any tools and utensils that are single-function tools. Single purpose gadgets take up unnecessary space. For example, avocado slicers, egg separators, cherry pitters, all the way through to deep fryers and pancake makers. Unless they are truly useful for your lifestyle, get rid of them. It’s time to reclaim those drawers and cupboards.

Feel inspired

Remember your kitchen benchtop is not only for preparing food; it’s the place for summoning the energy to begin the day, it’s the hub of homework and late-night working, it’s the centrepoint for entertaining and social activity. Choosing the right surface can go a long way to making that space feel bigger, brighter and more open.

If you’re stuck for kitchen inspiration, explore our gallery of projects and notice how certain colours really lift your mood. There’s no shame in opting for a white kitchen; don’t get sucked into the Millennial grey slander. Some of the best white kitchens, like those using one of our most popular colours, Calacatta Nuvo™, still explode with personality, textures and energy.

Proof you can have it all

If you love to make a bold statement or cherish those cosy vibes, explore Caesarstone Mineral surfaces that feature deep, rich veining. By choosing an iconic surface like Black Tempal™, you can achieve a dark, stone benchtop vibe that is still safe and environmentally friendly.

The Mineral Crystalline Silica-Free collection is a real pioneer in this space. As part of our ongoing commitment, we’re driving the evolution of engineered stone to create a crystalline silica-free revolution. Our heavily researched and developed breakthrough technique combines natural minerals and recycled materials. These surfaces continue to uphold our incredible durability, strength, versatility and aesthetics, so you can create a home that truly feels like you.

Keep the momentum going

Now the kitchen and pantry are under control, focus your attention on the laundry. Think about workspaces that allow you to sort and fold, steam and iron, within the laundry space itself. Dedicating a space for garment care will stop the clutter of clothes, coat hangers and baskets following you throughout the house.

Flowing on from inside to out, your outdoor living space needs some love too. Start by discarding the things you don’t need and giving the area a quick clean. Designate workstations around your entertaining area to make the space more functional. Using surfaces like Caesarstone Porcelain benchtops are perfect for outdoor and indoor spaces as they’re designed to withstand any stains, harsh weather conditions like extreme heat and UV. Whether you’re looking for an outdoor kitchen benchtop or island, we have the perfect range of durable surfaces that will make entertaining stress-free.

This fresh start looks good on you

As your home starts to reawaken from this detox, take a minute to enjoy it. Decluttering your high-traffic areas and designing a flow that works for you, will do wonders for your mental health. Organising the kitchen, laundry and alfresco areas might seem easier said than done, but it’s a strong start toward a happier and healthier life.
