The end of the holidays and the return to daily routine are often accompanied by a more hectic pace of life. Between getting back into the swing of things, everyone’s individual activities and preparing evening meals, our home is put under a lot of strain. At Pebbly, we like to think of the kitchen as a cosy living space where beauty blends naturally with good food. We suggest rethinking the layout of this space to bring more peace of mind, rediscover the joy of healthy cooking and get the year off to a good start.

A well-organised kitchen is the essential starting point for cooking delicious meals without stress. It makes you want to get back in the kitchen, simplifies the preparation of everyday recipes and greatly reduces waste. By organising your shelves and worktops before the big rush, you create a smooth-flowing, visually soothing and welcoming environment.

Tidying up your kitchen

Before introducing new storage containers or rearranging your shelves, a good spring clean (at the end of summer!) is essential. Start by completely emptying your drawers, cupboards and larder. This is the perfect time to take a full inventory of what you own and clear out the clutter.

Go through your dry goods and tinned food. Group similar items together to avoid buying duplicates and to spot what needs to be eaten soon. This is also a good opportunity to have a look at your kitchen utensils: get rid of any that are worn out or that you haven’t used for months. For your back-to-school shopping, why not try buying in bulk? Choosing pasta, rice, pulses or spices in just the right quantities helps reduce single-use packaging whilst adding a natural and attractive touch to your home.

Rearranging your spaces with an eco-friendly approach to interior design

Once you’ve finished sorting, it’s time to reorganise things both visually and functionally. To make the most of the space available on your shelves, vertical storage and the use of transparent, stackable containers are invaluable allies. Borosilicate glass is our favourite material: safe, neutral and highly durable, it allows you to see your supplies at a glance whilst creating a lovely sense of visual uniformity.

For your everyday dry food

La tall, rectangular glass storage jar is an absolute must-have. Thanks to its all-glass design and narrow, bevelled shape, it’s very comfortable to hold and fits neatly into your deep drawers or on your shelves. Its flat glass lid, fitted with a silicone seal, guarantees excellent protection against moisture for your spaghetti or cereal.

On your worktop or the shelf in the coffee corner

La square tin with measuring spoon The bamboo design adds an instant touch of warmth. It features a small glass loop on the side for hanging your wooden spoon. It’s the perfect solution for sugar, cocoa or flour: no more rummaging around at the back of the drawer for the right measuring spoon whilst you’re baking a cake or making your morning drink.

For the fridge

No more leftovers forgotten in opaque containers. Go for transparency with the divided storage boxes . These food storage boxes have two fixed compartments, allowing you to pack a meal or combine a starter and main course, or a main course and dessert, in a single container – perfect for lunches at the office!

Keeping your kitchen clean at all times is easier

A tidy space is one where everything naturally finds its place whilst you’re cooking. To avoid clutter on the worktop and make cleaning up after a meal easier, a few well-designed accessories make all the difference.
