Marie Kondo, bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy, has developed a foolproof organization technique called the KonMari Method that promises anyone can declutter and never relapse. I've tried it out myself and can attest to its effective power, particularly with my kitchen.

Since the release of Marie Kondo's series on Netflix, more and more people are getting on board with her method. It's impossible not to Instagram the amazing spaces in your house post-KonMari, which is why I have pulled together some brilliant examples along with some tips to keep your kitchen tidy.
