The Non-Consumables Zone can hold up to one third of items stored in the kitchen! Considering this large amount, planning space for this zone is especially important as is easy access and comfort. This zone is used to store non-foodstuffs. It is mainly used for kitchen utensils, cutlery, dishes and glasses. For ergonomic reasons, it even makes sense to store often-used dishes in the pull-outs of the lower cabinets instead of the top cabinet. By the way, this Zone is next to the Cleaning Zone because it makes putting dishes from the dishwasher away very efficient!

Items found in the Non-Consumables Zone include Dishes, Cutlery, Odds & Ends, Plastic Containers, Glasses, Dessert Bowls, Coffee Cups, Mugs, Saucers, Seldom-Used Small Electrical Appliances.
