The sink
It’s normal in kitchens where there’s a lot of cooking to have dirty dishes. However, you don’t want your guests to see piles of uncleaned dishes in the sink or on the countertop, even if you’ve just eaten. It makes the entire kitchen look dirty and disorganized.
The best thing you can do is empty the sink before anyone arrives or put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher as soon as you pick them up from the table. “For a quick fix, you can consider using an over-the-sink cutting board to cover the mess,” recommends interior designer Lisa Jane.
