MY TOP STORAGE HACKS
My 10 top hacks to make those ugly necessities not only look better but make your home a little more organised! I love using storage that sometimes isn't meant for its intended purpose and thinking a little bit outside the box (no pun intended!).
Wrapping Paper is always shoved in a cupboard, usually right at the back where you can't see it so you end up buying more and more! This storage basket, can be fixed on to the inside of a long cupboard door and is perfect for storing rolls of wrapping paper.
Why do tins always seem to be stuffed into corner cupboards?!? I like to be able to see which tins I have, which is why I like to recommend using a Tiered Organiser. It doesn't have to stop at tins… why not use this for spreads or spices?!
I think everyone is trying to cut down on plastic bags, so instead of buying your potatoes in bags, buy them loose and store them in these vegetable bags. They are so easy to store in the fridge or the larder and will help keep your vegetables categorised!
Sometimes you don't always need to buy storage, it's just sitting there collecting dust. I love keeping hold of select clothing and cards for my little ones to look back on when they are older. I used an old gift box from my1styears for each of their little collection of memories.
There are A LOT of necessities when having a baby, so as I had a really small space with not much storage, I used this spice rack fixed on to the wall to hold nappies & creams to hand. I then painted it the same colour as the unit so it blended in.
I hate all different types of bread stuffed onto a shelf, and I don't love the idea of a ‘bread bin’. I saw this Ikea SMARRA box and instantly knew it would be perfect (and breathable) for bread. It also adds a stylish element to the most boring of foods!
I love my hairband collection, but ideally it's great to tuck them away if you have the space. I love this new storage box from The Home Edit collection, so great for storing hairbands and hair tools.
Bath toys are that necessity that ends up taking over your bathroom and when it comes to having a bath I just don't want them in the bath with me. Traditional bath toy holders do the job, but I recently found these bags which not only hold loads but come in so many lovely colours, you can hang them over the bath so that you don't have to bath with the rubber ducky!
Cereal boxes are just so unsightly, they build up and then get shoved to the back of the cupboard where they go stale and then forgotten. I love decanting cereal, it looks so much better! But Weetabix is always a tough one as it doesn’t quite fit in the obvious cereal containers. I use this OXO Pop container which is actually meant for spaghetti, but fits my Weetabix in perfectly.
