Who doesn’t love a basket? You can never have too many. Not only do they look great dotted around the home, but neatly storing things in baskets whether they are on a shelf, cupboard or floor is a great way to tidy your stuff. Whether it's kids’ toys, makeup, blankets, or rolled-up socks, there’s always a place for a basket.
Glass jars are a great way to organise your pantry and you can even use one as a dispenser for water! Dry food like cereal, pasta, and nuts stored in labeled jars will not only look great but make food easy to find. They aren’t just reserved for the kitchen either, jars in the bathroom to store small toiletries like cotton buds and makeup remover pads are a great way to keep those things in place.
Whether it’s using wire mesh as a noticeboard or a wire basket to hold fruit, an indoor plant, blankets, or a stack of books, wire is both pretty and functional. With baskets available in various sizes, shapes, and patterns, they are both sturdy and durable making them a great storage idea.
Ideal for the bedroom and the living room, a glass or wooden box can store and display your possessions and little trinkets to prevent them from being scattered around your home. Keep one on your coffee table with travel collectibles or in your bedroom next to your bed for when you take your jewellery off.
SHOP NOWA metal bucket with handles is a great storage idea for cleaning products. Easy to carry around as you clean and with compartments to stand large bottles up, it will prevent them from falling into a mess. They also make great storage for washing powders to keep them in one place near your washing machine. Plastic crates are also great for this, not to mention for storing other things around the home.
SHOP NOWThere’s something about having a stylish hook or hanger on the wall. They always look great even if you don’t have anything hanging on them. Great for dressing gowns, towels, and scarves, and you can even hang a lightweight bag on them to store items that usually end up on the floor.
It’s a simple thing but having a letter tray to store all your bills and paperwork that comes into your house will make any kitchen table or any surface look tidier. Even if you don’t have a designated desk to put it on, a tray will keep paperwork neat and tidy, and you’ll always be able to find that lost letter. Similarly, a pen pot will stop them from being scattered around the house.
