Trying to find extra storage space in your home can be tricky, so thinking outside the box about the 'hiding' places in each space of the house is key. This includes the back of the door, a narrow space, double-duty drawers, floating shelves, hanging baskets, under-shelf storage, ottomans and utilizing every inch of vertical wall space. Let's take a look at the different rooms of the house to see where and how it's possible to find that extra storage space.
Having the right storage products can make a massive difference to the organisation of your home and the efficiency of your everyday routine. Finding the right piece can be a total game-changer in terms of how the space works, how things are used and put away, and how a system is maintained. Today I'm showing you my top 10 favourite storage products and how I use them in the different areas of our home.
This week on the blog has been all about getting the fridge organised, so on today's episode of The Organised You TV, I'm giving you a tour of our organised fridge! It's a funny thing to show off the food inside your fridge, I realised as I was filming just how much dairy our family consumes! :0
In the video I'm showing you which storage containers I use to keep food fresher for longer, the categories I use to organise our food, and my reasoning for where I place different items so they are organised and easily accessible. Have you taken the fridge organising challenge this week? Don't forget to grab your 10-step checklist below, and get some inspiration here before you get started!
An organised fridge can be a real game-changer in terms of how you use your kitchen and the amount of time you spend in it. The kitchen is called 'the heart of the home' for good reason, as the majority of our time is spent here, be it preparing meals, putting away the groceries, baking, grabbing snacks, making coffees, doing the dishes, organising the lunchbox... it all adds up!
How you organise your fridge (and freezer and pantry!) can really reduce the amount of time you spend doing these daily tasks. Having an organised fridge will also save you money, and make it run a lot more efficiently. Today I'm outlining the 10 steps you can take to be able to easily access everything in your fridge, and keep it looking sorted and organised! Are you up for the challenge?
My most recent client makeover was for a very dear friend, so it was a really great experience and one of my favourite makeovers! I love helping out all of my clients, but when they are friends it makes the process all the more enjoyable. Not only do we take the 'organising journey' together, I also get to hear about the positive impact and benefits of the newly organised space once the job's complete, which is the bit I love most about my job as a personal organiser!
Consider this statement: The less stuff you own, the more clean and clutter-free your house becomes. Makes sense right? Decluttering and organising is all about freeing up space to gain a more relaxed, clean and easy flow in your home. It is also amazing to discover how a clutter-free space can give you a more positive mindset and productive approach towards each day. A good purge and declutter will not only provide you with a more calm and clear approach to your day-to-day life, it will also leave your home feeling more open and with a more pleasant atmosphere.
