The step-by-step guide to organising your food storage containers

Earlier in the week, I shared 15 ideas for organising your food storage containers. Today I'm sharing a video of how I organised a client's kitchen cupboard that contained her plastics collection. The main problem with her original set-up was that, because the containers were on a shelf in the cupboard as opposed to a drawer, she couldn't easily find or access what she needed as all the containers and lids were jumbled together. Watch the video to see how I set up a new system for this cupboard so that the food storage containers were in an easy-to-maintain system with everything accessible and organised.

How to set up a gift wrapping station

A gift wrapping station is a great way to save yourself loads of time and effort rushing around the house looking for supplies when you need to quickly wrap a gift or write a card. 

The clip-on basket system is an easy and effective way to keep everything neat and organised and easily accessible, so you can always find what you're looking for. It is also a great space-saver as it doesn't take up much storage space, we have ours on the back of a cupboard door! Check out the video for an in-depth look at how I set up our gift wrapping station and organise our supplies.

The answer to all of these problems could be as simple as an organised 'drop-zone' entryway - one of the best ways to stay organised and create a calmer start to your day.

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.
