4 min video – Get Organised: How to sort out that Annoying Cupboard
How to make a cupboard work better for you
- Edit and declutter
- Remove and recycle out-of-date, crusty or broken items
- Decide if something really needs to be in here
- If it’s backstock or rarely used, store it in harder-to-access places (I put a few items in the attic in a storage box)
Why? The less stored in a cupboard the easier it will be to access what you actually need
- Measure up the cupboard
- Choose containers that fit exactly
Tip: Cut baking parchment to fit the bottom of a drawer or cupboard then take this to the shops and try out what fits
- Add drawers or shelves to maximise the storage space
- Choose quality products, more likely to be functional longer term, reducing waste
- Group the same times together
- Use smaller containers to divide up larger containers if required
- You might want to separate out different people’s stuff – if this helps keep it organised
- Label containers if required
