1. Chalk paint

Such a fun way to organise! Decorative and flexible, use a stencil to create a label on plastic tubs, drawers, jars and wall hangers.

3. Magazine rack

These are wonderful to use for efficient storage for almost any room in your home. Use for:

3. Jars, jars, jars!

The ultimate free storage solution, jars can lend themselves to all kinds of clever storage.

  • Paint the tops with chalk paint and write the contents on top for handy drawer storage of cereals, baking ingredients, herbs and spices
  • Paint the inside in your favourite colours and line up for stationery storage in your home office or kids’ craft station
  • Pantry shelves – use matching jars to line your pantry shelves with ingredients, snacks, pasta and cereals – the bigger the jar, the better

We all have them but are you using them to their full potential? Use several of the same size and colour to organise your under sink storage, kids toys, personal care items in your vanity and garage.

5. Toilet paper rolls

Old-school ingenuity sees these cardboard wonders organise items in your home office.

  • Fill a covered box with upright toilet roll holders to help pens and textas stay upright and ordered
  • Fold cords and store inside toilet rolls for tidy storage – write the use of the cord on the outside of the tube

7. Bookshelf

When something is beautifully styled, it looks so much more organised. Rethink how your books and objects are stored in your bookshelves to tidy things up and create a pleasing display, rather than a jammed-in jumble.
