As spring arrives, it’s the perfect time for a thorough clear-out and reorganisation, not to mention a deep clean! With this in mind, we’ve compiled our favourite spring storage hacks to help keep your home effortlessly organised well into the season and beyond. Organised by room, read on for our essential storage hack guide.
Storage Hacks for Your Kitchen
-
Fridge Focus
Reclaim your fridge by organising it with clear Perspex drawers. Group items such as condiments, cheeses, and juices into separate drawers for easy access. This method also contains any potential leaks.
-
Counter Canisters & Jars
If you’ve ever searched for caster sugar only to spill flour everywhere, it’s time to reorganise. Invest in airtight jars or canisters to store pantry essentials like flour, cereal, and lentils. This not only keeps things tidy but also helps you keep track of your supplies.
Declutter Your Living Space
-
Junk Drawer
Most households have a junk drawer filled with odds and ends. Simple drawer organisers or clear canisters can help manage the accumulation of stationery, batteries, and other miscellaneous items. Introduce a dedicated box for money-saving vouchers and gift cards, ensuring everything is secure and easily accessible.
Give Order to Your Study
-
Paperwork Filing
To manage daily paperwork efficiently, use a two-level paper tray, one labelled ‘Action’ and the other ‘File’. Organise them in lever arch files with dividers for household bills, banking, and investments.
Storage Hacks for the Bedroom
-
Clothes Overhaul
After decluttering your wardrobe, you might still find it bursting at the seams. To determine which items to part with, hang your clothes with the hangers backwards. When you wear a piece, return it to the hanger the right way round. By the end of the season, it will be clear which items haven’t been worn and can be donated.
-
Linen Storage
A practical storage hack we recommend is folding fitted sheets, top sheets, and extra pillowcases, then placing them inside a matching pillowcase. This method keeps everything together and easy to find.
-
Vacuum Pack
To maximise wardrobe space, consider vacuum storage bags for bulky winter clothing like jumpers and coats. These bags can reduce the size of your items by up to 75%, allowing for more storage and protecting your clothes from dust and moths.
Love Your Loft
For items you won’t need for at least six months, consider storing them safely in your loft space. Have you thought about loft boarding for safe and accessible storage?
Transforming your loft into a storage haven has never been easier with our raised loft boarding system, which also enhances insulation, potentially saving you money on energy bills. Standard loft boarding can compress insulation, leading to dampness that may damage your belongings and your home’s structure. That’s why Key Loft Storage proudly offers the raised loft boarding system.
