Kitchen cupboard storage solutions
Tip 1
Start one section at a time so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. Empty the first cupboard, clean the space and store the items in category order. This will bring calm and clarity inside your cupboard space.
Tip 2
Purchase some kitchen storage cupboard essentials to help keep everything in order. Tiered shelving is great to see everything that is inside your cupboard, and a Lazy Susan will help keep items such as spices neatly organised and easily accessible.

Tip 3
Use labels so that everyone in the home knows where things belong. This is a great way to ensure that things remain neatly organised, as everything will have its own individual place and will be labelled clearly for everyone to see.

Tip 4
Upcycle your old containers to use as storage. Plastic fruit containers are especially great for this. Just give them a wash and pop them inside your fridge to store loose items such as garlic, chillis and ginger.
Tip 5
Utilise your space to suit your own style. If the space works and helps you and your family lead a happy life, then that’s all that matters.
