(Not seen the seat of that bedroom chair in a long while? We feel you.) Following a few organisational tips will help you maximise your storage space, keeping your interiors looking spick and span 24X7. You won’t even have to scramble to get things looking spiffy for short-intimation guests. THE One Bin It Wait, that doesn’t mean get rid of it. Instead use bins made from ecofriendlly materials (cloth, wood or bamboo) to compartmentalise your drawers and large storage areas. Perfect to store like items, linen, toys or paraphernalia. They even double-up to hold newspapers and magazines in the living room without looking like too much of an eye sore. Gift Drawer Gifts and tags bought in advance for future occasions? Some beautiful wrapping paper and ribbon left over? Dedicating a shelf or box to gifting lets you store gift essentials in a way they will keep well and avoid unnecessary wastage. Rise to the Occasion Shelf risers are a clever way of maximising real estate in taller storage space, like kitchen or vanity cabinets. Place short items like boxes and tubs underneath and jars, tubes and bottles with height over or besides the risers for added ease. Works just as well for countertops and dressing tables. Wardrobe Wonders Keep your wardrobe looking organised with nifty storage solutions that’ll help you select the right clothing and accessories in a pinch.
