The best organising tips from Pinterest
Getting (and staying) organised can seem like the never-ending battle. You sort out your saucepans only to realise that your cutlery drawer is in worse shape than ever. Fortunately Pinterest has come to the rescue with a compilation of their best ever organisation tips to help you find a system that will work in the long term.
- Invest in a pan organiser to keep your stacks neat and allow easy access from top to bottom.
- Use bulldog clips in your freezer – Prevent bags of frozen veggies knocking around and taking up space by hanging them from your freezer rack using bulldog clips.
- Keep bobby pins tidy – Never lose another bobby pin by attaching a magnetic strip to your bathroom cupboard and sticking them on for easy access.
- Keep electrical cords and cables under control by storing in toilet and paper towel roll holders.
- Stop your garbage bags becoming a mess by installing a small rail and popping them on that for easy dispensing.
- Repackage pantry items to maximise space. Pantries are one of the prime sites for clutter. Keep things organised with labeled containers and storage bins.
- Use unused space to your advantage – Bench tops becoming crowded? Elevate things up and away by using your wall space. Installing a railing (easily found at IKEA) with hanging baskets and bins gives you back your bench while keeping things organised.
- Maximise hanging space in your wardrobe – If you enjoy the odd can of soft drink, consider keeping the aluminum tab next time you finish your drink. It can be used to attach one clothes hanger onto another effectively doubling your hanging space. Genius!
