Debunk drawer
dilemmas
Sort through messy kitchen drawers
one by one and bring calm to the
chaos by using dividers. “Invest in ones
that fit perfectly,” says Samantha
Pointon. “Measure before you go
or place a piece of paper in the
drawer, trace the outline and cut
out. Then take the paper to the
shops and find a combination of
organisers that matches up.”

Perfect your pantry
An Instagrammable pantry
isn’t as hard as it looks. Pull everything
out and wipe down the shelves. Then
invest in a set of food containers of
varying heights and sizes. Organise
the space so the most-used items are
at eye level and the heaviest items are
on the lower shelves. Use baskets to
corral smaller, miscellaneous products.

Make a cleaning kit
Reduce the elbow grease
needed to keep your bathroom
sparkling with daily maintenance.
Keep a kit under the vanity with a
glass-cleaning spray, disinfectant, a
microfibre cloth and a squeegee and
adopt a clean-as-you-go mentality.

Remember dates
Drawer dividers and cosmetic
organisers work well to keep your
skincare and make-up in order, but

don’t let expired products waste
space. “Mark your make-up and
skincare products with the date you
purchased them to help you declutter
when they expire,” says Eve Mizzi.

Towel off
Too many towels for that hook
on the back of the bathroom door?
Then it’s time to buy a towel rail!
Heated options also help to dry towels
faster. Freestanding models come in a
variety of sizes, plug into power points,
are an easy fix and ideal for renters.

Clear the decks
The garage can quickly
become an untidy place for items
that don’t belong in the house. Set
up a system by grouping goods by
function using large, multipurpose tubs
with labels. “Have a designated tub
that stuff goes in when it leaves the
house, and then once a week (or
month) bring it out with everyone
around and see if it should be kept
or donated,” suggests Samantha.

Bring back order
Lockable steel cabinets in
the garage or shed can be used to
hide away stacks of items or plastic
tubs that were out on open shelves.
As well, they can also offer peace
of mind by having power tools and
other expensive equipment less
visible and more secure from theft.
