Organise It! Storage Tips & Tricks to Organise Your Home

Over the course of a year, we collect so many things around the house. We could all do with some decluttering tips and help to organise our homes. It's time to stop putting it off, time to choose what needs keeping, throwing out and storing away.

If you're struggling for ideas, don’t fret! B&M is here to help with our value Organise It range. In this blog, we'll share some fantastic ideas for decluttering and organising your living spaces. So, let's dive in and get your home from chaotic to zen!

Cleaning Cupboard

Is the cleaning cupboard in your home overflowing with bottles, sprays and cloths? Many people keep cleaning products under the sink, but it can become messy and disorganised over time. Let's pull everything out and get started.

Grab some storage baskets, tubs or trays, depending on your preference, and perfect your cleaning cupboard organisation. We recommend considering the weight of the items you'll be adding to the tub and ensuring a sturdy enough container. The Studio storage box range is ideal for the weightier products.

Organise the cleaning items into sections. All of your surface, multi-purpose, bathroom cleaners and window sprays can go into one category. Utensils like dusters and cloths into another, perhaps with a lid to keep them under control. Washing up essentials, like liquid, scouring pads and sponges could go together.

Tidily place each category into their own tub and put it back into the cupboard. Now look at that! Isn’t that the cleanest your cleaning cupboard has ever looked?

Do you have a larger space for your cleaning supplies, like a broom cupboard? Take control of this often-neglected space by using hooks, shelves, and plastic tubs to keep your cleaning essentials in order. Some broom cupboard organisation will make it a breeze to grab what you need and keep your home spick and span.

B&M Tip: Easily carry your core cleaning supplies around the house with this Slogan Cleaning Caddy. It has space for bottles, sponges and more, with a comfortable handle.

Kitchen Organisation Ideas

The kitchen is the heart of the home, but finding the right utensils when it gets messy can be a nightmare. Fear not! Reorganising your kitchen cupboards can be a game-changer.

Arrange your pots, pans, and baking essentials with ease by using smart plastic storage tubs and food storage containers. These tubs save space and keep your kitchen clutter-free, making it a breeze to whip up your favourite treats.

Are you running out of cupboard space? Hanging caddy's over cabinet doors can help utilise otherwise useless space. Think about taking out those large pots and pans and hanging them up or stacking them on a pan storage stand.

Woks, frying pans, and saucepans can take up lots of room in cupboards and drawers. If you can organise them efficiently, you’ll be amazed with the extra space for kitchen storage you can create.

The kitchen is such an important space, we've got a whole blog on storage ideas to organise your kitchen.

How to Organise Your Tupperware Cupboard

Ah, the notorious Tupperware cupboard - it's always a struggle to keep organised. Wave goodbye to the avalanche of lids and containers with a few simple tricks. We recommend stacking containers by size, nest the lids together, and store them all in a designated space. The collection will expand to the room you give it, so be brutal and only keep the containers you actually use.

For added organisation, consider investing in a cosmetic makeup organiser to store lids. Yes, you heard that right! These versatile organisers work wonders for keeping Tupperware chaos at bay. If your store of Tupperware simply will not stack neatly, consider getting a new set like these stackable meal prep bowls.

Sort those Food Cupboards

Are your food cupboards looking a little disorderly? Rice packets, pasta sauces and sachets all over the place? Pick yourself up a three tier packet organiser to tame that cupboard. Line up the packets and sachets by size and voila!

Organise spices with a spice rack and store pasta in containers for freshness and style. How to organise your kitchen cupboards depends on what food you're storing. Here are some great racks and organisers to make the most of the space:

Pack Your Clothes Away

Picture this: You're in your favourite summer outfit, ready to tackle the day. But wait, where are those cute summer clothes you bought last year? Time to tackle the wardrobe! Start by sorting through your wardrobe and identify the summer clothes you want to keep readily accessible.

For seasonal items like winter coats, consider investing in handy storage drawers. These nifty drawers will help you keep your off-season clothing organised and easily accessible when the chill sets in.

With a Jumbo Underbed Storage Box, you can fold and store away a huge haul of clothes. Clearing out your wardrobe and drawers until the colder weather reappears will create a real sense of cleanliness. It's also more exciting when you swap over the seasonal items, as you won't have seen them for a while!

Make-Up Storage Drawers

If you have makeup scattered around your house, gather it all in one neat place. Pick up these 4 Tier Drawers – compact, yet spacious enough to store lots of little items. With transparent drawers, you’ll be able to see exactly which products you have. Especially once you’ve organised them into categories!

There are also much smaller cosmetic make-up organisers, ideal for bathroom or bedroom worktops. If you want to organise your beauty products like a pro, check out our blog for a complete beauty declutter.

Organising Your Home Office

Working from home can be delightful, but a cluttered home office can zap your productivity. Clear the chaos from your workspace by decluttering your desk and utilising storage drawers to keep office supplies tidy. A well-organised home office will inspire creativity and help you get your tasks done efficiently. Leaving you with more time to do what you love!

By organising your home, you're creating an oasis of tranquillity and functionality. Remember, it's not just about decluttering; it's about embracing calm with a well-organised space. So, it's time to declutter and organise your home!
