While I lust after the clean lines and airy feel of a modern and minimalist space, I have a strong penchant for collecting pretty things, and being surrounded by gorgeous homewares all day really gets my magpie side going! Needless to say, this means I need to keep on top of organization at home and in the office too. And the best way to do this is with smart storage…

Pretty much everyone can do with more storage and a well organised home just feels great, so check out our best Home Storage tips and products designed to de-clutter your space!

Hook me up!

There’s no need to hide all your treasures away, hooks and hangers are fantastic space savers in any area of the home and allow easy access to your most often used objects.

Mount them to your wall, on the back of a door or inside your wardrobe or cabinets. Whether it’s for your coats in the hallway, tea towels in the kitchen or jewellery in the bedroom, I love the General Eclectic Wooden Hooks for a stylish storage solution that looks great while working hard for your space.

If you need more space on the kitchen counter our Maxwell & Williams Magnetic Knife Hangers are a great option, and the wall mountable magnetic strip keeps knives out the reach of little hands!

Washable Paper Bags…

Yes, you read correctly, washable paper bags! This neat storage solution has so many uses; a pot holder for an indoor plant, a bowl for popcorn on movie night, a handy desk tidy for all those bits and pieces, toys, clothing or cushion storage – the possibilities are endless!

Washable paper bags wash like fabric and flatten when not in use. They mould and shape with ease and change depending how they are styled and what you put in them, and can be folded down to the height you require. The manufacturing process is similar to leather where individual sheets of paper are stretched and tanned making it durable to withstand washing.

Stack and Store!

Look in each of your closets and make sure you are using every inch of vertical space. Stack things right up to the top and into the back of the cupboards to make the best use of your space. Our fantastic range of LEGO storage bricks are great for stacking up the cupboard (if you can bear to hide them away that is!).

Officially licensed by our brick-stacking buddies in Denmark, these colourful storage solutions are shaped like everyone’s fa­vourite plastic building blocks. And as you would hope a LEGO product to do, they can connect to each other and be stacked to create giant LEGO structures. They’re also perfect for bedrooms, studies, funky boardrooms and anywhere else that needs de-cluttering.

Bring out the Baskets..

There are so many uses for baskets! They are an instant clutter buster and may even do away with the need for extra drawers and bulkier storage. Make the most of your storage potential by adding baskets to any open shelving in your home. Give each family member their own bathroom basket to keep mess in the cabinets at bay, use baskets in the pantry to store your potatoes and onions, and collate little bits and pieces that just can't seem to find their place!

For small fiddly items I like to use our pretty woven Lief Baskets at home as they're so bright and colourful and easy to clean. And for larger items, like fruit and veges, magazines, loo rolls and fabrics I can't go past our retro feel wire basket range from General Eclectic.

Go for Storage with a bit of style!

If you need to store your often-used items on your countertops, choose a storage option that compliments your decor to keep your space looking curated.

Our gorgeous retro-feel ceramic canisters are "our most popular storage solution:, and they're another option that is perfect for storing all sorts of bits and bobs all around the home or office in style. I like to use one of the tall canisters (minus the lid) for storing my pens on my desk at work, and in different sizes for tea, coffee and sugar at home.

Their smart wooden lids seal tightly and allow for easy stacking, making them great for the pantry too!
