Organise your home – tips to help you declutter

1. INVEST IN NICE STORAGE BOXES & BASKETS

For the most part, it is the small things that cause us the most bother in everyday life: keys that are not where they should be, papers covering the sides and children's toys scattered around the room. The solution to each of these problems is simple: stylish storage boxes and baskets.

The stylish storage basket Restore from Muuto is perfect for collecting books, while a practical basket set like Edition from House Doctor can take care of everything from unused toys to the blankets you do not want to laying around the bedroom. Investing in stylish storage baskets makes it a little more fun to organise your home.

2. UTILISE THE WALLS IN SMALL SPACES

We do not always have room for as much storage as we need in a room. In these cases, it is a great idea to utilise the space on the walls. The stylish Pythagoras shelving systems from Maze work perfectly to use as an alternative to bedside tables in cramped bedrooms, while a smaller hall is brought into order with these stylish hooks The Dots.

ORGANISE YOUR HOME - TIPS FOR STYLISH STORAGE FOR ALL ROOMS

Each room has its own organisational needs, so here are some storage tips that can make everyday life a little easier:

FOR THE HALL

• A side table for your mail, keys and bag, when you get inside the door.
• A hat shelf with hooks for your coats & jackets.
• A shoe shelf – tip: sort your shoes according to the season so there will be less to store at one time.
• An umbrella-stand so you can easily and conveniently find your umbrella when you need it.

FOR THE BEDROOM

• Smaller boxes or jars to put your jewellery and other small items in.
• A basket to put decorative pillows and bedspreads in when you go to sleep.
• A clothes rack that you can hang tomorrow's clothes on, so you avoid stress in the morning when you leave. <br>

FOR THE CHILDREN'S ROOM

• Simple hooks for children's bags, clothes or toys.
• Cute storage baskets for all their little toys and crafts.
• For larger toys, a storage bench can be a smart way to decorate the children's room, it also doubles as a practical seating area.
• A smaller bookcase is perfect for storing favourite books and also makes a lovely place to display the best toys and decorations.<br>

FOR THE BATHROOM

• A stylish laundry basket like the Herman wash basket from Ferm Living
• A stylish toothbrush holder.
• Smaller storage baskets so you can organise everything from make-up to hygiene products.
• A soap dish or stylish tray to store hand soap and hand cream - it will also give your bathroom a more luxurious feeling. <br>

FOR THE KITCHEN

• Practical glass jars that you can store dry food in for a more organised and stylish appearance in the kitchen cabinets.
• A dish brush organiser so you have the dish brush and detergent collected.
• A tray to group spices and oil and vinegar bottles on. <br>

FOR THE LIVING ROOM

• A newspaper-stand to stop your newspaper ending up all over the living room before you are finished reading.
• A storage basket for blankets and throws that you do not want on the sofa.
• A tray to store all remote controls on so you do not have them scattered in the living room. <br>
