There is nothing more annoying than messy, overfilled drawers and cupboards that are already gathering dust because of their seldom use. Over time the apparent order tends to disappear completely and cupboards as well as drawers end up being like a magnet for chaos. This obviously does not make finding something any easier!
What if, once and for all, we decide to bring order back into them and to make our storage really functional in the long term by reorganising the space we have?
If you feel overwhelmed by that, it is best to go step by step, room by room or one drawer or cupboard a day. Little by little you will notice the awesome difference and order will take hold.
Kitchen drawers and cupboards

The kitchen is a place at home which is characterised by rush and where everything has to go quickly. Mostly, the lack of time prevents us from tidying up the messy work surfaces and it gets messier and messier by time until we cannot find the right utensils anymore.
The solution for being efficient and time-saving at the same time is obviously a well-organised kitchen with tidy drawers and arranged cupboards. Thus, you are able to enjoy cooking again.
Organising kitchen drawers
If your kitchen drawers are not already divided, use drawer dividers or organisers for getting a clearer overview of your cooking items. This way you can assign a specific place to each utensil. One compartment for knives, one for wooden ladles, another one for spoons and the other one for spatulas as well as for can and bottle openers.
Bulky utensils which do not fit into your drawers very well can be stored in a box or basket on the work surface. Ideally, keep all your useful utensils in the most convenient place when cooking.

Optimising kitchen cupboards
To save space and make the most of the available height, there are liner bases that can be inserted between two shelves. These make it possible to store dishes or food on several levels without having to take everything out to reach them. And rather than stacking fragile pans and lids, keep them on divided metal shelves. Also consider wooden crates or baskets for food and bottle racks for wine, water or juices. If you prefer buying groceries or other things in large quantities, use clear jars.
Arranging the cupboard under the sink
Make the most of this usually neglected area instead of using it as a dumping ground. Place a pull-out shelf under the sink that adapts to the width of the kitchen cabinet. Thanks to the sliding shelves, you can conveniently store sponges and cleaning products on either side of the drain. However, remember to keep dangerous products out of the reach of children and pets! Add a few small natural baskets, which are enough to complete the organisation of rags and textiles.
Bathroom drawers and cupboards

Another area at home where it is tricky to keep everything in order is definitely the bathroom. Although it is a room where we want to calm down after a stressful day. After you’ve thought about organising your drawers and cupboards, don’t hesitate to weed out any superfluous or expired products. It’s time to tidy up!
Sorting contents of bathroom drawers
Use boxes and baskets to categorise different kind of products. For facial care, body care, electronic devices such as razors, hair dryers, epilators, etc., use decorative boxes and baskets which also spice up the interior design at home. For small beauty accessories such as nail files, nail clippers and hair ties, opt for holders that can be easily stored in drawers.

Organising bathroom cupboards
The bottom of cupboards is often difficult to reach, making it easy to create clutter. To make accessibility easier, store your items in baskets, so they can be pulled out when needed. This is a very useful solution for towels and personal care products. On the other hand, if they are medicines, take care if you have small children or pets and choose a not easily accessible place for storing them. Alternatively, you can equip the cupboard with a childproof safety system. Make-up utensils and accessories are well-kept in make-up organisers with compartments. Some even have drawers in which jewellery can be stored.
Drawers and cupboards in the bedroom
The best way to keep your wardrobe free of clutter is to keep out-of-season clothes.

Sorting dressing room drawers
The first step to organise your wardrobe effectively is to get your clothes well-organised again. Add drawer dividers to divide underwear, socks and accessories. This way you will always have all your things in view and avoid rummaging through them every single time. Sorting them by colour, for example, will save you time when choosing your outfit. Additionally, the aesthetic enhancement of your drawers will be spiced up as well.
Brighten up shelves and wardrobes
When it comes to wardrobes, tidying and clearing out are a must. Start by separating the clothes you like from those you never wear. Once you have set aside the excess clothes so they can be donated, it is time for the second part of sorting. This time by season. This is where vacuum bags and boxes come in, which save three times as much space by removing the air inside. Vacuum storage products are easy to place on shelves and allow you to effectively tidy up and eliminate clutter. But not only clothes, but also duvets and home textiles. In addition, some products can even be hung up to save space in the wardrobe.

Keeping children’s wardrobes tidy
Vacuum bags are ideal for storing clothes that are too small, too big, or in other words, clothes that you plan to keep for your brothers, sisters or cousins. The simplest and most decorative solution for toys are natural baskets in which they can be organised by category. You can choose all the same colour or mix the colours so that the children can easily identify them.
Office drawers and cupboards
Sorting, filing… these are not always pleasant activities. But it is the only alternative to ensure a functional workspace and avoid losing important documents. It’s best to just keep the essentials on top of your desk: basically, a document holder, a pen holder and your laptop.

Organising desk drawers
For example, assign one drawer for office supplies, one for current documents and another for archived documents. Divide working utensils such as pens, scissors, glue, tape and erasers by using bamboo containers. These will structure your drawer clearer and will give you a good overview of your belongings.
Choose elastic folders to organise your documents. Remember to label them so you can identify each folder at a glance, or use a filing cabinet if you only have a few documents to store.
Rethinking wardrobe storage
For aesthetic and practical reasons, the ideal way to sort papers into different coloured folders is to store them in vertical files and file holders. This will make your shelves aesthetically pleasing. The documents to be archived can be stored in simple cardboard boxes which you should label carefully.

In summary, as far as possible, only keep what is worth keeping. If you want your interior to be harmonious and well-equipped, these advices apply to every room in the house. In other words, clear away anything unsightly in cupboards and drawers and only showcase what is of real decorative interest.
