Four money-saving storage tricks to get on top of clutter after Christmas
DOES the house suddenly feel a little cramped after catering for the masses yesterday?
If you’re overwhelmed by the clutter, why not soothe your stress with these space and money-saving storage tricks.
DREAMY DISHES: Find a brilliant selection of smart kitchen storage at Wilko.
More plates can be stacked in cupboards with the multi- purpose storage stand, £5.
Pop new mugs on to a hanging shelf, costing £4.
It latches on to the existing kitchen cupboard shelf to create another layer of storage.
BLING THINGS: Lucky enough to receive a necklace or earrings among your gifts?
You might find that keeping them somewhere they won’t get lost or tangled can be a fiddly business.
Get down to Lidl this week and choose from two Esmerelda jewellery boxes, priced £9.99 each, and both cheaper than the quality suggests.
Or raid the shed — clear screw organisers are great for jewellery.
You can pick up a new version for £7.99 at amazon.co.uk.
WARDROBE WONDER: Store your new shirts on a space-saving hanger — one hook holds multiple items.
A set of four from Habitat will only set you back £5, and each one takes nine garments.
New socks? Arrange loo roll tubes vertically in your drawer and pop a pair in each.
Make space for a new winter coat by putting summer clothes in a bin bag, then sucking the air out with a vacuum.
You’ll have a space-saving bundle that can slide under the bed and out of sight!
And visit the Ikea sale for an over-the-door, fabric, 16-pair shoe organiser priced £6.
YOU BEAUTY: New make-up always looks lovely laid out on the dress-ing table, but if you haven’t got much space, look for mini desktop drawers or clear stacking boxes to keep things neat.
Raid the local charity shops between now and New Year to see what you can find.
At The Range there are discounts across its cosmetics storage selection.
An organiser with a drawer and compartments for beauty brushes was £12.99, now £10.
