Cupboard love W

e’ve all done it – spending precious minutes rooting through your kitchen cupboards to find that long-lost jar of spice, or discovering you’ve already got a four pack of tinned tomatoes when you’ve just bought more. What we all need is a little more order behind those closed doors, not just to save time, but also that most precious commodity – space. Start small, with one cupboard at a time, emptying out the contents, checking the use-by dates and binning anything that’s past it. Uniformity is your friend, so measure the space and maximise it by using boxes, baskets and jars for sturdy stacking. Neat, tidy and stylish, these nifty storage solutions will have you and your kitchen sorted in a jiffy.
