3 4 ideal homes ORGANISATION Adjustable shelves Storerooms are home to an assortment of items with various sizes and heights, so movable shelving units make a viable option for keeping them organised and retaining their shape. Compared to static shelves, adjustable types are also easily collapsible and installed, making them great when relocating houses or adapting to household changes (i.e. arrival of a new family member). Tidy up the storeroom Three essential organisation tools for godown orderliness 21 1 Transparent boxes The tactical approach to speedily locate specific stockpile items is to stash them in clear storage bins. See-through compartments give a quick overview of each box’s contents, saving you from rummaging for that one winter coat that was hastily stowed away in the storeroom six months ago. If transparent boxes appear messy for you, try wicker or linen baskets and then label them with readable markers. Magnetic containers An oft-overlooked storage opportunity inside the storeroom is the space behind its door. Make full use of the door’s rear by sticking magnetic holders on it and keeping extra pens, small household items, and other knick-knacks there. Doing so places these objects within easy reach and saves you from looking for a needle in the haystack. And because these slim containers have magnetic backings, you can remove and rearrange them as you please.
