To make your home beautiful for Summer, dust off those cobwebs and take a look at these ten quick and easy life hacks from LoveSpace to help declutter your home, organise your world and make the most of your space:
1. Don’t just use the space under the stairs to store boxes – add a desk shelf to turn it into a space saving office area.
2. Old perfume boxes or cereal boxes cut in half are perfect dividers for your draws to store your smaller items like makeup, jewellery, creams or hair accessories.
3. Use curtain hooks on a wardrobe rail for your handbags, making each one clearly visible.
4. Thread your ear phone, mobile charger (in fact any type of electrical wire!) through each end of a clothes peg to keep them nice and tidy and untangled.
5. Stuff old tissue boxes with all your old plastic bags and keep under the sink to save space and keep everything neat and tidy.
6. Use shower curtain rings to hang your scarfs through, and then attach all to a hanger – one hanger = all your scarfs!
7. Use chalkboard paint on a kitchen wall to write to-do lists, and messages to do away with the need for messy bits of paper.
8. Recycle jam jars and pasta sauce jars for candle holders, or to store paperclips, staples or any other little knick-knacks – Glue the lid to the underside of a table or shelf and simply twist the jar off to access what’s inside.
9. Mount a tension rod inside cabinets beneath your sink to hang your cleaning bottles on, providing more space below.
10. Take the lid off tin cans, paint the outsides to make them pretty – glue to them to a bathroom wall, then roll up hand towels and insert to create a funky storage solution?
