Quick, easy ideas to organise, update and upgrade your home this season.

Hello Sunshine!

install a shelf over a DESK

Expand your workspace with just a few taps of a hammer, making room to store extra tech items or books. It’s also a clever way to display artwork; you can easily swap in new frames or layer pieces that you love.

streamline the KITCHEN

LET WINDOWS GO BARE Say bye-bye to over-the-sink blinds or curtains. The ceiling will feel higher, more natural light will filter in and there will be one less thing to collect dust!

PURGE RARELY USED APPLIANCES If it’s taking up space and it doesn’t bring you joy, make like pro organiser Marie Kondo and take this opportunity to clear the clutter.

Move plates from high up to low down. This will make them easier to take out and put away. Install an affordable peg system in a deep drawer to keep them in place.

dress up your JUNK DRAWER

There’s no reason this necessary household evil can’t be pretty and functional! Repurpose small decorative plates and bowls to store batteries, charging cords, flash drives and other knick-knacks. Anchor them on a non-slip liner.

perfect the PANTRY

Employ these strategies (in the duo’s new book, The Home Edit [Octopus Publishing Group, R645, Exclusive Books]) for food storage that will make you say ‘Ah!’

1 PILE ON THE CONTAINERS Group items you use together (like baking goods) in wicker baskets or clear bins so you can grab them all at once.

2 LINE UP CANS ON RISERS They make use of vertical space and display your full inventory.

3 DECANT DRY GOODS Use clear containers so you can see how much flour, cereal or rice you have left before a grocery run.
