5 GAME-CHANGING BUYS

The products you need to organise your back-room kit for a smooth-running and orderly utility space

1 THE CLUTTER-CATCHING CADDIES

Open shelves give easy access to laundry essentials but having everything out on show can look untidy. Corral smaller odds and ends like washing tablets and pegs into easy-to-grab baskets with cleaning kit in a caddy so it’s easy to tote around the house. Portland storage bucket, £20; utility basket, £12; wash-up tidy and utensil holder, £10 each, all Garden Trading

2 THE ADJUSTABLE SHELVING

Stack shelves above appliances to make use of wasted wall space. This customisable system consists of easy-fit shelves and drying racks that can be clicked into place at different heights. Boaxel one-section storage, £66, Ikea

3 THE FOLD-UP LAUNDRY BASKET
