The secret to a clutter-free home? It starts with these three tips

There's never a bad time to start decluttering and getting organised, but the longer summer days make it the perfect opportunity to refresh the home.

Whether that’s looking to make better use of space or simply keep everyday essentials neatly organised, a few smart storage solutions can make all the difference. With that in mind, Rikke Blaesild, Design and Range Manager at JYSK UK, shares her top three tips for mastering Storage 101.

1.Use baskets and boxes for those smaller items

Nothing is more efficient for keeping things out of the way than baskets and boxes. They enable you to store everything under the sun in a practical and decorative way. An advantage of using basked and boxes is that they can be used as a practical and stylish storage solution in almost any room. They are easy and flexible to move around, therefore you can easily give your home a quick makeover. 

2.Move storage from the floor

People always overlook the back of a door as a storage solution. If you attach coat hooks or coat rack to a door, you can take advantage of the back of the door for hanging bags, coats, jackets etc. That way you can use the space in your cupboard, where these items might have hung, for something else.  

3.Storage ideas with multi-functional furniture

Kill two birds with one stone by choosing multi-functional furniture, which is perfect for creating more practical storage solutions. Seating with built-in storage for example, a storage bench or a coffee table with smart storage space are both extremely efficient storage solutions.
