“My absolute game changer is using these caddies inside my kitchen cupboards. I use three to a shelf, one with spices, one with all the half-used bags of pasta, and loads more. I never have to take a million things out of the cupboard to get to things at the back, I never have the top shelf raining down on me. It is so satisfying to just pull out the caddy I need, select the item and put the rest back in one easy move. I'll never go back.”

Lots of Mumsnetters prefer drawers to cupboards because they use space more efficiently and it's easier to see what you've crammed in stored in them. If you don't fancy remodelling your whole kitchen, you can use these inexpensive raised shelves to maximise storage and make the most of the space in your cupboards. They're also handy for adding stability to previously precarious stacks of tins and jars.

“我用这些来腾出空间。”

“我用橱柜架子排列食物。”

For complete cupboard uniformity, Mumsnetters recommend decanting dry goods like pasta, cereal, and flour into these air-tight Lock & Lock containers. They stack snugly one on top of the other so you can make the most of cupboard space while avoiding Tupperware landslides. Plus, they're clear so you can see exactly what you've got in each one and keep an eye on stock levels too. The smaller sizes make excellent lunch boxes, though you will have to guard them jealously in communal kitchens.

If you're keen to cut down on your plastic usage, opt forLock & Lock's Ovenglass range, which is made mostly from glass and is oven, microwave, and dishwasher-safe.

“我买了负载。锁和锁在他们的下面说他们的存储容量是什么，因此您可以购买所需的东西，然后重复购买最多使用的东西。我会这样做，而不是预先购买。他们也很好地堆叠。我很高兴我。”

这些塑料室非常适合保持有组织的工艺材料，并安全地存储那些最终的重要乐高积木，否则最终会进入胡佛内部。每个迷你盒都带有牢固固定的盖子，嘿，没有修复在较大的组织者内部，因此您可以根据需要滑出每个盒子，而无需移动整个设置。整个设备是独立的，但也可以墙壁安装以节省空间。

“I use a big plastic storage box with lots of mini compartments I got from a DIY shop. It's intended purpose is for storing nails and screws and thingies. It is most useful. Also for LEGO.”

Perfect for keeping LEGO play contained (and minimising your chance of stepping on one in the middle of the night). This drawstring bag unfolds into a play mat 150cm in diameter and, when its time to tidy up, all you have to do is pull on the drawstring and all their toys are safe and organised. It's useful for keeping toys organised at home, but it really comes into its own when travelling – whether you're going round the corner to visit grandparents or you're off camping for a week. They're so handy that Mumsnetters are willing to overlook the rather reductive range of colours available (either blue and pink, obvs).

“You can buy drawstring mats which keep the LEGO in one place while you're playing with it and make it easy to rummage around for pieces, then, when it's time to tidy up, you simply pull the drawstring and it's all contained in a big bag.”

Whether you're looking for shelves to go on the wall or bookcase-style storage, you can't go wrong with IKEA's KALLAX range. Available in a range of sizes and finishes, with doors or drawers, they're endlessly customisable – you can even get KALLAX units with built-in desks or on wheels. Also, once you've chosen a perfectly-sized unit for your space, you can make it work even harder by adding baskets, hanging organisers and other dividers. Mumsnetters advise that you get doors on at least some of the cubby holes if you plan to store toys in them as it will help your room look neater.

“IKEA KALLAX are great for toy storage – with baskets for bottom two spaces (with very young children just bottom one).”

“KALLAX is great and swallows a lot of stuff!”

试图说服孩子捡起散落的玩具across the living room and put them away in their own rooms (only for them to reappear hours later) is an ongoing battle in homes all over the country. Mumsnetters advise adjusting your expectations somewhat and designating a space for toys in your living room. This doesn't mean you have to find a plastic tub that matches your colour scheme, these ottoman benches from Made.com are as functional as they are stylish. They're spacious enough to store plenty of toys, DVDs and extra blankets and they have a gas piston for slow-release closure – perfect for keeping little fingers safe. Plus, they double as extra seating if you have a house-full.

“Large footstools that open up are great for hiding kids' toys in the living room.”

Roomy, sleek, and tailored to your space, built-in wardrobes are a wonderful addition to your bedroom. They're nice and deep, with lots of room for hanging clothes, but there is often lots of unused space at the bottom of the wardrobe that could be put to good use. These shoe storage boxes are the perfect way to make the most of that space. They can be stacked any way you like and they're big enough to fit men's and women's shoes (if you feel like sharing). You can see exactly what you've stored in each, and the front flips down so you can remove your chosen pair without disturbing the others.

“I have shoe boxes like this in my wardrobes. They fit one pair of adult trainers or multiple pairs of flip flops/sandals or children's shoes.”

“Fabulous. I think I have 15 in this size, but I’m sure I need more! They mean you can fit so much more in deep cupboards and still get to it all easily.”

You could, of course, use this shoe tidy as a neat solution for storing your shoes, but why not take inspiration from one innovative MNer and use it to organise everything you need to leave the house? The pockets are the perfect size for storing hats, gloves, suncream, umbrellas (and more) and having them all in one place will save you precious time when trying to leave the house en famille.
