On a decluttering buzz? 10 brilliant buys for a far more organised lifeAdd us as a preferred source on Google »

This lockdown feels like the perfect time to try and sort our lives out, no?

I mean; while we are waiting for real life to start off again, nothing makes more sense than to get set for a simpler, more organised home life once this global emergency is over, don't you think? Personally, I am on a major decluttering and tidying up buzz, and to help me on the way, I have invested in some pretty clever organising products – all designed to make our lives more streamlined, less cluttered and feel more in control. 1. Extendable storage box for the fridge (set of 3) I am forever running out of space in my fridge, especially for fruit and veggies, which I always have lots of, and these genius little storage boxes, that can be clipped onto the shelves directly, will help me with just that. £14.99, Holyswan.co.uk 2. Totesavvy handbag organising insert Life-saver! No more frantically searching for keys, phones or that snack bar you know is lurking in there! €58, ToteSavvy 3. Storage basket A far more organised pantry press, and clearly, a far prettier one too. €14.99, H&M Home organised life 4. Fridge storage container I recently stocked up on some of these for my fridge, and I cannot even begin to say how delighted it makes me to open the fridge in the morning and find it looking all tidy and lovely. I keep all the lunchbox bits together in one container, making mornings a total breeze. €6.95, The Organised Store 5. Cotton storage bag – set of two I don't have the biggest wardrobes in my house, and so tend to pack away summer clothes in the winter, and winter clothes in the summer. These clever storage bags were a find at The White Company recently, and fit perfectly under the bed. €34, The White Company 6. Underwear organizer drawer divider kit Another buy I now cannot fathom how I lived without for so long! A total game-changer, and I reckon Marie Kondo would be proud! £11.9, Amazon 7. Glass storage containers with bamboo lid Perfect for food prepping – and knowing what you have and how much of everything is bound to save you money – and cut down on waste! From €4.75, Ikea 8. Linen laundry bags (pack of 2) Made of linen with a zip fastening, these laundry bags are designed to protect delicate garments in the washing machine. €19.99, Zara Home 9. Wooden storage box Keeping organised is just so much easier with pretty storage containers. €19.99, H&M Home 10. Paul Costelloe log baskets I don't use my one for logs, but rather to store extra cushions and throws beside the sofa, so that guests can get comfy when they are over. €40-€55, Dunnes Stores
