Hi
would like to organise this cupboard - we can now access it but not sure how best to arrange it and which bits of clutter we should keep in it!
Thanks

Best thing we did was put some cheap metal shelves in ours. They stop junk accumulating on the floor (except for when dh buys cases of wine...). I have everything in labelled boxes on the shelves.

Ours is fab. It has the original built in cupboards and shelves. Space for everything and lots of hooks - hanging up everything.

Our opens out in the kitchen rather than the hall, so it's supposed to be a panty but we use it as a utility/walk-in cupboard.

It's got shelves down one side, I've also gone for keeping things in boxes and baskets, rather than loose on the shelves - it looks tidier and seems to stop things just being shoved in there.

I also keep the mop/bucket, vac etc in it at the back.

A little mattress on the floor and you can have Harry Potter to stay over.
