Having binge watched Sort your life out I’m going to IKEA soon on a mission to get some organisation into my kitchen cupboards. Thinking pasta/flour/spices/jars/tins etc.

Hit me with your ideas please! I’ll have kids with me so doubt I’ll have the luxury of browsing.

Square containers rather than round - can fit more in. Tesco own brand herbs and spices a so much easier to store because of this.
Drawers are better than cupboards - if you are stuck with cupboards try and get baskets or boxes that fit them well so you can use the full depth. My baskets don't go quite to the back but I can easily reach the things at the back when I remove the basket in front.
Make sure you measure the width of your cupboards before shopping for fittings, it's frustrating to get home and find the things don't fit.

My best idea so the vegetables don't "contaminate" their neighbours with mold Wink with cheap Ikea containers
