The Slightly Obsessive Storage Thread

[whatashower]

By popular request from the Property/DIY section, a new thread on smart and possibly ingenious storage solutions from kitchen drawers to cupboards and beyond. Post your storage problems and inspirational solutions here. Thank you.

Ah that's crap. I would get a whole new drawer. that is a new level of obsession though. all here

This is what I've just ordered. Two of them will house everything! Pans/plates/cups/food/crap drawer. I'm ridiculously excited.

Hemi could you just get two bits of wood and insert to make sides? Or, buy a thin plank - floorboard/cladding and make a box frame to fit exactly inside your drawer?

I"m not that practical when it comes to DIY (very small flat). But the idea of new drawer boxes is rather appealing... Might look into that one a bit, well at least for some day in the future when I can afford it!! (It's new build, so all brand new and feels a bit extravagant to replace things, but there are lots of things I wouldn't have chosen!)

Those internal drawers might be a good solution!

OK, we have made some fabulous storage suggestions, but I think a bit of tidy up ranting is also allowed. My pet hate is the selling of the impossible, the unachievable and the unaffordable in the quest for tidy zen.

First up, aplaceforeverything aka apriceforeverything are today's offenders.

In order to achieve this orderly state of affairs, I imagine most of us mortals would have to throw out nearly all their clothing leaving only a teeny weeny colour co-ordinated 'capsule'. And find £949 for the privilege. FT.

Anyway, whatever you did, it would NEVER LOOK LIKE THAT.

Feel free to vent your own pet storage peeves.

percytuffety quite apart from the fabulous username I am thrilled you are going "tool" for your kitchen. When Do They Arrive - and where did you get them from? Share all!

scroll down 3rd kitchen - teak and black matt - any idea where I can buy something similar in UK?

whatashower they're here! They came yesterday. My kitchen used to be a mess because I had no storage. Now I've created a galley kitchen and every single thing has a home! Plates, sauces pans, glasses, food (one drawer is the exact, right depth for tins). I've even got a candle drawer! And a lightbulb drawer!

So excited for you, this sounds soooooo orderly! I am a little bit jealous but so pleased that you were inspired to go down this route. I think they are so ideal and fit for purpose in a kitchen. Where did you get them from in the end?

Percy tell us more! How big are they? How did you make space for them?

Another20 gorgeous! Probably best not to know how much they cost...

I'll put some pics up tomorrow of kitchen but I bought two of these - pic below hopefully. They 72" (6ft) long.

Tool chest.

Oh Percy, I caved and would you believe ....just went and got the mahoosive 96" one.........24 drawers of happiness 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Arrives Tuesday, tickled pink.

WHERE ARE YOUR PICS?
