5 containers to invest in for spring-cleaning your home

1. Modular storage units

Enter Alt Tag Here Modular storage units are flexible storage containers that can be modified to accommodate your space. They come in a variety of shapes and colours, making them easily customisable, so you don’t have to worry about them clashing with your home décor.

You can also use these types of storage containers in tricky areas of your house. You know, that area with a narrow hallway and slanted ceiling — yes, that one! It’ll no longer be a hassle storing your precious items away for the summer. You can opt to use these storage units to store your winter clothes and shoes, to make space for your summer clothing.

It’s a quick and hassle-free way to help tidy your home this spring.

2. Drawer and shelf dividers

Drawer and shelf dividers are great for spring cleaning because they help you organise your closet space more efficiently. Sure, your closet is a great space to store your clothes, shoes and other items, but these items can often get muddled up in the closet. Think about how you spend so much effort packing your clothes and shoes neatly into your closet, only for them to become messy and unorganised over a few days.

Drawer and shelf dividers will keep everything separate, keeping your closet space tidier for longer.

3. Foldable storage basket

Enter Alt Tag Here Foldable storage baskets tend to be very affordable and easy to store. They tend to be very affordable, starting from about R70 upwards. These can be used to store items such as books, stationery, photo albums as well as files containing important documents.

With a foldable storage basket, it’s easy to organise your space efficiently.

4. Plastic drawer storage unit

A plastic drawer storage unit is quite versatile. You can opt for storing stationery, books, notes, arts and crafts etc. or makeup and toiletries. It all depends on how much you use your space and what you need the extra storage for.

These storage units are a great way to organise your items because they are mostly transparent, making it easier for you to spot where you’ve placed certain items — no more pillaging your drawers looking for specific items!

5. Wooden crate Enter Alt Tag Here

Wooden crates are great for storage because they blend in with your home décor quite easily. Sometimes, opting for storage containers made of plastic can clash with your home’s aesthetic. With wooden storage units, they can often look like décor items that were placed intentionally.

Wooden crates are great for organising magazines, photo albums and books. Think about that area in your home, perhaps the living room, with frequent visitors. Placing a wooden crate with a bunch of interesting magazines for guests to read when they visit isn’t quite a bad idea.

Consider all these storage options to organise your home according to your individual needs this spring season.
