Fancy a January clear out? This storage edit is the stuff of organising dreams

01/05/2021

January is the perfect time for decluttering and there’s plenty on TV that’s inspiring us to have a good ol’ fashioned clear out.

Whether or not you subscribe to the ‘New Year New You’ mantra, January is the perfect time to get organised – especially right now. 

Not only does this time of year lend itself to a fresh start after shrugging off the excessiveness of Christmas, but with the pandemic keeping us inside it’s also an apt time to make sure our spaces are serving us as well as they could be. 

Plus, with Netflix’s new show The Minimalists: Less Is Now captivating everyone’s attention, we’ve got that jolt of motivation to get sorted and streamlined. 

To aid you in your January de-cluttering mission, we’ve picked out some great storage solutions which are designed to make the most of small spaces and keep areas clear and tidy. Below you’ll find everything from toiletries organisers and make-up boxes to bathroom racks and leaning shelves.
