12 kitchen storage ideas to clear the clutter

These are 12 of my favourite storage ideas to clear the clutter and keep calm in your kitchen. Whether it's large or small, there are many to maximise the space around us. In this video, I go behind the scenes in my London kitchen to share my top 12 storage ideas in my kitchen. We are moving later this month and will miss my cute kitchen and many memories of filming and baking.

I have moved house countless times; I lost count after fifteen and have lived in small apartments for the last 15 years. I am very experienced in having to be creative with limited storage space in my kitchen. I have collected several ideas to improve and utilise my kitchen storage. Many items are inexpensive and suitable for a rental, such as the handy shelf insert from Ikea or the Ikea storage boxes. Some are more expensive items to invest in if your own your home, such as the custom-made oak shelves for open storage or the wall-mounted no-mess coat hook rack.

A few of my other tips and ideas are a starting point for you to adapt to your space and budget, like a tray to store soaps and brushes near the kitchen sink, a nest of mixing bowls, and stackable storage containers in your pantry. These are just 12 of my favourite storage ideas to clear the clutter and keep calm in your kitchen.
