6 quick organisational hacks you need in your life

Tired of clutter? Here are some simple ways to save space and get your life organised in a snap.

When spring arrives, bringing brighter days with it, the urge to get your home organised is not usually too far behind. We want our homes to feel fresh and clean, and so we need to get clutter under control.

Sometimes, it can be hard to know where to start, so we’ve rounded up our favourite organisation hacks. Even better, they can each be done in the time it takes you to have a tea break with your favourite biscuit. Our choice? Maltesers biscuits with three baubles which are easy to snap, dunk and enjoy!

So the next time you put the kettle on and enjoy an afternoon snack, why not try one of these clever clutter-busting ideas?

Kitchen cupboards

If you spend ages looking for things at the back of your kitchen cupboards, this is a good place to tackle. A lazy susan that fits inside allows you to access everything easily: no more reaching to the very back.

Alternatively, decanting everything into clear containers will make it easier to find what you’re looking for.

Make use of wall space

Plenty of us aren’t using the full potential of our wall space for storage, but it’s easy to quickly create extra space.

Use stick-on hooks to hang anything from frying pans to your most-used cooking utensils, and as an added bonus they’ll always be to hand. If you want to make use of a large area of wall, consider installing rails which you can hang lots of items off.

TikTok has shown us a clever way to free up space in your wardrobe: use the tab from a drinks can to double up your hangers.

Prevent clutter

If you find that one spot in your home tends to attract clutter, why not put a decorative item there to stop it accumulating there? A potted plant, a pretty vase or a stack of coffee table books all work well.

Keep sheets together

The next time you wash bed sheets, keep each set together by folding them, then placing everything into one of the set’s pillowcases.

Organise your drawers

We all have an insert to keep our cutlery drawers in order, but the same principle applies to any kind of drawer. Use small boxes or dividers to keep any drawer organised, whether it holds socks , lunchboxes, or toiletries.

If you’re looking for the perfect biscuit for your afternoon break, try Maltesers Chocolate Biscuits. With three malty bobbles in each biscuit, smothered in smooth milk chocolate, perfect to snap, crunch or dunk, what’s not to love?

Have you tried them yet? Maltesers Chocolate Biscuits are the perfect excuse to put the feet up. Enjoy a cup of tea and Maltesers Biscuits as an afternoon pick me up, have an afternoon snap!
