If you have the nightmare every morning of reaching for the cereal box and pulling out a whole heap of kitchen stuff that you don't need, then it sounds like it's time to organise those cupboards. It's annoying when things are disorganised, and it makes you more likely to want to reach for the nearest phone and call out for a curry.

A lazy Susan (turntable) shelf is a great away to make use of a cupboard if you can't reach the back or if it is a funny shape. It makes small things like spices far more accessible, and means that things won't get forgotten in the back of the cupboard either.

Go for a pull out rubbish bin rather than a small one in a cupboard, to really maximise the space. This way the full space is used rather than a portion being left to raise the lid. You could have one bin for rubbish and one for recycling to mean that you don't have to go outside to recycle your goods.

If you have a lack of cupboard space then a kitchen cart could be a good addition to your home. It will also double up as additional work surface space, and can provide a lot of extra storage to packed cupboards.

If you have limited space for big and bulky things then why not install a pot rack near to the ceiling? It's a great way to hang ungainly pots and pans and free up the space in your shelving areas for other things.

If its receipts and other important papers that you need to store then why not make a pin board out of fabric or get a magnetic board? This way all the papers are kept together and you will always know where to find something when you need it. alternatively, get an expandable file to put all papers in, and then store them alphabetically to ensure ease of finding them when you need them.
