Less is more when it comes to storage and organising. These 11 simple lifestyle hacks will change your life!

1 Purpose-built pieces

Instead of a cumbersome knife block on the kitchen bench, next time you're renovating, build in a long gap narrow enough to accommodate a blade between the wall and the benchtop for the knives to rest in. Or how about a pullout drawer or labelled baskets next to the washing machine and dryer that can hold the laundry basket for easy transferral of laundry?

2 Downsize

Compact appliances are small but mighty. Unless you have a large family, a four-slice toaster is a waste of space. You don't need to have a full-size food processor if the most you ever use it for is blitzing up a hummus, so opt for the pint-sized version. And if there's only two of you, a slimline dishwasher or single dish drawer should be ample.
