Storage boxes with lids – this is how you organize your home

Storage boxes with lids provide peace of mind, overview and a uniform style in the home. When you put the lid on, you can easily stack in cabinets and on shelves, so you take advantage of the height without losing access. At élé living, we work for aesthetics and function in balance - that's why we recommend a few, repeated sizes and a simple system that suits your daily routines. Think in zones: What do you use where, and how often do you need to be able to reach it. With a well-thought-out setup, it's easy to find what you need and just as easy to put it back in place.

A stable system starts with good boxes and lids. Choose sturdy, stackable versions so you can build in height on the shelving unit, on the wardrobe shelves or in the utility room. Start with two or three fixed sizes and stick to them - it gives a calm expression. Consider boxes with smooth sides for a strict line or a more natural structure if you want a softer look. View the selection of boxes and choose sizes that match your shelves so that the stack stands securely and straight.

Measure the depth and height of your shelves, and include the height of the lid. Small boxes are good for cables, chargers, and office supplies. Medium boxes are good for cleaning supplies, extra care products, and smaller-sized textiles. Large boxes work for bedding or larger equipment that is rarely used. Place the heaviest items at the bottom, and keep each box to one clear category.

In the kitchen, it's all about grouping related parts together so you have a solid grip: a box for baking equipment, one for packed lunches and one for serving. Lids make it easier to stack on the top shelf and still keep things tidy. Combine with storage jars for flour, pasta and nuts to create a bright and clear look on the shelf. This makes it easy to see what's in stock and keep a steady rhythm in your kitchen storage.

Refrigerator boxes are ideal for creating clear zones in the refrigerator. Close the boxes with their own lids and stack them on top of each other to optimize space and keep categories separate. A practical example is the refrigerator box xs , which is good for small items that otherwise clutter up, such as snacks and cold cuts. Choose medium boxes for dairy products, open jars and larger fruits and vegetables. When you pull out the box, it is easy to see the contents and put it back in place. If you have excess food, the boxes can also be used in the freezer for a uniform system across the refrigerator and freezer.

Create permanent places for socks, underwear, sportswear and accessories, so they are easy to take out and put back. A white medium storage box with a lid stands neatly on the shelf and can be stacked in two or three layers. Use one box per category and keep the same sizes on each shelf for a tight, aesthetic line. In the hallway, you can collect key-related parts, sunglasses and small items in their own box, so surfaces remain tidy.

• Measure your shelves - plan by height with lids on.
• Choose 2-3 sizes and buy several of the same for a consistent system.
• Give each box one clear category and place them to suit your routines.
• Close lids, stack vertically and keep floors and countertops free of clutter.
• Review the content briefly every week and adjust if something moves category.
