Storage boxes - Get an overview in the kitchen and fridge

Storage boxes are a simple way to create more calm, clarity, and flow in the home. When food, small items, and everyday products have a fixed place, it becomes easier to find what you need and easier to keep things tidy over time. At Ele Living, storage is not just about functionality, but also about an aesthetic that brings balance to everyday life.

In the kitchen, storage boxes can be used to group food and small items, making shelves and drawers more manageable. Choose boxes based on the area they will be used in: low boxes for drawers, spacious containers for cabinets, and smaller containers for food that can easily get lost in the crowd.

For general organization, storage boxes are particularly practical on shelves, in cabinets, and in places where you want to group several smaller items together. For food, storage tubs can be a good solution, as they make it easy to organize by meal, food type, or family routines.

When storage boxes are used in the refrigerator, the goal is to create zones that suit your everyday life. Small refrigerator boxes are particularly useful for small loose food items such as snacks and cold cuts, while medium sizes can be used for dairy products, opened jars, and larger fruit and vegetables.

A practical example is the refrigerator box XS, which is good for small items that otherwise easily become cluttered. If you choose refrigerator boxes with lids, you can close the boxes with their own lid and stack them on top of each other to make better use of space in the refrigerator. When you pull out a box, it is easy to see the contents and put it back in place. See also the selection for the refrigerator if you want to create a more fixed structure around the food.

A good storage solution starts with choosing a few repeating sizes and placing them according to the family's routines. This creates a calm look and makes the system easier to stick with.

• Small boxes: Good for berries, snacks, cold cuts, and small food items that quickly get hidden at the back.
• Medium boxes: Use them for dairy products, opened jars, or food you use often.
• Larger boxes: Suitable for fruit, vegetables, and larger packages that require more space.
• Boxes with lids: Practical when you want to stack and create more vertical space in the refrigerator or freezer.

Storage boxes work well together with storage jars, especially if you want to create a uniform look in the kitchen. Square, stackable jars in sizes from 500 to 2000 ml can be used for dry goods such as rice, pasta, oats, and nuts. Lids in acacia or bamboo give a warm and natural look, while also making the contents easier to see.

Storage jars are also a good solution when you want to display food on the shelf without visual clutter. They help keep things tidy and can also make it harder for pests to access dry goods.

The best storage boxes are those that suit the life you actually live. Therefore, start with one area at a time, such as a kitchen drawer, a cabinet, or a shelf in the refrigerator. First sort, then group food into categories, and finally choose boxes in sizes that suit that particular space.

When each category has its fixed place, the home becomes easier to navigate. It not only creates order but also more capacity in everyday life - exactly the calm and aesthetic feeling that Ele Living works to bring into the home.
