Storage box with lid - see tips for easy organization

A storage box with a lid collects small and large items into fixed categories, so shelves, drawers and racks quickly become manageable. The lid makes it easy to stack and create a calm expression, whether you're organizing in the kitchen, wardrobe, bathroom or utility room. Think of fixed homes for each area - when everything has its box, it's easier to tidy up and keep order in everyday life.

Stackable boxes provide structure from floor to top shelf. Choose a few, repeatable sizes and stick to clear categories such as toys, office supplies or seasonal textiles. A simple method is to put wide boxes at the bottom and narrower ones on top, so that the height of the shelf is used. For long shelves, you can divide into zones and build in columns, so that each box always goes back into its place. See the selection of boxes for robust solutions for both visible and hidden storage.

• Start with one area at a time, such as a shelf or a closet.
• Empty the shelf, sort the contents into 3-4 fixed categories and assign each category its own box with a lid.
• Place the most frequently used categories at eye level and less frequently used ones higher or lower.

Lidded bins are a great choice for the fridge and freezer. Small bins are great for berries and snacks, while medium-sized bins are great for dairy products, open jars and larger fruits and vegetables. Cover each bin with its own lid and stack them to make the most of the height. When you pull out a bin, the contents are easy to see and put back in place. Browse practical storage bins and find matching sizes for your needs. If you need ideas for your fridge, check out the fridge organisation collection.

• Gather breakfast items close together, e.g. snacks and dairy products in middle zones.
• Use the top shelf for less frequently used items and stacked bins with lids.
• Stick to the same sizes so you can quickly rearrange and gain an overview.

Storage jars with lids create order on the kitchen shelf and make flour, pasta, rice and nuts easy to see and use. Clear jars provide a full overview, and lids made of natural materials can give a warm look to the kitchen. Glass is also suitable for keeping pests out of dry goods. Place the most used items at the front and put spare stock at the back. Explore storage jars to create a consistent look in cabinets and on open shelves.

In the bathroom, boxes with lids can collect extra products, makeup and small accessories, leaving the countertop free. In the wardrobe, clear boxes create a quick overview of accessories such as belts, scarves and small bags. Stack by frequency - what you use often is at the top and front, while less frequent items are at the back. Get more solutions tailored to clothes and accessories in our wardrobe category .

• Contents: Define what the box should hold - choose length and width according to the largest item in the category.
• Placement: Measure the shelf or cabinet depth so that the lid can be opened and the box can be taken in and out without friction.
• Sizes in a system: Choose 2-3 fixed sizes so they can be stacked and moved around without breaking the rhythm.
• Transparency: Clear boxes provide an overview, while matte or dark variants are good for visible storage where you want a calm look.

Take a short moment each week to put items back in the correct boxes. When the categories are clear and the lids ensure stacking, it's easy to maintain an overview. Adjust sizes or placements if a category grows - the system should fit your everyday life, not the other way around.

With a thoughtful selection of storage boxes with lids, you create calm spaces, better flow, and a home where function and aesthetics go hand in hand. Start small, fine-tune, and build up stacks where you get the most impact first.
